“Leveraging technology from the company’s October 1999
acquisition of Conduct Software Technologies, Topaz 3.0 introduces
a new non-intrusive, centrally located, network monitoring
solution, Topaz Prism, that captures and analyzes every single
request made to a Web server from all users, from all locations,
all the time. Topaz 3.0 also introduces custom monitors that
collect web and application server information for Alaire, Ariba,
BEA, Blue Martini, Broadvision, IBM WebSphere and others…..”
“Designed to handle very large volumes of traffic, Topaz Prism
traces real-time requests from the client to the server and
collects the Web transaction data, analyzes the data in real time
and generates a series of online reports that include both
high-level overviews and the ability to drill down into greater
detail….”
“In addition to alerting IT to end-user performance problems,
Topaz 3.0 collects information from resources on Web servers,
application servers, and database servers. Topaz 3.0 also
introduces new custom server monitors that collect application
specific information for Web servers such as Microsoft IIS, Apache
and Netscape; application servers such as Allaire, Coldfusion,
Ariba, Blue Martini, Broadvision, IBM Websphere, SilverStream, and
Microsoft ASP; and database servers such as Microsoft SQL server
and Oracle. Topaz 3.0 collects information from both the end-user
presentation layer and system resources and correlates end-user
performance problems to an application specific resource problem
shortening the time for performance resolution.”
