(September 9, 2003) - MQSoftware, Inc., is releasing a new version of its Q Pasa! middleware management and monitoring solution this month. Version 3.1 adds a Web-enabled management console that will facilitate anytime, anywhere authorized access to real-time data through its unique business dashboard. The Q Pasa! Business Dashboard gives a meaningful, consolidated view of what is happening in the middleware environment in real-time, helping enterprises proactively manage technology and associated resources.

With Q Pasa! Version 3.1, MQSoftware has raised the bar on its ability to monitor very large enterprise implementations with demonstrable real-world scalability. MQSoftware recently deployed Q Pasa! at one of the world’s largest WebSphere MQ sites in a simulated pre-production roll-out. The Q Pasa! simulation included over 5000 WebSphere MQ queue managers reporting to a single Q Pasa! server running on AIX. The customer was able to monitor, manage and provide alerts on over 250,000 properties in their MQ infrastructure, enabling them to monitor and manage over 5000 distinct sites from a single server. The roll-out also included real-time traffic from their z/OS mainframe, Linux, AIX, and Windows agents where all these updates were captured historically in a DB2 7.2 instance running on AIX hardware and sustaining 5000 database inserts a second.
