Oracle Buys Dutch Web-Application VendorOracle has bought Moniforce, a Dutch vendor of Web application performance management software, for an undisclosed sum. More news from IDG CIO - Business Technology Leadership Computerworld - News & Top Stories on Software, Hardware, Windows & VOIP Infoworld - Get Technology Right Network World - Software, Hardware, Electronics & Gadgets The Industry StandardMoniforces WebStress and WebProbe software can be used to measure the performance and availability of Web applications from the users point of view, by monitoring network traffic. It is used by companies such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, or food retailer Ahold. Oracle hopes to use Moniforces software to add evaluation of the users experience to the capabilities of its Enterprise Manager application performance management tools, it said Thursday. Key to this, it said, is a module of Moniforces software called UXinsight, which can detect errors in application logic. Because of the way it works, it can monitor the performance of custom applications based on Oracle or non-Oracle infrastructure, Oracle said, making it of interest to its integration partners. Other companies active in this field include Corvil, Quest Software, OpNet and Hewlett-Packard, which acquired some application performance management products when it bought Mercury Interactive last year. Oracle will retain Moniforces managers and employees, it said. The companies did not publish financial details of the deal. Copyright 2007 IDG News Service. All Rights Reserved.
