ISLANDIA, N.Y., October 24, 2006 – CA (NYSE: CA) today announced the availability of Wily Introscope for Microsoft .NET, which provides customers with a single solution for comprehensive J2EE and .NET application performance management in today’s complex enterprise and SOA environments. Complementing Wily’s industry-leading solution for J2EE applications, Wily Introscope for Microsoft .NET allows IT staff to monitor mission-critical .NET Framework-based applications and components continuously in production environments to detect and eliminate problems in real time before they affect end-users and to ensure optimal application performance.

By extending monitoring capabilities to Microsoft .NET Framework-based applications, Wily enables IT staff to fully manage heterogeneous computing environments and improve the predictability and profitability of business-critical enterprise applications through a single management solution.

Wily Introscope for Microsoft .NET automatically identifies transaction paths, isolates performance bottlenecks and alerts IT staff to any issues with .NET Framework-based applications. The solution also automatically instruments custom .NET Framework-based applications without any coding or development effort.

Built on the same technology foundation as Introscope for Java applications, Wily Introscope for Microsoft .NET allows organizations to integrate the monitoring of both J2EE and .NET environments and correlate the performance between .NET and J2EE applications, giving IT staff a single, comprehensive view of application performance across the enterprise.
