JProbe 7.0 Offers DSI Enhanced Performance Tuning Capabilities

(Cork, Ireland) March 13th 2007

Quest Software’s comprehensive tool suite is the backbone of DSI’s Java pre-production performance testing methodology process, giving our enterprise clients added confidence in the scalability and performance of our applications.

DSI uses the JProbe Suite to quickly diagnose and resolve performance issues in JavaEE and JavaSE applications at the line of code level. The recent release of JProbe 7.0 enhances this pre-production testing and ensures that our applications continue to meet the expected quality standards.

Quest Software’s press release as follows:

Quest Software introduces the next advancement of its award-winning Java Performance Tuning Solution

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 12, 2007 – Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT) today announced the next version of its award-winning JProbe solution, a leading Java product with more than 25,000 existing users. JProbe 7.0 offers enhanced capabilities and reflects Quest’s support of major platform vendors including Sun Microsystems’ latest Java Standard Edition Release, Java SE 6, and IBM Java Virtual Machine (JVM) advanced memory diagnostics.

DeCare Systems Ireland, a developer of Internet and intranet e-business systems, employs JProbe, part of Quest’s Application Assurance Suite, to reduce the number of performance and availability problems. “Today, we are experiencing reduced timelines, measurably higher quality output, and an enhanced ability to deliver complex enterprise-level systems,” said Jason Barry, performance architect at DeCare Systems. “By clearly identifying the key characteristics of our process (e.g., simplicity, productivity and stability), we have seen levels of regression errors decrease by orders of magnitude.”

JProbe 7.0 continues Quest’s tradition of providing unrivalled breadth and depth of analysis capabilities with significant new features that make it an even stronger market choice. These include:

• Sun Java SE 6 and JVM Support to leverage the reliability and predictability of the Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface for diagnostic data collection
• Stronger Memory Analysis to provide deeper-level memory statistics, tracing of object references, “what if” resolution testing, and unique support for IBM Portable Heap Dump (PHD) analysis
• Optimized Performance Analysis Workflows with visualization of performance data for improved logical workflows that lead to simplified analysis and faster time-to- resolution
• Unified Console that includes three robust analysis tools – Memory, Performance and Coverage – and uses simple tabs so users can easily configure all three tools

JProbe 7.0 incorporates the unique features that made earlier versions of JProbe a market leader. JProbe offers automated memory, performance, coverage analysis, and drill-down to line-level of code for faster root cause analysis. It also proactively assesses the completeness and accuracy of test runs in development and QA. In addition, JProbe integrates with Quest’s PerformaSure®, which allows for multi-JVM and multi-tier Java application and portal performance diagnostics, to create the Quest Application Assurance Suite.

“IT organizations heavily depend on custom Java applications for critical business operations more than ever before,” said Tyler Jewell, senior director of product management for Quest Software’s Application Management group. “Java applications are becoming more complex in nature, and diagnosing and resolving performance and availability problems remain a challenge. Quest continues to set the standard for Java performance tuning with JProbe.”
