Longitude 5.0, from Heroix, based in Newton, Mass., gives organizations the ability to manage IT performance and business service levels. In the latest 5.0 version, Longitude accelerates time to deployment, delivers immediate insight and expedites the resolution of technology performance problems.
There are customized real-time dashboards, reports and alerts, and topology-based views and annotations for reports and SLAs. This release also has the ability to generate synthetic Web transactions and monitor virtual machines.
Longitude 5.0's new features include the following:
