SolarWinds, IT management software provider, today released SolarWinds Synthetic End User Monitor (SeUM) version 1.5.  SeUM allows system administrators and application support staff to monitor response time proactively for multi-step web transactions. The latest version of SeUM introduces the Cloud Player Portal that allows users to deploy transaction players easily to Amazon EC2. This enables monitoring from various cloud-based locations without the necessity of paying the expensive subscriptions required by other vendors for their SaaS offerings.

New Features in v. 1.5

• Cloud Player Portal: Easily deploys transaction players to Amazon EC2 to enable web transaction monitoring from cloud-based locations and does not require users to pay subscription fees
• Multi-Tenant UI: Monitors website and web application performance for large deployments or in MSP environments
• Rich Content Recording and Playback: Record and playback dynamic web pages to include support for Flashand Silverlight; also validates the existence or absence of text and other website content
• Firewall-Friendly Communication: Transaction players make their monitoring data available for polling from the SeUM server, eliminating any need to open in-bound Firewall connections
