Wily Technology
Unveils Wily Portal Manager™, Industry's First Enterprise
Portal Management Solution
Brisbane, CA — January 26, 2004 — Wily Technology,
the leader in Enterprise Java Application Management, today
announced Wily Portal Manager 4.0 for IBM WebSphere Portal
5.0, a first-to-market portal management solution and the
only enterprise portal manager to exclusively support IBM
WebSphere Portal customers. The launch of Wily Portal Manager
4.0 builds on the company's strategic direction to manage
the performance and availability of next-generation, application
platform suites that are being implemented by leading enterprises
today.
Increasingly, enterprise portals are becoming the infrastructure
of choice to automate workflows, collect data and integrate
applications with customers, partners and suppliers. A typical
enterprise portal handles thousands of user requests and
interacts with hundreds of applications via their respective
portlets. Yet the sheer volume of processes can lead to deteriorating
performance, and time spent discovering and isolating the
problem combined with the loss of productivity can result
in millions of dollars in lost revenue. Wily Portal Manager
is the industry's only portal management solution that provides
real-time visibility across the entire portal workflow, drills
down into individual portlets and extends into connected
back-end resources beyond the portal framework.
Until now, troubleshooting a portal problem entailed manually
testing every portlet and process. With deep, internal visibility
into the portal environment and external visibility into
connections to back-end systems, Wily Portal Manager makes
it possible for administrators to immediately pinpoint the
root cause of performance problems. By providing a unique
comprehensive view into each internal portal workflow process
and all of its connected systems, administrators can address
issues before they impact users and stay on top of service
level agreements and quality of service goals. Rather than
requiring the rebuilding and load-testing of each portlet
outside of the production environment, which is costly and
time-consuming, Wily Portal Manager enables administrators
to easily isolate problematic portlets and focus on optimizing
portal applications and performance, rather than focusing
on resolving application failures and bottlenecks.
In addition, Wily Portal Manager 4.0 is the only application
performance management solution to support IBM WebSphere
Portal Version 5.0.
"Wily is closely aligned with IBM's product strategy
and committed to its strategic partnership with IBM to provide
the highest levels of performance and management solutions
for joint customers," said Dick Williams, President
and CEO of Wily Technology, Inc. "Wily Portal Manager
will enable IBM WebSphere Portal customers to address their
critical portal performance challenges and increase the ROI
of their portal projects."
Key Features and Benefits of Wily Portal Manager 4.0 include:
- Real-time monitoring — investigates internal portal
activity in the production environment to ensure maximum
portal availability;
- Comprehensive visibility — monitors and correlates
portal performance with connections to critical back-end
systems such as databases, mainframes, and third-party
applications;
- Easy-to-use dashboards — summarize overall portal
health and promptly indicates problem areas within the
workflow;
- Explorer tree views — isolate problems of individual
portlets, for improved control over portal service delivery;
- Automated threshold alarms — identify portal performance
issues proactively before they impact users; and
- An extensible portal monitoring solution — supports
standard management applications and infrastructures.
