From the press release:

April 22, 2008, TNT Software, Inc., Vancouver, WA ‐ TNT Software announced today they will soon be releasing the newest version of their award winning server monitoring and event log management products. To support the release of Windows Server 2008, TNT Software has announced an interim release, ELM 5.5, will be available coming mid‐year. "We typically release full versions with additional functionality and enhancements on a longer schedule. However with the release of the new OS and the growing adoption, we've decided to provide an early release in order to fully support our clients on the Windows 2008 platform," said Brent Skadsen, VP of Sales & Marketing.

ELM Version 5.5 will include the following improvements and new features:

• Windows Server 2008 and Vista Ultimate Ready ‐ ELM 5.5 will be ready to support users through all their operating system upgrades. All four (4) ELM 5.5 products can be installed on, and monitor, Windows Server 2008 Standard and Enterprise Editions, as well as Windows Vista Ultimate.
• Disaster Recovery Support ‐ ELM 5.5 Standby Server Licenses will now be available to support comprehensive Disaster Recovery Programs. Under this new license, Service Agents will failover to a Standby ELM Server when the Home server is unavailable. Once the Home server is back on‐line, the Agents will automatically failback. When failures happen, ELM 5.5 provides continuity of service.
• 64‐bit Application Performance Monitoring ‐ With the ELM 5.5 Server installed on a Windows Server 2008 64‐bit system, installed Service and remote Virtual Agents will collect, aggregate and trend any published counters from 32‐bit and 64‐bit applications.
• Reduce Event "Noise" ‐ Windows event logs are becoming increasingly noisy. Important Critical and Error events are often diluted in a flood of insignificant events. Instead of complex, operator based filters; ELM 5.5 provides an easy to use method to combine simple event filters. These filters can be used to create reports and launch alerts under very specific conditions. Equally important, these filter combinations can be used to prevent unwanted events from consuming network and database resources.
• Enhanced Scalability and Performance ‐ Responding to the increasing volume of events being generated in today's environments, ELM 5.5 upgrades the data collection strategy to get more events from more systems with the same resources. The central ELM 5.5 Server is faster, the installed Agent footprint is smaller, and the management console is more responsive. The powerful new ELM 5.5 will efficiently support the most demanding networks.
• Event Search ‐ This new reporting tool provides a search feature using detailed event criteria to create informative reports from the management console.

This new version of ELM delivers excellent performance and scalability improvements, innovative reporting and analysis tools, and new OS support. "We're very excited to launch this mid‐year release," commented Skadsen, "we know our current users will appreciate the product upgrades and IT managers searching for cost reduction tools, ways to fortify their security policies and enhance availability will have even stronger reasons to consider ELM."
