Wily Introduces Web Services Manager

Posted on: Monday, 17 October 2005, 06:00 CDT

BRISBANE, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Wily Technology Inc., the leader in Enterprise Application Management, today announced the availability of its new Wily Web Services Manager product, enabling IT staff to monitor critical web services 24x7 and proactively detect and eliminate problems before they impact business performance. Wily Web Services Manager (WSM) gives IT staff control over the complexity of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments that utilize web services by providing transaction-level visibility into web services, web applications and connected back-end systems. Wily WSM utilizes Wily's market leading Introscope(R), and is part of Wily's comprehensive suite of solutions for managing the performance and integrity of enterprise applications.

"Poorly managed Web services implementations can have many ramifications, from impacts on employee productivity to lost customer business," said Cameron Haight, research VP at Gartner in his research report: Client Issues for Web Services Management. "Organizations seeking benefits from deploying web services-based applications need also to fully assess the risks and have the roles, processes and tools in place to deliver the levels of performance and availability required by the business."

Wily Web Services Manager provides both application support and operations personnel with a complete understanding of web service performance and availability to help assure Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance. Wily WSM monitors web services around the clock, and proactively alerts operations personnel when a service experiences an outage or fails to meet performance targets. The solution provides deep visibility into web services component interactions and delivers detailed information about individual transactions to help IT staff quickly identify and correct web services performance issues.

"The growing complexity of SOAs creates significant application and service management challenges," said Lewis Cirne, founder and chief technical officer at Wily Technology Inc. "Wily Web Services Manager is the only solution that delivers comprehensive visibility into web service performance, advance alerts of problems before they impact associated applications, and the ability to perform deep problem diagnosis for rapid problem resolution."

Wily WSM provides web services monitoring out of the box with pre-configured dashboards, programmable alerts and historical performance and error reporting. The solution facilitates collaboration between IT departments by producing performance trend and service level compliance reports. Wily Web Services Manager features include:

-- Preemptive Failure Alerts -- Real-time alerts provide advanced warning of possible web services slowdown or outage. Customize alerts to trigger on performance issues for business processes or individual web services. -- Deep Problem Diagnosis -- After alerts, drill into web service errors with information on SOAP messages that experience problems using Introscope Error Detector. -- SLA Reporting -- Generate SLA compliance reports for individual services and operations including availability and usage. This valuable data can be used to facilitate service capacity planning. -- Application Dependency Mapping -- Automatic mapping and identification of dependencies between applications and servers to help IT teams understand web services transaction flow. -- Pre-Configured Dashboards -- Display information critical to Application Managers including 10 slowest web services, web service response times, socket bandwidth metrics, invocation counts and errors. -- Automatic Instrumentation -- Zero development effort required to deploy monitoring capabilities throughout complex web services environments. -- Trace Transactions -- Leverage Wily's patented Blame Technology to trace transactions through applications to identify web service performance bottlenecks.
