Blue Box Group, a leader in Rails hosting and web management services, and New Relic, the leading provider of Ruby on Rails application performance management solutions, today announced the integration of New Relic’s RPM™ Rails application performance management software with Box Panel, the management console for Blue Box customers. Blue Box customers can set up a free RPM Lite account and immediately begin to monitor their Rails applications running on the Blue Box service.

"We really like what the folks over at New Relic have to offer which is why we’ve integrated New Relic’s monitoring into our Box Panel user interface," said Jesse Proudman, Blue Box CEO. "This integration and partnership gives our customers fast and easy access to the leading tool for Rails application performance. New Relic shares the same values as Blue Box. We both want to create a highly valuable, but affordable service and give our customers great support."

"At Aurora Feint, we use both Blue Box and New Relic RPM to provide high performance and availability for our award winning products," said Jason Citron, Aurora Feint Co-Founder. "Both companies are focused on Rails and their expertise and support have enabled us to create OpenFeint, the first Social Gaming Platform for the iPhone."

"Blue Box is a respected leader in the Rails community," said Bill Lapcevic, vice president of business development with New Relic. "We are pleased to be partnering with Blue Box to give their customers instant access to our application management solution."

Availability

The integration of New Relic RPM and Blue Box’s Box Panel is available immediately. Blue Box customers who already have an RPM account can enter their license key when prompted in Box Panel. New customers can create an RPM Lite account through the Box Panel interface. Application status data can be viewed in Box Panel and links in the data can provide instant access to the RPM dashboards and reports.
