Cloud-based MySQL Database Monitoring from Monitis

by admin ·


San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Monitis, the leading cloud and web application monitoring software provider, today announces that it has added comprehensive MySQL database monitoring to its award-winning Application Performance Management & Monitoring platform. The robust Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tool enables users to gain significantly faster insight when conducting root cause analysis.

The MySQL monitoring feature includes 246 monitoring variables and more than 21 different metrics to provide one of the easiest to use, yet comprehensive database monitoring tools available. It was first introduced into the free Monitor.Us platform back in June last year and has seen the code battle hardened by many hundred free users over the last 8 months.

Hovhannes Avoyan, founder and General Manager at Monitis commented This feature makes it easy for systems administrators and web developers to measure and monitor the performance of their php environments such as Joomla and WordPress, from multiple locations around the world. It gives them a true picture of application performance from where ever in the world the user is. Because the Monitis MySQL monitor is part of the Monitis platform it provides an unprecedented holistic view of software, database and underlying hardware, giving pressured techs the ability to quickly and easily diagnose the root cause of slow application performance.

The service uses a small Linux agent that can monitor inside an organizations firewall and distributed systems. The Monitis agent connects to a local or remote database and collects a variety of health and performance metrics that are graphically displayed in real-time on a web-based dashboard. Users can also set up notifications (should their database go down or pass a certain level of access volume) based on client-defined thresholds and rules.

Some metrics tracked and reported on by Monitis which can be set up in minutes include:


????Database size
????Resource utilization
????Analysis of responsiveness/latency
????Analysis of throughput
????Database usage
????Scalability

Monitis SaaS delivery and pay as you go pricing mean its easy to get going and has low set up and running costs. It puts the power of MySQL monitoring in the reach of techs who otherwise wouldnt have had the time to set up or budget to afford such a comprehensive solution. adds Avoyan

Monitis MySQL Monitoring provides much greater check-in frequency, as low as every 5 minutes, and the ability to check the performance of the database from multiple locations around the world.

About Monitis

Monitis is the leading provider of Cloud-based Application Performance Management & Monitoring solutions for System Admins and Web Developers. Over 80,000 users worldwide have chosen Monitis to increase uptime and user experience of their services and products.

FJR Advisors, Inc. Announces Addition to Live Sales Training Programs

by admin ·

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) February 11, 2012

Sales training company FJR Advisors, Inc. announced today that it will include training on how to make cold calls effectively using social media, in addition to its long-standing programs on how to prospect without cold calling.

Founded in 2003, FJR Advisors, Inc. (formerly known as FJR Advisors, LLC) is a sales training firm that specializes in sales prospecting. The company began with an online sales training course in 2003, and quickly expanded into live training after its founder, Frank Rumbauskas, became a New York Times best-selling author immediately after launching his first book, “Never Cold Call Again.”

FJR Advisors, Inc. has trained over 50,000 salespeople and small business owners worldwide, through its online programs as well as live training to sales organizations.

The decision to add effective cold call training to its programs is, according to Rumbauskas, not an admission that cold calling works – he still insists that it’s the worst option for sales prospecting – but in response to popular demand, and because of the evolution of social media.

“Traditional cold calling – dialing the phone and knocking on doors at random – is a bigger waste of time than ever thanks to the Internet. However, that same Internet has given us a very powerful set of sales prospecting tools in the form of sites like LinkedIn and Facebook.”

FJR Advisors, Inc. will focus on how to use social media profiles to first research targeted prospects, and then to connect with them and build a relationship without the barriers, frustrations, and annoyances of cold calling.

As Rumbauskas explains, “Business owners like myself absolutely do not accept cold calls. In fact, the University of North Carolina even conducted a study on the topic, and found that over 80% of business owners and executives absolutely, positively will not buy as the result of a cold call. As a result, new strategies are needed to reach these high-level decision makers.”

FJR Advisors, Inc. will begin this new training module immediately in its corporate training programs. No public seminars are currently scheduled.

FJR Advisors, Inc., in business for 9 years, develops and delivers highly targeted training on sales prospecting, with a specific focus on how to generate highly qualified leads without cold calling and without relying on a referral network. Its founder, Frank Rumbauskas, is a New York Times best-selling author, has won the Reader’s Choice Award for Business Book of the Year from 800-CEO-READ, and was named one of Fast Company’s Top 30 Most Influential People Online.

US Dept. of Agriculture New Hardiness Zones Show Impact of Global Warming

by admin ·


Reston, VA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Gardeners who have noticed some unusual goings-on in their yards had their suspicions confirmed this week when the US Dept. of Agriculture released its new map of plant hardiness zones. The map confirms what many gardeners have already figured out about global warming and the impact it is having on plants. Hardiness zones, based on minimum winter temperatures, are marching northward. This means that plants that wouldnt have survived through winter in some regions just 20 years ago are now making it.

Comparing the new 2012 map to the last map published in 1990 shows some significant shifts, especially across the Great Plains. Though the USDA cautions that not all the changes to the map can be attributed to climate change, it is clear that the major shifts are related to warmer temperatures. For example, Iowa and Nebraska used to straddle Zones 4 and 5, but now fall almost entirely within the warmer Zone 5.

