VERITAS App Performance Mgmt Supports Java Enterprise System
VERITAS Software Corp and Sun Microsystems Inc broadened their long-standing
alliance by announcing that VERITAS i3 application performance management
(APM) software now supports the Sun Java Enterprise System. The integration of
VERITAS' APM software with the Java System Application Server and Java System
Portal Server, key components of the Sun Java Enterprise System, will enable
deeper visibility into the performance of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
(J2EE) applications, and is expected to deliver faster application response
times, and more predictable application service levels, key capabilities for
organizations working to adopt a utility computing model.
"Since its inception, the Java Enterprise System's revolutionary approach to
infrastructure software has helped eradicate complexity from enterprise
software procurement and management," said John Loiacono, executive vice
president of software at Sun Microsystems Inc. "Integrating VERITAS i3 APM
software with the Java Enterprise System offers enterprises the benefits of a
high-performance software system while also helping customers rapidly detect
and correct any potential performance problems."
VERITAS' APM software is unique in its ability to find and track performance
problems across all application tiers, identifying the root cause of
application performance degradation, and enabling IT staff to correct these
problems before they affect desired service levels. Meeting service level
requirements on a shared, automated infrastructure is a core component of
VERITAS' utility computing strategy and it is especially important with J2EE
Web-based applications, which are typically deployed to support business-
critical activities requiring "always on" performance.
"A growing number of companies are literally running their businesses on J2EE
environments, such as those built on the Java System Application Server and
Java System Portal Server. For these companies, maintaining high levels of
application performance -- and resolving any problems quickly, before they
affect end user performance -- are a necessity," said Kris Hagerman, executive
vice president of strategic operations for VERITAS Software. "We're pleased to
be working closely with Sun to bring our industry-leading VERITAS i3
application performance management solutions to Sun's Java Enterprise System
customers."
