dynaTrace Named "Cool Vendor" in IT Operations by Leading Industry Analyst Firm Vendors Selected for the "Cool Vendor" report are innovative, impactful and intriguing

Boston – 25 March 2009 – dynaTrace software, the leader in continuous application performance management across the lifecycle for business critical Java and .NET applications, has been named one of Gartner’s "Cool Vendors" in a research report published by Gartner, Inc. Written by David Williams, the report, "Cool Vendors in IT Operations, 2009," selected companies representing unique and interesting offerings in the IT management marketplace.

dynaTrace’s Continuous Application Performance Management solution – cited in the report – provides companies real-time visibility into the dynamic nature of their business-critical applications, enabling them to go beyond monitoring to capture detailed root-cause analysis 24x7 in production on all business transactions and accelerate mean-time-to-repair by 90%. Further, because dynaTrace is a single, integrated system spanning the entire lifecycle – with targeted editions for production, test and development – it facilitates the sharing of root-cause data between lifecycle users through a common dataset enabling companies to find and fix issues earlier in the lifecycle, saving time and money.

dynaTrace Test Center Standard Edition solves these problems by bringing an enterprise-class test center diagnostic solution – proven in the world’s most demanding organizations such as UBS, LinkedIn and SAS – to QA departments who need a more systematic and automated solution for Java and .Net applications.

Gartner defines a cool vendor as a company that offers technologies or solutions that are: Innovative, enable users to do things they couldn't do before; Impactful, have, or will have, business impact (not just technology for the sake of technology); Intriguing, have caught Gartner's interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months.

“We’re extremely proud to be named a ‘Cool Vendor’ by Gartner,” said John Van Siclen, CEO of dynaTrace. “In our view, this Cool Vendor report echoes what we’ve been hearing from customers for some time – that they need a new approach to manage the complexity inherent in today’s business-critical applications. dynaTrace’s solution for Continuous Application Performance Management across the lifecycle continues to gain industry recognition as a revolutionary APM solution.”

dynaTrace’s selection as Cool Vendor is the latest achievement for the company that is experiencing rapid growth by providing an innovative, next generation APM solution. The company now has over 100 enterprise customers that represent the leaders in their industries. dynaTrace recently moved to a larger office in Boston to accommodate its growth, opened a new office in the UK and hired Roger Andrews, former VP of EMEA for Wily, to head its European operations. Earlier this year, dynaTrace launched version 3 of its award-winning Continuous APM solution with new APM innovations including:

  • global tracing of distributed transactions to follow business transactions across geographically distributed applications to find and prevent performance issues before they happen
  • scaling across large server clusters and virtualized environments to meet the growing demands of changing production environments
  • advanced automation to eliminate labor intensive, manual costs
  • open, standards-based integration interfaces and extension framework enabling companies to save time and money while preserving existing investments

dynaTrace recently launched its Community Portal which allows its customers and partners to collaborate and share with each other their ideas, experiences and best practices. The Community portal is also a rich source of information from dynaTrace including software modules, tutorials, and training materials.