Most areas in the continental US have warmed by 1-2 degrees F during the last 50 years. This warming has brought shorter and less severe winters. In fact the country has seen many fewer record lows each winter.

Changes in climate due to carbon pollution will create some enormous new challenges for gardeners, said Patti Glick, Senior Climate Change Specialist with the National Wildlife Federation… Global warming is changing the relationship between our garden plants and the climatic variables they face.

While some gardeners may welcome the opportunity to experiment with new plants, these shifting zones caused by climate change can be problematic. The country is seeing more weather and climate extremes that can be quite challenging for plants. Summertime heat and humidity have been increasing. Droughts are becoming more severe leaving plants more susceptible to disease. Heavy rainfall events are getting even heavier, increasing the likelihood of devastating floods. Gardners may be able to grow some new plants given the warmer winter temperatures, but some old favorites may have a harder time as summer temperatures increase and precipitation patterns change.

Shifting plant hardiness zones also opens the door for harmful invasive species, pests and diseases. Unfortunately, research is showing that climate change favors the spread of these less desirable species. Gardeners in the Midwest and Northeast will not be happy to hear that the northernmost range of kudzu- the plant that ate the South has already moved northward, with sightings from Southeastern Nebraska to Western Pennsylvania. This latitudinal shift has been attributed to increases in winter temperatures. Other plants moving into new areas include garlic mustard, purple loosestrife and Japanese honeysuckle, none of which are a gardeners friend.

Pests that used to be kept in check by hard winter freezes are also expanding their range northward. For example, the range of the red imported fire ant in the US has historically been limited by cold temperatures and winterkill. Now scientists project that the fire ant range could expand northward by about 80 miles and grow in total area by 21 percent as climate change makes new areas suitable for their survival. Anyone who has encountered fire ants in their garden can tell of the painful consequences! Global warming is also welcoming unwanted pests like the black vine weevil, gypsy moth, bagworm and the mountain pine beetle.

Gardeners Can Help Tackle Global Warming

As guardians and stewards of our environment, gardeners can take many simple and thoughtful steps to work with nature to solve the challenges posed by global warming. NWFs The Gardeners Guide to Global Warming: Challenges and Solutions, authored by NWFs Senior Climate Change Specialist Patti Glick, provides many excellent recommendations, including:


????Reduce the use of gasoline-powered yard tools that put carbon pollution, the root cause of global warming, into the atmosphere.
????Remove invasive plants from the garden and choose an array of native alternatives.
????Reduce water consumption, which will improve the resiliency of your garden during droughts and heat waves, reduce energy consumed to transport water; and reduce runoff of fertilizer into waterways.
????Plant lots of native trees and native grasses to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and serve as long-term carbon storage.

Media Contact: Mary Burnette, Burnette(at)nwf(dot)org, 703-438-6097 to interview Patti Glick about the new hardiness zones and consequences for gardeners contact Mary.

Total Car Score Editor In Chief: New In-Car Technology Sets Up Showdown with Regulators

by admin ·


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Easily the most important trend for the auto industry at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show was the increasing role of advanced in-car technology. However, Total Car Score Editor in Chief Karl Brauer feels the more compelling story is the potential clash between market forces rising to meet the demand of tech-hungry buyers and government safety regulators looking to inhibit the availability of these new tools.

More and more people want to stay connected with the web and with social media when in their cars, and car companies are responding by providing ever-more capable and elaborate in-car technology interfaces. Some of these, however, may run afoul of developing federal legislation that could ban in-car mobile phone use, as well any access to social media apps and other information feeds.

Youve got car companies and suppliers investing a lot of money in developing these systems, so they wouldn’t want to see all that investment suddenly outlawed, said Brauer. And you have consumers demanding these systems, so the average person isn’t going to want to see their budding in-car technology suddenly disappear. When there are market incentives to produce ground-breaking tech, and the government is intent on limiting that tech for safety reasons, there is going to be an inevitable clash between these two forces.

Some of the notable auto innovations at CES:

????? Cadillac exhibited its new multi-touchscreen entertainment system, which will imitate the user-experience of a smartphone, as well as a customizable dashboard interface.

????? Voice-activation, particularly for navigation, aims to keep drivers’ eyes on the road instead of the touchscreen.

????? The ability to charge mobile devices through a wireless connection within the cabin, removing the need for power cords.

????? Audi debuted a user-swipable dual heads-up display, which can show an augmented-reality view of the cars environment.

Brauer pointed out that these leaps in technology provide another sign of the North American auto industrys resurgence. He said, That auto companies are so willing to invest so much money and so many resources into development is an encouraging sign for the future of the industry.

About Total Car Score

Total Car Score is an automotive comparison site that will launch in the first quarter of 2012. Total Car Score will provide original content, reviews and insights from CEO and Editor in Chief Karl Brauer and his editorial team. Prior to founding TotalCarScore, Brauer served as Editor in Chief at Edmunds.com.
