`
`LENGTH: 687 words
`
`DATELINE: LAS VEGAS, June 13, 2000
`
`BODY: Bristol Technology Inc. today announced the immediate availability of esleuth, the first major
`release of its new, revolutionary transaction analysis software. esleuth will be demonstrated this week at the
`IBM MQSeries Technical Conference in Las Vegas in booth No. 100.
`
`esleuth is the first software solution to provide companies with a global view of their e-business transactions,
`dramatically improving the quality, performance, and reliability of e-business systems. This unique insight
`enables companies to visually cut through system complexity and pinpoint information flow failures and
`performance bottlenecks. By analyzing the flow of information throughout IBM (NYSE:IBM) MQSeries-based
`systems, eS|euth helps ensure that e-business information gets to the right place, at the right time, with the
`right content.
`
`"eBusiness transactions, due to their high complexity, cross-application reach, as well as unique timing and
`reliability characteristics, require an entirely fresh approach in terms of monitoring," said Evan Quinn, vice
`president for Hurwitz Group. "eSleuth's unique method of providing solution-level transactional insight offers
`development and production groups a huge step forward in analyzing their eBusiness transactions."
`
`"As company's MQSeries environments expand and begin to make use of new technologies such as Clustering
`and IBM's MQSeries Integrator Version 2 (MQSI V2), eS|euth's value dramatically increases," said Chane
`Cullens, Bristol's President. "eSleuth is the only software that can track and analyze transactions from end to
`end, including inside Clustering and MQSI V2. We're dedicated to staying in step with these growing IBM
`standards in the market, and to helping companies get their arms around the rapid growth of their MQSeries-
`based systems."
`
`esleuth
`
`esleuth consists of a central Analyzer and esensors installed on each host in the e-business system. The
`esleuth Analyzer is an intuitive Windows NT-based program that collects, correlates, and graphically presents
`e-business events. eSensors are lightweight, unobtrusive software components that collect information about
`each MQSeries API call and forward this information to the Analyzer. No application software changes are
`required. Key features include:
`
`-- Centralized Data Analysis Allows enterprise applications running on multiple systems in multiple locations to
`be analyzed from a single console
`
`-- Dynamic Transaction Visualization Provides unique insight into the transactions occurring within the entire
`distributed e-business system
`
`-- Powerful Data Filtering Reduces the time needed to analyze problems by enabling companies to zero-in on
`exactly the information they need to identify and solve problems
`
`-- API Level Monitoring Provides a new level of information that tells companies why and where a problem has
`occurred, not just when
