ATLANTA -- June 19, 2001 -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today introduced at Microsoft Tech*Ed 2001 (Booth #440-442) application performance management products for a wide range of .NET applications residing on Windows 2000, Exchange 2000 and SQL Server 2000.

Compuware's EcoSYSTEMS suite offers IT professionals the ability to manage the entire spectrum of the application life cycle, from analyzing applications in preproduction to helping prevent complete network failures with predictive analysis.

"Compuware's strategy of providing end-to-end performance management with EcoSYSTEMS delivers value to the market from a strong name in the software business. The ability to leverage an integrated solution providing comprehensive application management from preproduction to capacity planning is exactly what the market needs to overcome the obstacles imposed by point solutions and complex frameworks.

EcoTOOLS 7.3 Unique Failover Capability

The failover feature of EcoTOOLS 7.3 enables .NET users to continue to get critical notification alerts even if the primary management server is not available. During a server failure, the EcoTOOLS' intelligent agents continue to collect data so no information is lost and costly application downtime is reduced. EcoTOOLS is specifically designed and unique in its ability to provide .NET performance failover notification and data collection.

"EcoTOOLS unique ability to provide failover support provides confidence to .NET administrators that their production monitoring and troubleshooting solution is reliable and always working," said Jay Richards, EcoTOOLS Product Manager, Compuware.

These reports can consolidate multiple performance statistics on one server or multiple servers, giving administrators and managers the critical information they need. .NET administrators can also produce troubleshooting reports or trending reports containing weeks or months of data.

EcoSYSTEMS provides a comprehensive view of the application performance environment by including statistics from Compuware's end-user experience tool, Interval Pro; server monitoring tool, EcoTOOLS and network performance tool, EcoSCOPE. This view helps to quickly identify problem areas for .NET administrators.
