/PRNewswire/ -- BlueStripe Software, the industry's leading
provider of Application Service Management (ASM) solutions for
today's dynamic IT infrastructures, today announced that its
FactFinder product is helping Columbus-based State Auto Insurance
Company manage critical applications and ensure successful
application roll-outs. The companies will co-present their work on
preparing and managing mission-critical business applications to
run in VMware data center environments at the Central Ohio Area
VMware User Group (VMUG) on June 16 at 9 a.m. local time.
"Virtualizing critical business applications presents both the
biggest benefits and the greatest challenges that IT departments
face today," said BlueStripe Vice President of Engineering Shane
O'Donnell. "By presenting together at the Central Ohio VMUG, VMware
users can better understand the overarching application
complexities of their physical and virtual server environments, can
gain insight on service-level application performance measurement,
and can learn about new approaches to solving their application
management issues." VMUG attendees will get a special first look at
a BlueStripe-State Auto case study in the form of an in-person
presentation by State Auto's Thom Hall. BlueStripe's Shane
O'Donnell will address use cases, "The VI Blame-Game" and
"Application Problem Resolution," followed by a demonstration of
Application Service Management (ASM) practices and applications.
State Auto and BlueStripe will conclude with an open discussion and
Q&A. BlueStripe's FactFinder employs a unique service-level
driven approach to application triage, enabling users to follow the
service level hop-by-hop across application tiers, identify the
offending server, and drill down through each layer in the server
stack to isolate the performance issue. It automatically creates a
map of the entire application structure highlighting process-level
dependencies of the application end-to-end, captures detailed
performance metrics to measure the application's health and
performance, and provides quick triage capabilities when problems
arise. FactFinder provides those responsible for managing
business-critical applications with the tools to measure
application health and performance and the ability to triage
applications, during platform changes, new application roll-outs,
and to manage and support production applications. About BlueStripe
