VITALSIGNS Software is this week announcing VitalSuite, phase three of its Windows-based software for measuring networked applications performance.
VitalSigns is the only company currently admitting it was founded on an idea in one of my columns. So I like writing about them, and this is the third time.
VitalSigns was founded a week after I whined about the Internet bogging down in yet another of my columns. On Aug. 5, 1996, I argued that we badly need performancemeasurement tools - you can't manage what you can't measure. And I argued that the best measurement tools will gather measurements in real time as we sit at our browsers deciding whether to hit the Stop button. VitalSigns' first product, Net.Medic, does just that.
Officials at VitalSigns say that Net.Medic was a big success after I wrote about it here on April 14,1997. They say by the end of 1998 there will be 10 million VitalSigns' clients in use, including Net.Medic and their new VitalAgent enterprise client. You can still download a free trial of Net.Medic from http:// www.vitalsigns.com...
