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;
  • Automated threshold alarms so that portal performance issues can be identified proactively before they impact users; and
  • An extensible portal monitoring solution that supports standard management applications and infrastructures.

Wily Portal Manager 5.0 for BEA WebLogic Portal will be available in the second quarter, 2004. For more information on Wily Portal Manager, please go to:
