Wily Technology
Sets Industry Direction for Enterprise Application Management
Company Debuts Wily 5, Leading Application Management Solution
to Improve IT Agility and Ensure Business Continuity
Gartner Symposium / ITxpo, San Diego, CA — March 30,
2004 — Wily Technology, the leader in enterprise application
management, today announced Wily 5, the next-generation of
the industry's preeminent Enterprise Application Management
solution. The cornerstone of Wily 5 is Introscope® 5.0,
the latest edition of the first and most successful tool
for managing J2EE applications built on Java application
server platforms. Today, Wily is also announcing support
for the JBoss® Open source Application Server, as well
as a new line of Introscope PowerPacks™ for IBM® WebSphere® Business
Integration adapters. Wily 5 is the first software solution
to provide management visibility into the performance and
availability of the entire J2EE application platform suite,
including portal, application server and integration components.
As a result, customers can achieve better customer service,
more stable revenue streams, more reliable business processes,
and higher IT productivity.
Introscope 5.0 is an enterprise application management solution
that helps organizations ensure the performance and availability
of their mission-critical applications and supporting systems.
Introscope is the only platform-independent Java management
solution that is fully compatible with any Java environment.
With new fast-path navigation, Introscope customers can have
intuitive dashboards which allow them to isolate problems
even more rapidly by simply clicking on customized dashboard
links. This allows both expert and non-expert users to more
easily determine the source of performance issues throughout
the J2EE application architecture.
"Wily is taking an important step forward with the
release of Wily 5," said Vic Nyman, senior vice president
of products and strategy at Wily Technology. "As J2EE
adoption accelerates and enterprises deploy more and more
business-critical applications in production environments,
the need to manage and monitor complex and integrated applications
dramatically increases. In addition, IT must share information
about application performance across the organization. Wily's
hallmark is its ability to provide deep, real-time visibility
into the application environment so that enterprises can
quickly monitor everyday availability and isolate application
bottlenecks and failures — before they impact critical
business processes and customer downtime. Introscope 5.0
delivers and exceeds on all these fronts."
"At The Northern Trust, we look to Wily and Introscope
to help us manage our most critical production Web applications," said
Jason Bonds, senior technical architect at The Northern Trust,
a Wily customer and a leading provider of global custody,
asset administration and investment management services. "Availability
and performance are important for us to provide superior
online customer service. We are very excited about this new
version of Introscope. The new reporting features will be
great, and the new fast-path dashboards will make it even
easier to isolate application problems. Wily has consistently
innovated to improve their products and they have been highly
responsive to our growing application management needs."
In addition to the performance and collaboration enhancements
to Introscope 5.0, key new features include:
- New native reporting system offers improved collaboration
by enabling application performance data to be shared with
a broad class of users across the organization;
- New fast-path user interface navigation that provides
even faster problem solving;
- First comprehensive application management solution for
JBoss Open Source Application Server, to complement the
existing support for all leading commercial platforms from
BEA, IBM, Oracle, Sun, and others;
- Integration with enterprise security solutions including
LDAP and fine-grained user permissions will enable Introscope
to be used by a greater number of users without additional
administration;
- Enhanced performance and scalability that addresses the
rapidly accelerating adoption of J2EE applications on a
large-scale; and
- Simplified deployment capabilities to reduce time to
value in managing large enterprise application portfolios.
Availability
Wily 5 will be generally available in mid-April 2004.
