BEZ Systems Announces Immediate Availability for Latest BEZPlusTM Release

BEZPlus Version 5.7.5 Adds Powerful Automation Features

BOSTON, MA, June 7, 2005 - BEZ Systems, the leading provider of Predictive Performance Management (PPM) solutions, today announced immediate availability of its flagship BEZPlus (Version 5.7.5) product. This latest release includes a powerful new automated Adviser component that identifies and prioritizes database tuning candidates based on estimated CPU and other resource savings. BEZPlus Adviser performance reports present tuning candidates in Indexes, Summary Tables, Denormalization, and Materialized Views.

In addition to the new Adviser component, BEZPlus also includes a powerful new Workload Copy facility. Workload Copy is particularly useful for:

  • New applications on a test machine that need to be evaluated with production workloads
  • Quantifying the performance and payback from Server consolidations
  • Assessing the impact of migrating to a new platform and hardware configuration.

BEZPlus Version 5.7.5 is currently shipping to all BEZ customers with current maintenance contracts.

"All of us at BEZ fully appreciate how busy our customers continue to be," said Randy Arseneau, Vice President of Product Marketing for BEZ Systems. "By automating as many functions as we can, we believe that we are not only saving them a lot of time and effort but we are also helping them to become more effective in their everyday lives." BEZPlus users can now generate powerful 'Top X Tuning Recommendations' and 'Change Impact Analysis' reports with minimal or no manual intervention. "It allows them to quickly identify tuning candidates and quantify the tuning impact -- virtually hands-off", according to Mr. Arseneau.
