Wily Unveils Portal Manager 4.0 for IBM WebSphere Portal 5.0

01/26/2004

Wily Technology, an Enterprise Application Management company, debuted Wily Portal Manager 4.0 for IBM WebSphere Portal 5.0, which Wily describes as “a first-to-market portal management solution and the only enterprise portal manager to exclusively support IBM WebSphere Portal customers.”



The launch of Wily Portal Manager 4.0 “builds on the company’s strategic direction to manage the performance and availability of next-generation, application platform suites that are being implemented by leading enterprises today,” Wily notes.

“Increasingly,” the vendor explains, “enterprise portals are becoming the infrastructure of choice to automate workflows, collect data and integrate applications with customers, partners and suppliers. A typical enterprise portal handles thousands of user requests and interacts with hundreds of applications via their respective portlets. Yet the sheer volume of processes can lead to deteriorating performance, and time spent discovering and isolating the problem combined with the loss of productivity can result in millions of dollars in lost revenue. Wily Portal Manager is the industry’s only portal management solution that provides real-time visibility across the entire portal workflow, drills down into individual portlets and extends into connected back-end resources beyond the portal framework.

“Until now, troubleshooting a portal problem entailed manually testing every portlet and process. With deep, internal visibility into the portal environment and external visibility into connections to back-end systems, Wily Portal Manager makes it possible for administrators to immediately pinpoint the root cause of performance problems. By providing a unique comprehensive view into each internal portal workflow process and all of its connected systems, administrators can address issues before they impact users and stay on top of service level agreements and quality of service goals. Rather than requiring the rebuilding and load-testing of each portlet outside of the production environment, which is costly and time-consuming, Wily Portal Manager enables administrators to easily isolate problematic portlets and focus on optimizing portal applications and performance, rather than focusing on resolving application failures and bottlenecks.

“In addition, Wily Portal Manager 4.0 is the only application performance management solution to support IBM WebSphere Portal Version 5.0.”

“Wily is closely aligned with IBM’s product strategy and committed to its strategic partnership with IBM to provide the highest levels of performance and management solutions for joint customers,” said Dick Williams, President and CEO of Wily Technology, Inc. “Wily Portal Manager will enable IBM WebSphere Portal customers to address their critical portal performance challenges and increase the ROI of their portal projects.”

Key features of Wily Portal Manager 4.0 include, IN WILY’S WORDS:

  • Real-time monitoring – investigates internal portal activity in the production environment to ensure maximum portal availability


  • Comprehensive visibility – monitors and correlates portal performance with connections to critical back-end systems such as databases, mainframes, and third-party applications


  • Easy-to-use dashboards – summarize overall portal health and promptly indicates problem areas within the workflow


  • Explorer tree views – isolate problems of individual portlets, for improved control over portal service delivery


  • Automated threshold alarms – identify portal performance issues proactively before they impact users


  • An extensible portal monitoring solution – supports standard management applications and infrastructures



Wily Portal Manager 4.0 is generally available today.
