Absolute Performance Inc.
Absolute Performance Inc. provides solutions to maintain the high availability of complex computer systems. Peter Jones wrote their advanced monitoring agent while acting as their Director of Product Engineering.
The agent, written in modern style C++, is a high performance, cross-platform application. It is implemented using the "everything as a library" design philosophy, and makes heavy use of open source software, including the famous Boost Libraries.
Using a custom built configuration and analysis language, the monitoring agent can monitor performance and availability data for virtually any software application or operating system parameter. New applications can easily be added to the monitoring scheme using a web-based configuration GUI, and secure automatic configuration updates to the agents.
The Absolute Performance monitoring agent is used world-wide by Fortune 500 companies and federal governments.
