INETCO launches Insight 5.3

May 28, 2013

INETCO Systems Ltd., a provider of network-based application performance monitoring software, has announced the availability of INETCO Insight 5.3. The software includes new features that make it easier and faster for IT operations teams to isolate problems in service-oriented architecture applications deployed within private, public and hybrid cloud environments, the company said in an announcement.

INETCO Insight 5.3 offers visibility into how all parts of a customer's enterprise system are performing by tracking the entire lifecycle of every transaction — without agents, extra traffic loads, or code changes.

New features of the software include:

• Scalable data collection capabilities — transaction traffic is captured from thousands of distributed collection points on or off the enterprise network. Collection points can be network-based (i.e., listening to SPAN ports) or host-based (i.e., low-level operating system service). This provides visibility into environments where network TAPs or SPAN ports are unavailable, and allows isolation of critical application traffic in high speed 10G and 40G environments.

• Patent-pending, real-time transaction correlation system — multi-hop, multi-step business transactions can be reassembled in real time using simple user-defined rules; the software's business transaction correlation capabilities now work within cloud-based architectures, rivalling agent-based or tag-and-trace transaction monitoring software.

• Mobile alerting interface — IT operations teams can identify and isolate critical transaction issues from anywhere using an Android, iOS or Blackberry mobile or tablet device. INETCO Insight 5.3 ships with a free HTML 5 client optimized for smartphone/tablet screens.

• Expanded protocol decode libraries — universal decoding engine now supports hundreds more network, Internet, transport, application layer and proprietary protocols to monitor every application in production, irrespective of source and deployment.

"With INETCO Insight 5.3, IT operations teams dealing with more and more enterprise services running across distributed application architectures and third-party networks can now track each individual transaction as it passes through any infrastructure environment," said Bijan Sanii, President and CEO of INETCO.

"This fresh, lightweight approach to application performance monitoring yields 65 to 75 percent faster problem resolution and removes the risk of application failure or slowdowns going undetected when our customers opt for more cost effective environments such as virtual data centers or the Cloud."
