Fact Sheet

Company Overview

BEZ Systems is a Boston-based software company that offers innovative Predictive Analytic solutions that provide a line-of-business view of application resource utilization. This unique perspective allows IT staff and management to accurately profile application performance, compare change and growth alternatives, forecast results to set expectations and verify actual performance results versus predictions. BEZ predictive analytics help ensure that performance goals and service level objectives can be met by highlighting the precise software and hardware resources required for today and tomorrow.

Products

BEZVision™ is an automated management solution enabling IT Managers, and other IT professionals to deliver high performing, uninterrupted application and database services to the business at the lowest cost. It does this by analyzing, notifying and predicting key indicators of resource consumption, performance and throughput by individual workload. BEZVision was specifically designed to deliver much needed predictive analysis and expert advice to you with minimal intervention.

BEZVision automatically profiles complex application and database processing by workloads to understand data usage, resource consumption and throughput. BEZVision notifies you of current performance issues and provides a guided process to help identify, analyze and quickly resolve service-level issues. These profiles can then be directly input to BEZVision’s predictive analytics engine to understand how different changes will accommodate improved service delivery. BEZVision arms you with the information needed to steer the direction of your efforts through powerful “what if” capabilities for near term performance improvements and longer term infrastructure changes.

BEZVision is composed of five main integrated components: Workloads Over Time, Problem Isolation, Change Impact Analysis, Activity Profiling and Performance Planning

Based on its core predictive analytics technology, BEZVision combines performance management and capacity planning as core disciplines supporting the need to understand current and future data service delivery expectations for key lines-of-business. The BEZVision predictive analytics engine provides powerful capabilities that look ahead to identify performance bottlenecks or service delivery breaches on the horizon. This information provides users with enough time to properly plan and compare alternatives to find the most cost-effective remedy, whether it be implementing simple tuning recommendations or a major infrastructure upgrade.

Market Opportunity

While traditional Application Performance Management (APM) software addresses the critical need to immediately improve the performance of applications and databases, it was designed to address near-term concerns—not to forecast performance into the future. BEZ adds value to APM software implementations by offering predictive analytic solutions that allow IT staff and management to forecast evolving requirements for line-of-business applications and more effectively plan for future demands.

Without the proper predictive analytic tools to assess the performance of evolving applications delivered on a constantly changing infrastructure, organizations today are often forced to over-provision to ensure compliance with performance objectives. Over-provisioning inflates costs, and under-provisioning risks productivity and business growth. BEZ predictive analytic solutions allow you to develop realistic budgets based on factual information to help drive down the cost of owning and operating IT assets while ensuring compliance with the performance requirements of business applications.
