Customer quotes

"We had a 61 percent improvement overall and met or exceeded all of our SLAs. We wouldn't have come anywhere near the success we had without Strobe. From my perspective, it's an indispensable tool to have."

—Gary Stroick
Director of Information Services
Best Buy

"The key here was pinpointing the actual statement causing excessive CPU usage. That's not something that our current system monitor can do. Our current monitor basically reflects response time, alerting us when the system runs slow and when we're not meeting service levels. Strobe actually tells us how the resources are used and what resources are used."

—Joe Reimann
IT Project Coordinator
Comerica

"With Strobe we could very quickly highlight inefficiencies and pinpoint statements requiring attention."

—Sue Findlay
Project Team Leader
Performance and Information Function
Safeway

"Using Strobe, we have realized significant CPU resource savings-in some instances, up to 90 percent. It's also had a positive impact on our production processes and customer satisfaction."

—Mirco Lana
Service Center Central Systems
Winterthur Assicurazioni

"With Strobe, we significantly reduced CPU consumption and sped up the batch session from 10 to six hours."

—Giorgio Vivori
Total Quality Manager
Banca Popolare di Milano

"Strobe helped the bank identify a more efficient way to timestamp data records in their IMS/DC and COBOL-based Automated Interbank Funds Transfer System."

"The changes National Australia Bank implemented reduced CPU consumption in our online regions by 96%. As a result, the number of MIPS used by the application during peak processing periods was reduced from nearly 74 to less than one. This enabled the bank to process its annual holiday transaction peak workload with existing capacity and allowed us to postpone our next CPU upgrade by nine months."

—Peter Donnan
National Australia Bank
