The leading provider of application monitoring solutions, AVIcode, Inc., announced today its membership into the Microsoft System Center Alliance. Through collaboration with a broad range of System Center ISV partners and by providing a one-stop shop for information and resources regarding integration with System Center, this partner ecosystem enables Microsoft to provide not only the best management platform, but also the best-managed one in the industry.

In order to reduce costs, enhance service delivery and improve application availability, Microsoft Systems Center solutions, used by Fortune 500 companies worldwide, enable IT professionals to manage and automate operations. By helping them integrate and develop on both the Windows platform and System Center, the Microsoft System Center Alliance supports its partners. The System Center Alliance program provides regular communications regarding technologies, products and programs, key events, as well as a forum for resources and information on System Center solutions.

To give developers additional insight into problems with security, application connectivity, availability and performance, AVIcode is focused on developing real-time application monitoring solutions. Microsoft, through an exclusive development and licensing agreement, uses AVIcode technology for its ASP.NET 2.0 Management Pack that is directly integrated in System Center Operations Manager 2007. The Microsoft System Center Alliance provides another platform to gain additional information about AVIcode solutions, including its recently announced AVIcode BizTalk 2006 Application Management Pack which enables monitoring of the condition and availability of Microsoft® BizTalk 2006 applications and the ability to correlate application health with key performance data for BizTalk Server, all within Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007.
