Compuware Licenses WildPackets' Packet Interchange Technology For Ecosystems Toolset

ProConvert™ Enhances Application Vantage and Application Expert Products

Walnut Creek, California - September 11, 2001

WildPackets Inc., developers of EtherPeek, AiroPeek and other popular network analysis and management tools, announced that they have entered into an agreement to license their ProConvert analysis interchange technology to Compuware Corporation. ProConvert will be used in Compuware's EcoSYSTEMS Application Performance Management Toolset, including Application Expert and Application Vantage, the leading products for production troubleshooting and application profiling.

ProConvert was designed to promote analysis interchange, and is unique in its ability to convert packet traces from over 20 different protocol analyzers. Compuware recognized the value of enhancing and differentiating the EcoSYSTEMS Toolset by adding the ability to read and analyze data in multiple formats from a broad spectrum of analyzers.

"By licensing WildPackets' technology, Compuware's ability to identify application problems on networks is strengthened," says John Seal, Product Manager for Compuware's Network Planning Products. "ProConvert will enable EcoSYSTEMS products to directly import trace files on UNIX systems without first performing an external conversion."

"ProConvert is the only product of its kind on the market today, states Scott Haugdahl, WildPackets' Vice President of Analysis Technology. "We're pleased that Compuware has chosen to incorporate our utility in their application management software. The addition will allow them to differentiate and broaden the reach of their EcoSYSTEMS product line."
