San Francisco June 21, 2005 -Kinitos, the leader in solutions for fast, secure application delivery and management across distributed networks and the open Internet, today announced that Rexford Management, a division of Marcus Schloss Inc., is using Kinitos Aptitude™ to streamline the deployment and management of its client-based trading applications. With Aptitude, Rexford dynamically updates and manages applications with drag-and-drop ease from a central management console. Aptitude provides immediate peer-to-peer delivery, real-time application monitoring and the flexibility to adapt in minutes.

“Financial markets change constantly,” said Philip Medaglia, CIO of Rexford Management. “To stay out ahead of our competition, we have to make frequent changes to applications, and get those updates out to users immediately. Aptitude is the only product I have found that gives us the central control and agility to get new applications capabilities out to our users as frequently as the business demands. Equally important, Aptitude gives us the ability to monitor applications and roll back immediately to address any problems, which reduces our risk.”

Using Aptitude, Rexford has eliminated the need for end users to get involved in application updates, lowering the overall cost of managing application change. The company can now migrate all users to a new version simultaneously.

Aptitude can manage both existing Windows applications as well as newer .NET applications; companies can begin managing applications with Aptitude in just a few minutes with absolutely no code changes. Aptitude provides insight into application performance and usage through application-specific monitoring for such data as “What systems have received a new update” and “How often are applications being used.” It also alerts operations of unexpected or unhandled application errors.

Aptitude can also be embedded into applications for ISVs that want to add best-in-class management capabilities right in their applications, and for companies that deploy applications to customer and remote sites. Aptitude is integrated with Visual Studio to make embedding a snap. Aptitude is 100% managed code and is fully compliant with Microsoft’s .NET Framework, making it an ideal solution for companies migrating to .NET Framework-based applications.

“Rexford really knows what ‘moving at the speed of business’ means, and Aptitude is helping it do just that” said Steven Woods, president and co-founder of Kinitos. “Aptitude is receiving strong interest in fast-paced industries such as financial services, and widely-distributed industries such as transportation, as well as with ISVs that deploy software at customer sites worldwide and over very large scale environments.”
