Tango/04 Monitoring Solutions

Tango/04 Computing Group, a developer of software for systems management, security auditing, and business service management reports that in 2007 it added more than 100 customers, and its international sales grew more than 30 percent. Like me, you're probably wondering why Tango/04 had such a good year when 2007 was generally a bad year for System i revenues. I posed the question to Tango/04 CEO and founder Raul Cristian Aguirre, and he replied, "Existing System i customers have a growing necessity to monitor their applications and to comply with security laws and regulations. So we are effectively growing our market share. What is really happening is that people have to deal with more and more complexity as their System i is just a part of a large chain of infrastructure."

Expanding on what's behind Tango/04's 2007 growth, and whether it was driven by System i product sales or by product sales for other platforms, Aguirre says that 90 percent of their sales are to companies running System i applications, "We are obviously selling a mix, with products to monitor Security and IT infrastructure on platforms other than the System i, but they are mostly part of a System i sale. But by choosing us, companies can have just one solution to monitor all their operations, security, and business services in realtime." Tango/04 offers realtime enterprise monitoring and develops software solutions for application monitoring, security and compliance monitoring, and management of business services and service level objectives. The company's solutions can monitor System i, Windows, Linux, and Unix platforms.
