Empirix working with Intel to Provide Integrated Solution for Identifying Web Application Performance Bottlenecks

Empirix Integrates e-Load(R) with Intel(R) VTune(TM) Enterprise Analyzer to Provide Advanced In-Depth Performance Diagnostics Capabilities

WALTHAM, Mass. - November 25, 2002 - Empirix, the leading provider of
integrated test and performance monitoring solutions for Web, voice and
network applications, announced today that it is working with Intel
Corporation to provide a new class of integrated solutions for identifying
and quickly rectifying Web application performance bottlenecks. The
companies will integrate Empirix's e-Load(R) Web application load testing
solution (part of its e-TEST(TM) suite) with the Intel(R) VTune(TM)
Enterprise Analyzer, designed to monitor and improve the performance of
distributed applications.

Developers and QA teams use Empirix's e-Load to test and tune their Web
applications for optimal performance.  Thousands of enterprises around the
world prefer e-Load for its ease-of-use, re-usable scripts and ability to
efficiently simulate large numbers of Virtual User transactions.  The Intel
VTune Enterprise Analyzer helps developers and QA teams identify inter-tier
performance bottlenecks and better understand end-to-end hardware and
software behavior.  Available in .NET and Java editions, VTune Enterprise
Analyzer provides in-depth performance diagnostics for .NET, Windows DNA,
and J2EE applications, providing detailed information on inter-tier and
object activities to help identify bottlenecks.  

With an integrated solution, companies will gain unprecedented insight into
the performance of their enterprise Web applications: while e-Load simulates
thousands of Virtual Users executing real user transactions to stress the
application, VTune Enterprise Analyzer provides extensive insights into how
the Web infrastructure is utilized while serving the client's request.

"Intel is committed to helping customers create the fastest and most
scaleable software applications available," said Jonathan Khazam, general
manager of Intel's Software Products Division. "By working with Empirix, a
leader in Web application testing and performance management, we will enable
our customers to quickly identify the root cause of Web application
performance issues, and keep their applications running with optimal
performance."

Empirix previewed the integrated e-Load/VTune Enterprise Analyzer solution
at its recent Performance Summit user conference in Boston, where it
received an enthusiastic response from customers. "As Web applications
become increasingly complex, companies are challenged to ensure the
performance of these distributed systems," said Joe Fernandes, product
manager for Empirix's e-TEST suite. "The combination of e-Load and VTune
Enterprise Analyzer is a compelling new way for enterprises to test and
quickly pinpoint bottlenecks to ensure the performance of business-critical
distributed systems. We're looking forward to working with Intel to bring
this new capability to our customers."
