Performance testing made easy, affordable for QA, Developers and Webmasters!
Press Release

San Jose, – April 28, 2009 – Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use performance monitoring and management software announces website performance testing service. With new Monitis Web Load Tester companies can not only instantly run their site performance tests, but keep historical records and manage performance scripts.

Website availability can significantly affect companies revenue and its online reputation. An article in Digg or another social media has potential to boost significant traffic but can kill the site if not performance tested. Companies may lose their page ranking and sales instead of benefiting from the increased traffic. Load tests on every release of new features and running the tests on pre-production environment is needed to understand website’s resilience. Having said, it is unwarranted for most companies to keep redundant servers just for load testing.

Monitis Web Load Tester (www.webloadtester.com) is the solution to prior mentioned challenges. QA, web developers, webmasters and even advanced business users can create load tests and run them within minutes leveraging a scalable testing platform. Besides affordable pricing, the easy to use interface does not require any learning. Users can leverage Web Load Tester’s analytics interface to continue to benchmark modifications with historical results. Beta version of Web Load Tester is well received by 100+ customers. Prior version of Web Load Tester required users pay per each new test and sends test results via email. Current enhanced version offers users the ability to login to their account, prepay for multiple tests via paypal or credit card, manage reports and provide access to multiple users.

“Our mission is to continually provide affordable enterprise-class tools to IT specialists for systems performance management” said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis.  “Monitis now provides not only performance monitoring solutions, but also proactive performance testing”. Monitis planned series of new product announcements in the near future.

In addition, these customers as well as current and new subscribers to Basic and Plus yearly plans will receive one top level domain name for free (.com, .net, .org, or .info).

Monitis provides tailor made plans for system health monitoring, external uptime and availability monitoring, performance and problem root case analysis tools, helping to reduce downtime and cost of operations.

Monitis had a similar successful campaign one year ago. Many companies in 2007 subscribed for yearly monitoring plans and stated the New Year with more confidence and peace of mind.

About Monitis
Monitis, Inc. is a one-stop shop for IT monitoring.  As a leading provider of server, network, and web application monitoring services helps to monitor business services end-to-end and enables problem quick root cause detection.  Monitis serves more than 25,000 service subscribers, monitors more than 130,000 hosts and performs over 20 million checks per day.

12 Dec, 2008, San Jose – Monitis, a leading provider of end-to-end IT monitoring services, launched a new Custom Plan Builder, enabling customers to identify and subscribe only for the monitoring services they need.

Monitis provides end-to-end monitoring Software as a Service (SaaS), connecting together the end-user experience and system health views.  In contrast to common “silo” monitoring, this holistic approach focuses on business services management and enables quick discovering and tracing of end-user problem up to its root cause. Till now Monitis services were “wrapped” into standard plans, and specific customer requirements were handled through direct communication with the support team. Monitis changed that today by releasing the Custom Plan Builder, which helps the users to define the type and the quantity of monitors, number of SMS alerts and number of sub-accounts they need. The Builder calculates monthly and yearly prices and customer can instantly subscribe using Paypal or credit card.    

Monitis Custom Plan Builder allows differentiating the needs per each user group like webmasters, system and network administrators, enterprise IT specialists and  managers, helpdesks, ISPs, MSPs and VARs. Customers can now make their own customized plan by defining amount of monitors per each of 4 types of monitors such as 1) external end-user view monitors, 2) internal network/system health monitors, 3) multi-step applications or transaction monitors, and 4) traffic monitors/web analytics. Customizable dashboards bring “silo” monitors into comprehensive business views.

“Our goal is to make Monitis truly on-demand and highly customizable service” says Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO and Founder, “We enabled our users to control their views, alerting rules, set 3^rd party access and flexibly configure the  monitors. And now users can build their own customized plans and pay only for the services they really use.” Users may sign up to 15 days free trial to test the service before subscribing.

About Monitis

Monitis, Inc. is a one-stop shop for IT monitoring.  As a leading provider of server, network, and web application monitoring services helps to monitor business services end-to-end and enables problem quick root cause detection.  Monitis serves more than 25,000 service subscribers, monitors more than 130,000 hosts and performs over 20 million checks per day.

September 23, 2008, San Jose, CA – Monitis, a leading provider of website monitoring,  today released a domain suggestion service that eases the difficulty of finding relevant and available domain names.  Using this analysis engine combines dictionaries and thesauruses of multiple languages with linguistic methods. This way businesses can use AptDomain.name to easily find unique and targeted domain names for their online presence.

AptDomain tackles one of the most challenging tasks of setting up an online presence:  choosing a desirable domain name that is relevant, linguistically appropriate, and attractive.  Businesses often report that because the best domain names are already taken, the process of finding a usable domain name is difficult and tedious.  

The AptDomain domain suggestion engine takes keywords entered by the user and applies possible grammatical combinations using prefixes and suffixes.  It also searches for synonyms in the multi-lingual dictionary and can transliterate foreign languages into English letters.  AptDomain.com uses multi-lingual resources to determine the most appropriate and attractive domain names.  Users can choose from a resulting list of recommendations or enter new keywords to change the recommendations. If one of the recommendations is suitable, AptDomain makes it simple to purchase through a one-click process.  Domain names ending in .COM cost $6.95 and those ending in .INFO are only $1.98.  Other domain name endings are also available.

Use of the AptDomain domain (http://aptdomain.name) suggestion service is free; it currently supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.

About Monitis

Monitis, Inc. is a one-stop shop for an online presence.  As a leading provider of server, network, and web application monitoring services that help companies execute more effectively, Monitis also offers several hosting packages, free email, SLL, e-commerce as well as uptime, systems health monitoring and SEO services.  Monitis serves more than 23,000 service subscribers and monitors more than 130,000 hosts, performing almost 20 million checks per day.

Monitis Inc., a leading provider of web applications, systems and network monitoring and analytics service, announces an upgrade of its systems monitoring service. The new launch is in line with Monitis strategy to serve as one-stop monitoring destination for IT and business users.

Network, systems and application monitoring are essential utilities to insure high website ROI. While external monitoring measures web user experience, internal monitoring ensures proactive problem fixing for a better end-user experience. Poor web availability may significantly impact web generated profit, company reputation and its operations. Monitoring as a Service offers significant advantages over in-house monitoring software, such as no installations, no license fees, no support personnel, no dedicated servers, access from anywhere, support for distributed infrastructure like regional offices and dispersed data centers.

Internal or systems monitoring is one of Monitis monitoring products for visualizing Windows and Linux (Sun support will be available soon) servers resource utilization and performance metrics, such as CPU and processes. Beside other improvements, the latest release of the Windows agent can run as a Windows service (one of the most demanded feature). Linux agent was also enhanced to collect additional server metrics such as caches and buffered memory metrics. Combined with external performance metrics, systems monitoring captures systems performance bottlenecks, for example how low memory or high CPU utilization affect web site response time. The upgrade of the feature will be done automatically for the existing users.

“Monitis personal dashboard provides performance metrics important both for IT and businesses users”, says Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis CEO and Founder “Different user roles within enterprise will find critical information for better decisions making and improving operations efficiency. It appears to be a unique service mix at the market”

Monitis will have series of new announcements next weeks.

Monitis released series of widgets (we call them mongets) for personal Google or iGoogle. Our users can install them within their Google pages conveniently building tailored performance management desktops. You can find more information in our press release Build Your Performance Management Desktop with Mongets and installations instructions in our Monitis Widgets (Mongets) Page.
