Confio Software, the provider of wait-time application performance management tools, today announced the Ignite Web Client, an extension of the Confio Igniter Suite. Accessed via a standard web browser, the Ignite Web Client allows IT management and database administrators the ability to remotely access and monitor enterprise database and application performance.

    The Ignite Web Client extends the power of the Confio Igniter Suite through the web browser for users who prefer not to install a full Windows client on their desktop. Additionally, Confio has increased the power of the suite with new functionality, new features to allow a user to drill down into detailed data and see the path of analysis, making it easy to retrace the analysis steps.

    "Companies need comprehensive management tools that provide monitoring, automation and administration capabilities for the entire technology and applications stack - enabling companies to not only minimize IT infrastructure complexity and cost, but also ensure the health of everyday business processes," said Ray Paquet, research analyst, Gartner

    Using a newly designed interface, the Ignite Web Client makes Ignite performance results accessible to more users, regardless of location and eliminates the need to pre-configure a client prior to benefiting from Ignite. Managing application performance, both onsite and virtually, is paramount for companies. Confio's entire suite of application performance management tools are developed to ensure maximum database and application optimization.

    "Confio's expanding customer base has come to rely on Confio to deliver innovation in the world of wait-time application performance management," said Don Bergal, chief operating officer of Confio Software. "Today's introduction satisfies a significant need among our customers that are looking to support disparate groups to manage and optimize applications. The delivery of the Ignite Web Client provides for the infrequent and remote DBAs to streamline efficiencies and manage their applications."

    Confio Ignite measures end-user wait-time with detailed granularity and gives IT management a clear direction of who should own the performance problem. Built on industry best-practice Wait-Time methods, Confio Ignite uses a patented agent-less architecture that identifies the exact command and database process causing delays without draining performance. For DBAs, the product identifies the exact modules and screens that affect database performance and prescribes the best path towards resolution.

    The beta test version of Ignite Web Client is now available for customer trials and is expected to be released to full production later this quarter. To learn more about Confio Software and the new Ignite Web Client, please visit Confio Software's website. The Web Client does not replace the need for at least one system administrator to use the full Windows Client, as certain essential setup, maintenance, reporting and alerting features are accessible only through the full Windows Client. However, for casual usage of Ignite features, the Web Client offers the most frequent access.
