PLAISTOW, NH (December 18, 1995) -- Aurora Software Inc. is shipping Version 2.5 of its flagship product, SarCheck, for the SCO OpenServer Release 5 operating system. SarCheck is a performance management tool designed to assist the system administrator in the analysis of a UNIX system's performance by translating sar reports into plain English. SarCheck identifies performance bottlenecks, recommends parameter and hardware configuration changes, and quantifies the amount of remaining system capacity.

SarCheck is an excellent way for system administrators to save time and learn more about how their systems work, because it explains resource utilization in plain English. SarCheck reports consist of a summary followed by recommendations, resource analysis, and capacity planning sections. New features in this release include an analysis of paging thresholds, quantification of the amount of memory saved or used by any recommendation, improved algorithms for sizing tunable parameters, detection of inefficient path variables, greater control over report verbosity, and more.

SarCheck is one of SCO World Magazine’s “Hot Products of 1996”.

Versions for other UNIX platforms are under development and support for other languages is planned. Contact Aurora Software Inc., PO Box 1033, Plaistow NH 03865. Tel.: (603) 382-4200, fax: (603) 382-4247.
