PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Active Reasoning, a leading provider of IT Governance Automation solutions, today announced that it has completed high-end multiprocessor optimization for its IT Governance Automation Platform on the IBM AIX operating system. AIX multiprocessor optimization is a continuation of Active Reasoning's ongoing development efforts to offer the industry's most complete and efficient IT Controls Automation platform for IBM technology infrastructures.

In order to meet the challenges for monitoring large, heavily loaded systems, Active Reasoning has optimized both process and file monitoring on the AIX multiprocessor platform. Chuck Price, Active Reasoning's Vice President of Engineering explains, "Our unique approach provides our customers with the maximum ability to observe user events with the minimum burden possible on host system performance."

Active Reasoning is very committed to offering broad and deep integration with IBM technologies so that customers can fully address all policy control and reporting requirements. In addition to AIX, Active Reasoning's extensive IBM monitoring includes the IBM System z and, System i platforms, z/OS and z/Linux operating systems as well as IBM DB2 and WebSphere MQ middleware.

As a member of IBM's PartnerWorld program, Active Reasoning closely monitors technical details and developments and leverages IBM resources to enhance its product and services.
