Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) December 24, 2006 -- Active Reasoning, a leading provider of IT Governance Automation solutions, today announced that it has completed high-end multiprocessor optimization for its IT Governance Automation Platform on the IBM AIX operating system.

In order to meet the challenges for monitoring large, heavily loaded systems, Active Reasoning has optimized both process and file monitoring on the AIX multiprocessor platform. Chuck Price, Active Reasoning's Vice President of Engineering, explains, "Our unique approach provides our customers with the maximum ability to observe user events with the minimum burden possible on host system performance."
