AVIcode Acquired by Microsoft

AVIcode, Inc. has been acquired by Microsoft.  Both AVIcode and Microsoft share a common vision about the evolution of application performance management and monitoring and the ever- growing need for organizations to gain 360-degree visibility into both application behavior and user experience. As applications continue to leverage Web 2.0 technologies like Silverlight and become ever-more distributed, and as the user audience for these applications also becomes more distributed, multiple points of failure are introduced into the application environment.  Discovering, diagnosing and triaging failures at the moment they occur is challenging at best, painfully time-consuming and resource intensive at worst.

With AVIcode’s technology, thousands of users worldwide have dramatically reduced the time required to diagnose and resolve application problems. AVIcode’s real-time detection, alerting and root cause diagnosis capabilities – from both the server and end user perspective – are unmatched, and when paired with a systems management solution like Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, deliver unsurpassed visibility into the entire application environment, from the end user, across application tiers, and back. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft, AVIcode will continue to support our worldwide base of users. AVIcode will fulfill its commitments to these customers and assist them in the transition to Microsoft’s systems and processes. Moving forward, our customers and the larger application performance management (APM) market will benefit greatly from the strength of the pairing of Operations Manager with AVIcode’s technology.  Critical datacenter applications and services will be more reliable and more available than ever before, driving business success and user satisfaction.
