Symphoniq Announces TrueView, ADC Edition
Real User Monitoring Solution for Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)

Latest Release Extends TrueView's Capabilities to Manage Performance of F5 BIG-IP Delivered Web Applications

Palo Alto, Calif. — July 28, 2008 — Symphoniq Corp., a pioneer in real end user performance monitoring, today announced the immediate release of TrueView, ADC Edition. Designed for use with F5 Network, Inc's BIG-IP systems, TrueView, ADC Edition enables businesses to manage the Web application performance experienced by real users while leveraging their existing BIG-IP infrastructure. Powered by Symphoniq's TRUE (The Real User Experience) technology that uniquely addresses the performance issues associated with complex Web architectures, TrueView, ADC Edition reveals previously undetectable end user performance issues for any Web application and correlates them with BIG-IP device statistics and other infrastructure and network parameters.

"The number of organizations adopting application delivery controllers to accelerate Web application performance is growing rapidly, and with this increased market momentum, there needs to be sufficient visibility to ensure that performance will be optimized," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president of Enterprise Management Associates. "In order to manage Web application performance, ADC vendors should look to partner with providers that can take a proactive, end-to-end application-oriented approach based on real end-user performance results."

TrueView, ADC Edition offers businesses a solution to their complex Web application performance monitoring needs. By combining Symphoniq's award-winning TRUE technology and F5's iRules and iControl technology, it allows IT operations and network professionals to monitor real users and real transactions in real time while gaining complete visibility over their F5 devices to deliver the most comprehensive picture of application performance in a flexible and scalable management architecture.

"The F5-Symphoniq technology partnership is a great pairing of two innovative companies, and provides us with an effective, channel friendly solution for Web application delivery and performance management for our entire customer base," said Mark Harris, solutions architect at Trace3. "Organizations will gain the power of a comprehensive Web application performance monitoring tool that provides actionable information to optimize real user experience of Web applications delivered using BIG-IP—with no additional investment in third-party appliances."

TrueView, ADC Edition highlights include:

• Monitors application performance as experienced by the real users of HTML, AJAX, Flash and Silverlight applications
• Collects detailed Web performance parameters (such as response time, parsing time, time to first byte, and error rate) from the real user's perspective at the browser
• Allows setting of thresholds to generate alerts on Web performance parameters to support 24/7 operations
• Capture and report on F5 BIG-IP device statistics
• Correlates F5 BIG-IP device statistics with critical web application parameters to gain unprecedented visibility
• Business group oriented approach relates performance issues to business impact
• Customizable SQL-based reporting engine supports service level reporting and historical data archival
• Monitoring functionality leverages existing F5 BIG-IP appliances using iRules and iControl, no additional third-party appliance required
• Seamless migration to the full TrueView suite for end-to-end application performance monitoring and diagnostics

"With highly collaborative and interactive Web applications used by millions of businesses and consumers daily, many are being presented with new management challenges as well as unprecedented levels of brand risk," said Hon Wong, CEO and co-founder of Symphoniq. "It is essential for organizations to see into these potential problems and get a real view of what the end user is experiencing. By leveraging our longstanding partnership with F5, we are addressing this very real need."

TrueView, ADC Edition will debut at the F5 Partner's Summit in New Orleans, LA on July 28, 2008. For more information, please visit www.symphoniq.com or email .
