BEZ Systems Announces Certification for Teradata® Warehouse 8.0

Timely Release Helps Teradata Customers Proactively Manage Change

BOSTON, May 5, 2005 - BEZ Systems, a leading provider of Predictive Performance Management (PPM) solutions, announced that it is extending the support of its flagship BEZPlusTM product to include the newest Teradata solution - Teradata® Warehouse 8.0. BEZ certification ensures that BEZPlus clients who upgrade to the Teradata enterprise data warehouse will be able to better leverage the data warehouse for advanced business intelligence.

"We value our long term relationship with BEZ because of their ability to support our joint customers," said Randy Lea, Vice President of product and services marketing for Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation. "The data warehouse capacity planning and monitoring tools provided by BEZPlus have become critical when establishing data warehouse performance expectations. This is especially true when upgrading, because workloads have become more demanding with the combination of both operational and historical data in enterprise data warehouses."

"Supporting new versions of Teradata in a timely manner is very important to our customers," said Randy Arseneau, BEZ Systems Vice President of product marketing. "By allowing them to proactively plan and manage capacity during an upgrade of their enterprise data warehouse, they are reducing risk, maintaining the performance of critical database applications and ensuring business continuity."

Managing inevitable change in a complex environment is one of the major challenges IT organizations face in providing high service levels to support their business. Implementing a new database release can be one of these challenges that affect the performance of existing production applications. Improved performance changes the provision dynamic in a positive way. If applications do not perform as planned, administrators need to know what can be done to improve performance. BEZPlus was specifically designed to help customers determine what to expect from upcoming changes, such as a database version upgrade, before implementing them in a production environment.
