Security Service Federal Credit Union selects BlueStripe’s Performance Center for System Center
Monitoring and Management for High-Value Customer Applications
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC (March 3, 2014) — BlueStripe Software announced today that Security Service Federal Credit Union has selected BlueStripe’s Performance Center for System Center to manage the performance and availability of their online loan application and approval applications. Performance Center will be integrated with Security Service’s implementation of Microsoft System Center to provide live application mapping, monitoring, triage, and remediation capabilities.
SSFCU manages more than $8 billion in assets and has locations in Texas, Colorado, and Utah. The credit union offers several online services to its customers, including online savings and checking, loan applications, and an extensive selection of other financial management capabilities. Security Service uses Microsoft System Center as their primary infrastructure management platform, and they needed to expand System Center to monitor and manage the delivery of application services.
“Security Service Federal Credit Union is dedicated to providing our members with enhanced capabilities and convenience through its online channel,” said John McFall, SVP Network Services at Security Service. “BlueStripe’s Performance Center helps further that goal.”
The BlueStripe Performance Center for System Center combines BlueStripe’s FactFinder software’s ability to automatically discover, map, and monitor complex distributed applications with Microsoft System Center’s infrastructure management capabilities. The combined solution provides a single view for managing application availability and performance.
“We are very happy to have Service Security Federal Credit Union as a customer,” said Chris Neal, co-founder and CEO of BlueStripe Software. “Security Service is the latest of a long list of companies who are seeing the benefits of combining BlueStripe’s application visibility and performance monitoring with System Center’s infrastructure management capabilities.”
FactFinder automatically discovers, maps, and monitors all business transactions running within the data center and across the Cloud. FactFinder measures performance, hop-by-hop, everywhere that transactions go, across tiers, across platforms, and across architectures – even into virtual machines, public, private, and hybrid cloud, as well as third party services. When performance or availability problems occur, FactFinder follows the slow or hung transaction right to the problem component, and then drills down the server stack to determine why the problem occurred. The BlueStripe Performance Center brings FactFinder’s capabilities seamlessly into Microsoft System Center and Windows Azure Pack.
