Bristol Technology Rolls Out TransactionVision®
11/29/2005
Bristol Technology®, a provider of business process monitoring solutions, today announced the new TransactionVision® Browser Sensor, which expands customer's visibility of their transaction flow to include transaction steps that start in the Windows web browser.
Bristol provided the following details:
This further delivers on Bristol's vision of monitoring business transactions from inception to completion and all points in between; increasing operational efficiency, while revealing the impact that poor performing or failed transactions can have on the business.
"Companies already know the importance of being able to measure and improve their customer's experience," said Ken Blackwell, Bristol's CTO. "But they now realize that it's not enough to know when performance of the customer facing application is poor; instead companies need to understand how poor end-user performance is related to the performance of transactional back-end systems. Only TransactionVision can trace those steps and tie a single transaction flow across all tiers of the enterprise back to the end-user experience."
Today's business applications are typically composed of many integrated, but independent, steps. For example,
- Front end - Internet Explorer browser submits a request.
*An application server starts processing the request.
*The application server routes part of the transaction to an integration broker via messaging middleware.
*The integration broker in turn leverages a mainframe to perform specific tasks.
*The results flow back to the user's browser.
TransactionVision provides visibility into each step by monitoring key transactional events in browsers, application servers, integration brokers, messaging middleware, and mainframe CICS/IMS/Batch tasks.
TransactionVision is ideal for enterprises that require business process monitoring of critical business transactions across disparate middleware and applications. TransactionVision is non-intrusive and automatically discovers business process flows across multi-tier data centers.
