AmberPoint to Manage Web Services Systems for Motorola

Industry-leading Software Company Delivers Comprehensive Web Services Management Capabilities

Oakland, California, June 7, 2004 -- AmberPoint today announced that Motorola, Inc. has selected its software solutions to manage and secure the company’s Web services-based systems. Motorola conducted a lengthy product review and completed an extensive proof of concept before deciding on AmberPoint Management Foundation, AmberPoint Service Level Manager and AmberPoint Exception Manager.

“The management layer is a critical component of any enterprise-class Web services system,” said Toby Redshaw, corporate vice president of IT Strategy Architecture and eBusiness, Motorola. “After an extensive review of solutions, we saw that AmberPoint met all our Web services management requirements. AmberPoint has given us the service level management and security measures we need to be successful with our loosely coupled systems.”

Advanced Web Services Management Requirements
Motorola is implementing a complex Web services-based system including J2EE services, those built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, packaged applications with Web services interfaces and external Web services. The company’s initial management requirements include:

• Service Level Management: Track performance and availability of Web services-based systems and perform real-time actions in response to performance metrics. Ensure that performance levels remain in compliance with established in service level agreements (SLAs).



• Exception Handling: Detect, diagnose and resolve faults and errant business conditions based upon clues hidden in multiple, distributed messages.



• Securing Access: Provide content-based security measures for Web services systems. Must integrate with XML firewall solutions.



• Fault Tolerance: Minimize downtime and prevent loss of data.



• UDDI Integration: Seamless integration with third-party UDDI registries.

"It was clear in our initial meetings that our companies shared a common vision for Web services and that our management capabilities met all of Motorola’s requirements,” said AmberPoint CEO John Hubinger. “Adding Motorola to our community of marquee customers extends our leadership in this market and is further validation of the unique advantages of our software solutions.”
