DETROIT, Nov. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR - News), today announced that Gomez, Compuware's Web performance division, released a new product, Gomez Active Data Center. It connects Gomez's "outside-in" end-user Web performance monitoring with "behind-the-firewall" infrastructure monitoring systems to provide an integrated view of application performance and IT service delivery across the Enterprise and the Internet. By aggregating Gomez Web application performance alerts with internal systems events, IT operations teams can more quickly identify internal systems causing business-impacting Web application performance issues.

"Traditionally, we've had to spend considerable time and energy investigating all potential sources of application performance issues. Now, using Gomez's Active Data Center, we have better insight towards the origin of a problem. We can now directly map possible performance problems experienced by end-users to chains of events in our data center, reducing investigation from many possible issues to just a handful of items," said David Lauck, Director of Technology Operations at Adknowledge.

When Web performance issues arise, organizations use the Gomez platform to determine if the root cause is in a browser, a third party, the Internet or inside their datacenter. If the issue is internal, Gomez Active Data Center enables IT teams to quickly isolate the specific systems causing the problem via a two-way exchange of data between their Gomez Web performance management and IT systems management tools. This integration can be achieved by either directly delivering Gomez alerts into a company's management software for analysis and correlation, or aggregating and pulling events into the Gomez portal. Gomez Active Data Center is a Software-as-a-Service based solution built on an open integration framework that integrates with IT management software from CA, HP, IBM, Nagios and others.

"Root cause analysis is an ongoing challenge for businesses, consuming time and resources," said Imad Mouline, Chief Technology Officer, Gomez Division, Compuware Corporation. "Gomez Active Data Center helps businesses triage and resolve Web application performance issues more efficiently by connecting end-users' experiences with behind-the-firewall events."

Gomez Active Data Center is immediately available today on a flexible, subscription basis. For more information, please visit http://www.gomez.com/products-solutions/technology/enterprise-integration/.
