NessPRO Italy and dynaTrace Assure Web Applications Quality

Milan, March 18, 2008. NessPRO Italy and dynaTrace software announced that they have reached an agreement for the distribution, in Italy, of dynaTrace Diagnostics®, the next-generation solution in application performance for business-critical Java and .NET applications. NessPRO Italy will be responsible for distributing dynaTrace Diagnostics® in Italy and will provide all the necessary professional services to help companies that want to maximize the reliability and performance of their critical applications. dynaTrace Diagnostics® is much more than a traditional application monitoring solution limited to monitoring application uptime and service-level fulfilment, raising alarms when problems are detected and identifying their symptoms. On the contrary, dynaTrace’s PurePath Technology® provides for the first time an easy and repeatable way to identify the true root cause of performance problems in distributed, heterogeneous Java and .NET applications – in both load testing and 24x7 production environments. This empowers all stakeholders within IT easily to reconstruct entire problem scenarios for further analysis without having to first attempt to reproduce them. Thus, blame games between individual IT teams can be systematically reduced or eliminated, and the problem resolution process can be accelerated and made much more agile. dynaTrace Diagnostics® enables the following benefits:

• Manage Application Performance
  • Detect and isolate performance problems 24x7
  • Diagnose quickly and resolve performance bottlenecks
  • Measure and report up-time/SLA compliance and recognize trends
• Reduce Risk of Missing Business Goals
  • Proactively avoid performance problems through "Design for Performance” best practices"
  • Report performance trends down to software components already within the testing cycle (white box testing)
• Optimize Usage of IT Resources
  • Resolve scalability issues in your application rather than buying new hardware
  • Tune the performance of distributed heterogeneous Java and .NET applications using a single solution
  • Use a single performance diagnosis tool across the entire application lifecycle and reduce conflicts between Development, QA, and Operations (outsourcing/off-shoring).

"For NessPRO Italy the agreement with dynaTrace Diagnostics® has strategic meaning, because it strengthens our offerings in the Web application performance management market. We can boast significant expertise in this market, gained through years of experience in support of major Italian companies," said Emilio Cremonesi, Managing Director of NessPRO Italy. "dynaTrace software also matches the profile of our ideal technology partner, because of its solution innovation and specialization peculiarities."

"We’re excited to be working with such an established and competent partner as NessPRO Italy," said Sok-Kheng Taing, Chief Marketing Officer of dynaTrace software." Italy is an important market for dynaTrace, and together with NessPRO’s expertise in the Application Performance Management (APM) market we expect to see in Italy the kind of success with dynaTrace we’ve experienced in other parts of the world." "Monitoring and troubleshooting critical applications is one of the main strategic lines that have characterized our activity in the market for 25 years. dynaTrace Diagnostics® is an essential technology for completing our offering in this field," said Massimo Fanton, Chief Operating Officer of NessPRO Italy. "Its innovative features have surprised us since the first contacts we have had with dynaTrace, and this has strengthened our determination to make this solution available to the Italian market."
