OpTier, a provider of business transaction management (BTM) for the enterprise, announced the availability of CoreFirst 3.0, an enhanced version of the company's software. CoreFirst links business and IT so that transactions flow smoothly through the IT infrastructure, ensuring services remain uninterrupted and business goals are met. CoreFirst 3.0 now supports the Microsoft Application Framework (.NET).

As a result of business changes, such as consolidation and rapid growth, as well as new computing initiatives, organizations continue to introduce complexity into their operations. This complexity requires strong management capabilities to monitor and control the execution of multicomponent services, so that IT service delivery can be assured.

Enhancements to CoreFirst 3.0 include:

Complete visibility: In-flight transaction monitoring provides insight to IT managers that can save time with corrective measures even before a faulty transaction terminates or exceeds cut-off service-level agreements (SLAs).

Improved end user experience: Transaction error monitoring identifies erroneous transactions and displays them alongside ones that have completed for at-a-glance understanding of overall SLA compliance.

Transactions flow without bottlenecks or outages: Detailed reporting provides many useful reports directly from the CoreFirst console. IT managers now can identify chatty transactions that affect latency and scalability, view topology changes, and compare tier activity during particular time frames.

Reduced costs and better ability to meet service-level objectives: Enhanced scalability enables CoreFirst to manage large-scale environments with tens of millions of transactions per day, meeting the needs of even the largest enterprises.

"Increasingly, we are seeing a significant disconnect between the business that is driven by the need for the rapid delivery of quality products and services and the agility of IT to react to change to support those business goals," says Motti Tal, executive vice president of marketing, product, and business development at OpTier. "CoreFirst has been proven to be a mission-critical solution to this need, making business transaction management an affordable reality for companies looking to eliminate the existing chasm between business and IT."
