Compuware Vantage and Gomez Help NHL.com Deliver Peak Application Performance to Millions of Hockey Fans Worldwide

Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR) today announced that the National Hockey League(R) (NHL) will discuss how Compuware's end-to-end application performance management is helping to deliver peak application performance to millions of NHL(R) hockey fans worldwide. The presentation will take place at the Gartner Data Center Conference in Las Vegas on December 2, 2009, at 1:45 p.m PT. The session, titled: "Learn How NHL.com Delivers Peak Performance for Hockey Fans," will highlight how the NHL achieves outstanding performance of critical applications across the Enterprise and Internet using Compuware Vantage and Gomez solutions.

Each month, the NHL averages more than 10 million unique visitors to NHL.com and more than 18 million visitors to the NHL.com Network, which includes Club sites. Monitoring the response time of the online fan experience plays a critical role in preventing performance problems from happening. Peter DelGiacco, NHL Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, will discuss best practices to manage and achieve application performance, as well as the benefits of having a true end-to-end application performance management solution that spans the Enterprise and the Internet with Compuware Vantage and Gomez.

"NHL fans expect peak performance, whether on the ice or at NHL.com, so we want to make sure their online experience is flawless and problem-free," said DelGiacco. "Together, Compuware Vantage and Gomez give my IT team insight into fans' online experience and provide a unified view of application performance across the Enterprise and Internet. I look forward to sharing this story with my peers at the Gartner Data Center Conference."
