AmberPoint to Integrate Solutions with Wily Introscope

AmberPoint to Join Wily Integration Network, Bringing Together Leading SOA Governance and Enterprise Application Management Solutions

Oakland, California, October 10, 2005 -- AmberPoint today announced plans to integrate its industry-leading SOA management software with Wily Technology’s Introscope®, the industry’s foremost application performance management solution. AmberPoint also announced that it has joined the new Wily Integration Network (WIN). Used together, solutions from AmberPoint and Wily will provide joint customers with deep visibility into the performance of services-based systems, early visibility into service level agreement (SLA) compliance issues and the ability to automatically respond to Web service errors and poor application performance.

“We’re pleased that AmberPoint has joined the WIN Program and plans to integrate their technology with our Introscope solution,” said Mike Malloy, senior vice president of marketing at Wily Technology. “By combining offerings from the leaders in application performance and SOA management, our mutual customers will be able to better monitor and manage the performance and integrity of their mission-critical business transactions.”

AmberPoint is the market-share leader for SOA runtime governance software. Its solutions provide detailed content- and context-based analysis of application interactions within SOA-based systems with powerful diagnostic tools that focus on SOAP messages, service interfaces and multi-hop interactions. Wily delivers performance monitoring and deep diagnostic information for J2EE-based custom or packaged applications, from the browser to connected back-end systems. Used together, solutions from AmberPoint and Wily deliver an unmatched level of visibility and control into services-based application environments.

In addition to runtime management capabilities, combined solutions from AmberPoint and Wily will also deliver significant benefits to organizations that are maintaining and growing their SOAs. AmberPoint’s SOA Validation System provides an easy way to utilize the production traffic it secures during runtime for validating and load testing services in a staging environment. AmberPoint can replay loads at multiple rates and, in concert with Wily, determine if a given Web service is experiencing performance issues due to CPU utilization problems, memory leaks or other reasons related to the application.

Benefits of the Combined Solutions
By using AmberPoint SOA governance solutions in tandem with Wily Introscope, organizations can achieve the following benefits:

  • Rapidly pinpoint problem areas by determining how one application layer affects another

  • Reduce downtime through proactive application management

  • Lower management costs by working with existing application logic, hardware and software

  • Panoramic visibility with network-wide service view from AmberPoint and deep drill-down capabilities into each component of the application from Wily

Wily Integration Network
Wily’s WIN Network provides a framework for partners to verify the technical readiness of solutions that complement or extend the value of Wily’s Introscope. To join the WIN Network, AmberPoint and Wily have agreed to work together to ensure that AmberPoint software will easily integrate with Introscope and deliver additional value to joint customers. A certification process will ensure the compatibility of solutions from best-of-breed partners and will enable joint customers to expand their overall application management capabilities with confidence.

“AmberPoint and Wily form a powerful combination for organizations that are serious about SOA,” said Ed Horst, vice president of marketing at AmberPoint. “By integrating solutions from AmberPoint and Wily, we’re providing organizations the ability to gain visibility across multiple layers—from transactions that cross multiple services, right down to the fine-grained details. The Wily WIN program is a framework to facilitate and extend this symbiotic relationship and will benefit our mutual customers.”
