Gomez Unveils Gomez Performance Network 6.5 Featuring First Intelligent Diagnostic Capability for Web Performance Problems

Lexington, Massachusetts (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Gomez Performance Analyzer saves customers time and money by
quickly restoring optimum response time

Leading Internet application performance management company Gomez,
Inc. today unveiled the Gomez Performance Network (GPN) 6.5,
featuring new "Performance Analyzer" technology that provides
automated intelligent diagnostics for web applications and web site
performance problems. Performance Analyzer provides unparalleled
diagnostic insight and for the first time prescribes specific,
real-time actions for restoring peak performance in web-deployed
environments.

The Gomez Performance Analyzer embeds expert rules and
intelligence, built from the experience of analyzing billions of
performance tests for the world's 500 largest brands and web
properties. The Gomez Performance Analyzer delivers clear, actionable
solutions to complex performance shortfalls. Unlike other solutions
that simply offer data, the Gomez Performance Analyzer provides
context and specific guidance in both executive summary and
technically detailed levels to commonly encountered web performance
problems. This dramatically reduces IT costs and enhances operational
efficiency by improving mean time to problem identification and
resolution. Thus, businesses are able to increase revenue retention
and safeguard their online brand reputation.

"The Performance Analyzer is a quantum leap in web performance
management," said Chief Executive Officer Jaime Ellertson. "It is the
first step in our strategic plan to infuse performance management
with intelligence. Web technologies continue to evolve rapidly, with
leading companies embracing new paradigms such as Web 2.0. These new
technologies substantially increase the complexity and manageability
challenge of maintaining optimal performance. As best practices
evolve, Gomez will continuously extend the capabilities of the
Performance Analyzer, embedding the collective experience of the
Gomez community with new technologies. This will go a long way toward
our vision of enabling our customers to continually optimize
performance for strategic advantage."

"The Gomez Performance Analyzer is like having a Ph.D. in web
performance at your side finding needles in technical haystacks and
discovering in 30 seconds what would have taken hours or more to
solve by reviewing reams of server logs," said Dr. Arthur Mateos,
worldwide product strategist for Gomez. "This essential technology
rapidly finds and fixes problems. For many customers, these new
capabilities will reveal critical information they weren't aware they
were missing."

Other new features in GPN 6.5

New Advanced Problem Identification features in GPN 6.5 help
customers more quickly identify the cause of web performance
problems, not just the symptoms. The GPN's unique Screen Capture on
Error capability -- which shows IT and business users exactly which
web pages or objects are causing problems -- has been enhanced in GPN
6.5 to include more details on the context of the failure. The
inclusion of HTTP headers helps customers understand browser-server
interactions, while Traceroutes on Error enables customers to
pinpoint network-related problems.

Gomez continues to enhance the overall manageability of the GPN by
providing powerful new tools that especially benefit large
enterprises that perform high volumes of testing, configuration and
analysis. Customers can now more easily manage thousands of alerts,
which can be sent to selected destinations -- e.g., teams and
departments -- rather than individuals. Alerts are now available in
HTML for quicker comprehension and coded in XML for integration with
event management systems and various devices.

The Gomez Performance Network is an integrated system of
electronic agents at Internet backbone locations and end-user
computers that continuously monitor uptime and response time of
customers' critical web sites and services around the world. Gomez
has improved the GPN's foundation technology itself, upgrading
hardware and software, including the Gomez Universal Transaction
Agent (UTA), the GPN's data-collecting transaction monitor. Gomez
continues to extend the reach of its network and now includes more
than 12,000 individual points of measurement worldwide. For more
