TeamQuest Extends Lead in Dynamic Cloud and Virtualized Capacity Management with Acquisition of Performance Surveyor

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa, November 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Delivering an IT Service Optimization solution that is as automated, flexible and scalable as the environments it is designed to optimize

TeamQuest Corporation announced the acquisition of Performance Surveyor from Solution Labs, a Canadian capacity management company.  Performance Surveyor strengthens the unique TeamQuest automated analytics and capacity management offerings that are so critical to the success of physical, virtual and cloud IT environments.

"Virtualization is a main technology underpinning cloud computing - and capacity management is a key pre-requisite to successful virtualization," said TeamQuest Product Manager Scott Adams. "If capacity is not effectively managed in these environments, you'll have service disruptions, or waste the efficiency and cost savings that prompted these virtualization and cloud computing projects in the first place.

"TeamQuest Performance Software combined with Performance Surveyor uniquely delivers flexible and adaptable service-centric capacity management without the requirement for expensive and time consuming consulting services that delay adoption strategies," said Adams.

The union of TeamQuest and Performance Surveyor products uniquely delivers:

• Powerful analytics, including fast and accurate predictive capabilities with an easy to use analytic queuing network solver
• Cloud scalability, proven by installations at Fortune 100 companies optimizing capacity in highly dynamic service oriented environments of over 40,000 physical and virtual systems
• Extremely fast ROI, installing in minutes, delivering out-of-the box intelligence, and integrating with the performance and capacity tools and data you already have
• True service perspective, by crossing technology silos with the industry's first distributed, federated CMIS - integrating data spanning all technologies, as well as business, service and financial sources, without requiring data replication into yet another data store
• Cost-effective flexibility, through customized analysis, reporting and drag-and-drop metric integration - no lengthy and expensive consulting services required
• Single integrated solution, gathering, storing and managing performance data in ways that simultaneously enable wide-ranging enterprise reporting analysis and drill-down to the details you need to solve real problems

"Delivering on the full promise of service-centric virtualization and cloud computing means you must implement, manage and optimize in a way that's adaptable and flexible to precisely meet your requirements," said TeamQuest President, Jerred Ruble. "Customers world-wide have realized the benefits of Performance Surveyor in environments with more than 40,000 servers, tens of thousands of virtual servers, and hundreds of thousands of network elements."
