nVision Software Introduces Industry's First Distributed .NET Exception Management Solution
nVision Fault Manager for .NET Improves Uptime and Availability for .NET Applications and Web Services and Reduces IT Support Costs
Las Vegas, Nevada, March 16, 2004 -- nVision Software Technologies, LLC. today announced the industry's first distributed exception management solution for Microsoft .NET based applications and web services. nVision Fault Manager for .NET provides IT managers who manage business-critical .NET applications and web services with affordable, real-time detection and notification of .NET errors giving them visibility and control of their .NET application environments.
".NET-based web services technologies can provide substantial benefits in terms of their re-use and more rapid time to development," said Cameron Haight, Research Director at Gartner, Inc. However, they can potentially introduce additional complexity into an already challenging management environment. Organizations seeking to deploy these applications should look for vendors that can augment their current management infrastructure with tools that can provide granular visibility into the key components of the .NET architecture."
Using the industry's most robust .NET instrumentation, nVision Fault Manager for .NET gives IT managers the tools they need to be able to quickly identify and resolve errors and exceptions when they occur.
nVision Fault Manager for .NET capabilities:
Real time .NET exception detection: Fault Manager for .NET detects application and web service exceptions in real time.
Real time notification: Fault Manager for .NET routes exception alerts based on a set of user definable rules, to the appropriate IT or development personnel via email.
Detailed Forensics: Fault Manager collects the error information needed to solve the problem from the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime and delivers it to the right person in real time.
Reporting and Charting: Fault Manager for .NET provides a reporting and charting engine for periodic, scheduled and real time reporting and charting.
Scalable Architecture: Fault Manager for .NET is built on the nVision Visibility Framework, an extensible framework that can manage from one to hundreds of .NET servers.
"nVision Fault Manager for .NET streamlines the troubleshooting process when we experience a problem with one of our .NET applications," said Antonio Marin, Director of Information Technology at Intec Engineering, a Houston Texas based worldwide provider of engineering services for the energy industry. "Fault Manager lets our staff know when there's a problem before our users call and gives us detailed information about the problem from the .NET framework that we can't get from anywhere else," said Marin.
