09/22/2008 | BlueStripe Software Named Best of VMworld 2008 Finalist for Application and Infrastructure Management

FactFinder™ receives industry recognition for innovative offering that eliminates the barriers to migrating and managing business-critical applications on virtual server platforms

RTP, N.C. – September 22, 2008 – Just weeks after launching operations, BlueStripe Software, the only provider of APM 2.0 solutions for virtualized data center environments, today announced that its flagship product, FactFinder, was named a Best of VMworld 2008 Finalist at VMworld 2008 in the infrastructure and application management category. Awarded last week by TechTarget Inc.’s SearchServerVirtualization.com, winners were selected by an independent team of judges consisting of experts and editors from SearchServerVirtualization.com and its sister site, SearchVMware.com, who reviewed and evaluated products according to innovation, value, performance, reliability, and ease of use.

“Being recognized as one of the Best of VMworld 2008 finalists provides further validation that BlueStripe has taken a fundamentally different approach by offering a solution that manages and follows the application, wherever it goes,” said Chris Neal, co-founder and CEO of BlueStripe Software. “With FactFinder, we’re providing visibility into the applications that run the business, not simply the hardware or server views provided by other approaches – a first for the virtualized data center environment.”

FactFinder is the industry’s only solution to enable enterprises to stage, deploy, and manage business-critical applications in virtual data center environments with the same degree of confidence and control as traditional environments. By bridging the gap between enterprise applications and the new virtual environments on which they are being deployed, FactFinder gives IT support teams the management visibility, the tools to measure, and the ability to triage their critical business applications during physical to virtual (P2V) conversions, application staging, and production deployment.

“BlueStripe’s FactFinder delivers extensive application visibility with very detailed information, allowing us to see what is affecting our application performance,” stated Gregory Clary, CEO and Founder of Mi-Co, a developer of mobile data collection software solutions for field inspection, healthcare, clinical trials and government. “With intelligence from FactFinder, we can quickly resolve performance issues and keep mobile data solutions running at their best.”
