Wily Expands
Portal Manager™ Family with Support for BEA® WebLogic® Portal™
SAN FRANCISCO, BEA eWorld 2004 — May 25, 2004 — Wily
Technology, the leader in enterprise application management,
today announced Wily Portal Manager™ 5.0 for BEA WebLogic® Portal,
expanding the industry's first and only family of enterprise
portal management solutions. Wily Portal Manager is integral
to the company's strategy to provide customers with the very
best means for managing the performance and availability
of next-generation, application platform suites.
Enterprise portals are increasingly becoming the vehicle
of choice for providing customers, employees and partners
with greater access to critical resources and information.
Portals rely on a process-driven, platform-independent architecture
which is ideal for integrating a wide range of services and
applications — all accessible through a single, browser-based
login. Wily Portal Manager for BEA WebLogic Portal is the
industry's only comprehensive solution specifically designed
to monitor enterprise WebLogic Portal applications and the
back-end systems to which they connect.
Wily Portal Manager provides out-of-the box, customizable
dashboards, alerts and visibility into the availability and
performance of portal applications. It is designed to simplify
the challenge of isolating portal problems by summarizing
portal performance and identifying key workflow areas. Portal
administrators can immediately pinpoint the root cause of
performance problems and address issues before users are
impacted. This enables IT teams to stay on top of service
level agreements and quality of service goals.
Managing and monitoring portals in production can present
some unique challenges. Not only do portals handle thousands
of user requests and interact with hundreds of applications
via their respective portlets, but also isolating the cause
of performance issues has typically required rebuilding and
load testing of each individual portlet outside of the production
environment. Developed with Wily's extensive experience helping
customers deploy and manage their BEA WebLogic application
and portal solutions, Wily Portal Manager for BEA WebLogic
Portal provides deep, real-time visibility into the entire
production portal environment, including individual portlets,
portal workflow processes and connections to back-end systems
such as databases, mainframes and transaction processing
systems.
"As more and more customers deploy BEA WebLogic Portal
as a key element of their service-oriented architecture,
Wily and BEA are working closely together to provide the
means for ensuring robust performance and availability," said
Kent Smith, senior vice president of worldwide field operations,
Wily Technology, Inc. "Wily Portal Manager gives enterprises
a tremendous advantage by offering real-time visibility into
the entire portal environment, enabling IT teams to increase
productivity and better ensure superior levels of service."
Key Features and Benefits of Wily Portal Manager 5.0 include:
- Real-time monitoring of internal portal activity in the
production environment to ensure maximum portal availability;
- Comprehensive visibility into the BEA WebLogic Portal
as well as connections to critical back-end systems such
as databases, mainframes, and third-party applications;
- Customizable dashboards that summarize overall portal
health and promptly indicate problem areas within the workflow;

issues can be identified proactively before they impact

standard management applications and infrastructures.
