BOSTON, Mass. – April 8, 2008 — BEZ Systems, a leading provider of Predictive Performance Management (PPM) solutions, today announced they have been included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the March 31 published report "Cool Vendors in IT Operations, 2008" by Donna Scott, Milind Govekar, David Williams and Will Cappelli of Gartner, Inc.

"The accelerated rate of IT change and increased dependency on critical applications have forced companies to search for a more proactive approach to performance management", said Dan Haley, president and CEO of BEZ Systems. "We are pleased to be evaluated, which we believe is recognition, by Gartner, and included in their Cool Vendor report".

Having visibility into future application and database performance problems gives IT professionals the time and data necessary to make 'trusted changes'. BEZVision™ captures performance data, often from existing database and J2EE application performance monitors, and stores it in a Performance Management Database (PMDB) that BEZ refers to as the Consolidated Performance Warehouse. Cross-tier data is aggregated into business workloads to show past and present service delivery by business function. Forward looking automatic predictions alert users to future service breaches. Real-time changes to prediction models provide "what-if" analysis to understand how future change(s) will affect service delivery.
