General Candle Precise Software		Precise Software Presice delivers Precise i³, a comprehensive solution for Application Performance Management that focuses directly on the end-user experience and delivers a rapid return on technology investments. By continuously monitoring and analyzing all vital components of the application infrastructure "from URL to SQL and Beyond™", Precise i³ proactively detects and corrects the root causes of performance degradation before they affect application response times. Precise i3 identifies trends and deviations from the norm, delivering the right balance of performance optimization and strategic business Precise Core technology Precise's solutions employ a unique, high-frequency sampling technology to capture database performance metrics accurately and without affecting database performance. They sample at the sub-second rates vital to generating an accurate picture of application performance and impose no overhead on the database. This unique technology supports: continuous (7x24), real-time, production-safe performance management short-term performance data collection (for instant problem identification and resolution) long-term performance data warehousing (for trend analysis and capacity planning). Precise i³ delivers a unique methodology that minimizes end user response times and simplifies the performance management of complex application infrastructures. Insight - "Where is the performance slowdown originating from?" Today's applications leverage multi-tier architectures to deliver versatility but these architectures make it difficult to identify the origin of performance degradation. Insight, with TotalCorrelation, helps solve this challenge by measuring response time across all architectural tiers from "URL to SQL" and segmenting the response time by tier. Insight identifies "where you should focus your efforts". Indepth - "What should be done to fix it?" Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are captured from the entire IT infrastructure, 24ª7, to ensure no matter where and when degradation starts, it never goes unrecognized. SmarTune is then leveraged to drill-down into the component level techology such as web servers, applications servers, middleware, databases and storage to automatically identify the definitive root cause and generate expert tuning advice. Indepth identifies "why" there is a problem and "what" should be done to fix it. Inform - "Is there a performance problem right now? Was there one yesterday? Will there be one tomorrow?" Knowing "when" to focus on performance is just as important as knowing "what" to do to fix it. Without trends, baselines, exceptions and alerts, it is difficult to efficiently manage application performance. Inform provides timely notification of the slightest degradation so maximum time is available to leverage the tuning advice offered by SmarTune. Whether the notification is the result of a service level violation or a performance metric starting to degrade, communication is sent to the right person at the right time. Precise Product Suite Insight product family - provide consistent view across diverse technologies Precise/Insight™ measures the response time of the sequence of IT components that make up a multi-tier application and provides a perspective that identifies the inefficient components. Precise/Savvy™ for Web segments the response time on a web server by URL. Precise/Savvy for BEA Tuxedo™ segments the response time on a BEA Tuxedo server by the time spent in Tuxedo services and the time spent queuing for a service. Precise/Savvy for Oracle® correlates performance data from Precise/Indepth for Oracle to provide the metrics necessary to identify the source of performance degradation on the database server. Precise/Savvy for the J2EE™ Platform correlates performance data from Precise/Indepth for the J2EE Platform to provide the detail necessary to identify the source of performance degradation on the J2EE application server. Indepth product family - comprehensive analysis capabilities Precise/Indepth™ for Oracle optimizes the performance of applications that use an Oracle database. With comprehensive application and database monitoring and tuning, Precise/Indepth for Oracle helps users pinpoint poorly written SQL statements, inefficient use of indexes and model potential solutions. Precise/Indepth for DB2® UDB optimizes the performance of applications that use IBM DB2 UDB. With comprehensive application and database monitoring and tuning, Precise/Indepth for DB2 UDB helps users pinpoint poorly written SQL statements, inefficient use of indexes and model potential solutions. Precise/Interpoint® monitors the SAP R/3 or Oracle Application servers and reveals the origin of SQL statements sent to the database that otherwise have a generic origin. Precise/Indepth for the J2EE Platform measures the response time of HTTP requests (servlets and JSP's) and EJB invocations. It segments response time by J2EE application server and database server, and correlates problematic SQL statements with EJBs, JSPs, and Servlets. Precise/Indepth for Transactions Enables IT organization to measure true end user response times to all web-based information. Precise/Indepth for SQL Server Focuses on database performance from the application perspective, guiding users from problem detection to correction. Savant™ uses interactive visualization to simplify the diagnostic process minimizing problem resolution time. This solution detects real-time events based on deviations from normal performance and provides easy to understand visual indicators that identify the source of performance degradation. Inform product family - Deliver versatile information via a web enabled portal Precise/Pulse!™ continuously monitors and alerts upon the performance of critical performance indicators providing unattended operations and delivers an up-todate view of application health, allowing staff to resolve performance degradation before business is impacted. If an enterprise-wide system management console has already been adopted, alerts can be forwarded via Precise/Pulse! to other event console. Precise/Foresight™ a performance portal that provides analysis and planning capabilities by delivering trending and exception reports via the web. With the Precise/Foresight solution the many years of performance expertise have been embedded to create unique views and indicators of performance that result in intelligent decisions.
