Halcyon Announces New Release of Snapshot TSC, a Specialist Performance Tool For IBM i

PETERBOROUGH, England, May 31, 2011 -

Halcyon Software Inc (halcyonsoftware.com/), a world leading
provider of systems management solutions, today announced a major release of
Snapshot TSC (Total Systems Control), (
www.halcyonsoftware.com/products/snapshot/index.html) a specialist
performance and capacity planning utility for the IBM i platform. The
software notifies IT administrators of any performance problems or
application issues that could adversely affect the performance of IBM i
servers and seriously impact critical business operations.

Snapshot TSC v11.0 is the third release of the product under the new
ownership of Halcyon Software. The software was acquired from Mid-Comp
International Pty Ltd in May 2010.

Halcyon specialises in multi-platform systems management solutions which
support IBM i, AIX, Windows, and Linux platforms.

Snapshot TSC v11.0 has a number of key enhancements which include
modernising the graphical user interface (GUI) to provide Windows theming to
toolbars and icons, a significant improvement in the speed of the application
as well as an update to the capacity planning simulator to include the latest
editions of the Power Systems technology released by IBM.

Donnie MacColl, Director of Technical Services at Halcyon, said "The GUI
refresh times are a lot quicker, the performance enhancements ensure the
whole product runs much quicker under the covers, and the code has been
improved making it far more efficient. As a result the product will be easier
to maintain and it will be quicker to add new features in the future."

Some minor bug fixes from previously reported issues have also been
solved and standardised. A menu option has been added so that when the IBM i
system is restarted, Snapshot is automatically restarted at the same time to
ensure the IBM Collection Tools are synchronized at all times with the
Snapshot utility.

MacColl continues, "The main objective of this major release is to update
and modernise the solution but without alienating the loyal following of
Snapshot customers. We are committed to enhancing and maintaining the product
and another major release is planned within the next six months."

The Snapshot customer base has an international spread and is supported
in EMEA, US and Asia Pac by authorized resellers and partners.

Halcyon is interested in hearing suggestions from all Snapshot TSC
customers and resellers on what they would like to see added to the software
so these items can be included in the development roadmap.

Customers can email snapshotsupport@halcyonsoftware.com with their ideas
for future enhancements or visit www.halcyonsoftware.com/snapshot for more
