StreamBase 6.0 Delivers the First Visual Debugging, Profiling, and Testing Tools for CEP


NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire/ --

- Features Represent a Major Milestone in the Maturity of CEP Technology

StreamBase Systems, Inc. today announced the release of StreamBase
version 6.0, the latest version of their award-winning complex event
processing (CEP) software platform. StreamBase(R) version 6.0 is the first
CEP platform to deliver critical features that enables enterprise-class
development, testing, and deployment features. These features further advance
StreamBase's lead as the easiest and most reliable environment to build,
test, debug, profile, and provision CEP applications.

"As the CEP market continues to grow, business analysts and developers
demand more sophisticated tools. StreamBase has always had a singular focus
on ease-of-use for business analysts and IT developers to graphically build,
deploy, and evolve applications. Version 6.0 further deepens this commitment
by not only making StreamBase easier to use, but also by making it easier to
debug, test, and support," said Chris Risley, CEO at StreamBase.

All of these features are fully integrated with the StreamBase's
high-performance CEP platform. Among the new tools in StreamBase 6.0 are:

-- StreamBase Visual Debugger: A first for the CEP industry, the
       StreamBase Visual Debugger allows customers to interactively
       troubleshoot and analyze application logic and data without leaving 
       the Studio authoring environment. Users can set breakpoints and 
       inspect CEP application logic as data streams flow through the system,
       including the ability to examine the complete history of each data 
       item through the application. Visual debugging helps developers and
       business analysts more efficiently find and correct errors in
       enterprise CEP applications.
    -- Enterprise Profiler and Real-Time StreamBase Manager: The Enterprise
       Profiler supports the testing, profiling, and provisioning of software
       and hardware resources associated with a CEP application. Developers
       can run StreamBase applications and view reports to conduct detailed
       analysis of the CPU time and execution time of each operator within a
       StreamBase application. The results can then be used to optimize
       application performance through the use of multi-core CPUs and
       StreamBase's multi-threaded operators. The Enterprise Profiler helps
       StreamBase developers understand and optimize their specific CEP
       application performance.
    -- Unit Testing: StreamBase's Unit Testing allows developers to record
       and store tests simply by recording actions from the StreamBase Studio
       environment. Members of a multi-member development team can work
       together in parallel on applications while QA departments can qualify
       changes using the Unit Testing command line batch interface. The Unit
       Testing feature helps reduce application errors and enables teams to
       more quickly and reliably develop enterprise CEP applications.

Mark Palmer, President and COO at StreamBase, said, "StreamBase 6.0
contains features that are an industry first for CEP with its Visual
Debugger, Enterprise Profiler, and Unit Testing framework. These advances
make StreamBase the easy choice for serious CEP application development."

"Initial successes for complex event processing technology in capital
markets have lead to an interest in expanding the technology across multiple
efforts and development teams," said Adam Honore, Senior Analyst at Aite
Group. "For CEP to become an enterprise-capable technology, tools enabling
sound development methodology are essential for building confidence and
evangelizing potential new users."

StreamBase will be exhibiting StreamBase 6.0 at the SIFMA Technology
Management Conference 2008 in New York, June 10-12, Booth #1800. Launch
partners of StreamBase 6.0 include Thomson Reuters, Vhayu and AMD. StreamBase
will also be exhibiting at the SIFMA Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments
Summit and Exposition in New York on June 16-17, 2008, Booth #7. For
