PreEmptive's Dotfuscator instruments Azure applications


By David Worthington
August 19, 2009 — 
PreEmptive Solutions has updated its Dotfuscator .NET runtime intelligence product to work with Windows Azure. The company says that runtime intelligence is a useful way to gauge how much a hosted application will cost to run.

On July 14, the update became available for free to customers who have current license agreements. Dotfuscator instruments Azure application assemblies and allows signals to emerge at any endpoint, said Sebastian Holst, chief marketing officer for PreEmptive.

Dotfuscator can protect source code from being reverse-engineered, track application feature use, enable time limits on application use, and detect and defend against tampering. It can also stream alerts and runtime data to Web-based services.

Its feature- and session-tracking capabilities would be most useful to Azure developers, Holst said. "Organizations that are thinking about targeting Azure have a couple of questions front and center. Does it work the way that I expect it to? And how are bandwidth and storage behaving?" he said.

Dotfuscator can provide developers with a sense of requirements and expectation of costs, he added.

Many organizations may not know how their existing applications will behave when they are ported to the cloud, because they don't measure bandwidth internally, Holst said. "If you weren't billed for cell phone minutes, you would just talk."

Developers can use Dotfuscator to draw a comparison between how an application performs on premises to its performance running in the cloud. Dotfuscator has charts, graphs and dashboards to help developers compare common features, Holst said.

The Azure runtime analytics provide developers with a sense of how much refactoring they will have to do, he added.

A non-commercial version called Dotfuscator Community Edition will ship with Visual Studio 2010. PreEmptive has not decided whether it will add Azure instrumentation to that version, Holst said.
