The fourth early access build of JXInsight 5.7 “Excel” has been made available to our technology partners.
This release introduces a new and important concept, Charge, to our Probes Open API, that provides a resource metering cost breakdown analysis of non-inherent metering for a charged probe by charging probes fired and metered.
A detailed introduction to Charges will be posted shortly on our http://xpe.jinspired.com site.
We have just announced XPE our extensible software performance engineering process spanning the complete application life cycle that introduces a qualitative and quantitative method for software performance design and application performance management along with a service delivery framework that provides guidance in how to effectively combine and integrate people and products into the software performance engineering process.

With XPE we are offering customers a complete and comprehensive software performance engineering and application performance management solution that includes mentoring, training, benchmarking, support and consultancy. A solution that effectively combines and integrates people and products within a standard process that ensures measurable success across the service delivery chain.
XPE recognizes that the key to success lies not just in proven technical innovation and software quality excellence but in the ongoing education and support of customers in the application of both product and process to real-world problems.
People + Process + Products = XPE
The XPE name also reflects our vision of delivering an extensible performance engineering product that scales and performs in the most extreme production environments and is framed within an overall process and supported by a concrete software performance model.
To-date we have shown our core product technologies out-perform and out-scale offerings from all major JVM vendors by a significant margin - our technology is 20-100 times faster and more scalable. In the future we expect to extend this technical lead even further delivering enhancements 100% focused on production environments hosting grid-, cloud-, and event- based computing runtimes.
Performance + Proven + Production = JXInsight
In the last week we have made significant changes to our website in preparation for this announcement today. We have focused on clarifying and simplifying our solution and product messaging. We have also migrated our documentation (including 250+ previous blog entries) to our http://xpe.jinspired.com website which will serve our XPE customers.
We believe that without a standard process like XPE customers are unlikely to achieved the significant benefits possible with our advanced technology. In this context offering a free development edition of our software products serves no purpose and unfortunately based on our experience lately is likely to delay the adoption of a process that product was actually designed to support. With the upcoming release of JXInsight we will be offering a free console-only edition for read-only access of snapshots generated by licensed server editions.
