AdventNet Enhances ManageEngine JMX Studio Capabilities
to Manage Entire Application Ecosystems
New Features Enable Comprehensive Business-Level Management
of Diverse Components of Application Ecosystems
Pleasanton, California, January 28, 2003
AdventNet, Inc., the leading provider of standards-based
management software for applications and networks, today announced
new features in ManageEngine JMX Studio for comprehensive,
business-level management capabilities to significantly improve
management of enterprise applications. These features include
support for leading tools and platforms of enterprise application
ecosystems, including: an out-of-the box adaptor for TIBCO
AMI, an Apache Axis SOAP adaptor, manageability for Apache
Tomcat servlet containers and enhanced security with a context-based
authentication service for its adaptors and the built-in Rules
Engine.
"As Java and J2EE applications are developed, integrated
and deployed in enterprises, the manageability of these applications
is a critical requirement. JMX (Java Management Extensions)
is emerging as the primary industry standard to instrument
applications for manageability, and AdventNet's ManageEngine
JMX Studio's automation enables rapid and painless JMX-based
instrumentation, resulting in productivity gains for enterprises,"
said Audrey Rasmussen, Vice President of Enterprise Management
Associates.
Enhanced Features for Enterprise Application Management
The integration with TIBCO, the industry leader in enterprise
application integration and business process management, provides
TIBCO users with the ability to monitor and manage integrated
applications and business processes through the open JMX standards
allowing for ready interoperability with the rest of the ecosystem.
"ManageEngine JMX Studio goes beyond routine application
performance management, by automating the exposure of business-level
information to facilitate service level management, business
intelligence, enterprise application integration management
and business process management. The TIBCO AMI adaptor will
greatly facilitate standards-based management of TIBCO environments,"
said Rasmussen.
With the addition of a SOAP adaptor using Apache Axis, JMX
Studio provides enterprises with the ability to expose management
information from applications using the widely accepted XML-based
standard implementation of SOAP for Web services.
The Apache Tomcat servlet container provides Web developers
with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality
of a Web server and for accessing existing business systems.
ManageEngine JMX Studio now facilitates its seamless manageability
as part of the enterprise ecosystem.
These features build upon the existing functionality such
as out-of-the-box support for: application servers such as
WebLogic, WebSphere, Oracle 9iAS and JBoss; multi-management
protocol support with adaptors for SNMP, HTML, RMI and CORBA;
support for different data sources (EJBs, servlets, databases,
log files, MIBs); a Rules Engine for dynamic specification
of rules, and a powerful master-subagent architecture for
clustered environment support and much more.
"Enterprises need better tools to improve management
of mission-critical applications," said Dr. Tony Thomas,
CTO of AdventNet. "Through constant interaction with
enterprise customers, we continually enhance our products
to deliver higher value to our customers. We are delighted
to offer these ManageEngine enhancements as a testimony to
our passion for serving customers with superior products."
ManageEngine JMX Studio employs the first and only independent
JMX implementation to be certified by Sun Microsystems, and
works with popular management consoles from CA, BMC, HP and
IBM Tivoli. With AdventNet's 'try before you buy' policy,
the ManageEngine JMX Studio is available for download at www.adventnet.com
