Cape Clear Integrates BAM into ESB Platform
11/15/2006
Cape Clear® Software, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) provider for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), today announced general availability of Cape Clear Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) as an embedded product family in Cape Clear 6.7’s ESB Platform.
ebizQ received the following details:
Cape Clear BAM is the first solution to monitor real-time and historical business performance across complex, heterogeneous environments through the use of ESB and SOA technologies. According to the Gartner1 “Business Activity Monitoring is the only technology…rated as high impact (enables new ways of performing vertical applications that will result in significantly increased revenue or cost savings for an enterprise)...”
Cape Clear BAM is comprised of two products:
1. Cape Clear BAM - SOA Monitor – Allows IT operations, and application and service delivery support to quickly assess application health, ensure SLA conformance, troubleshoot and diagnose problems, analyze impacts and provide predictive monitoring to identify IT incidents before they impact business operations.
2. Cape Clear BAM - Business Monitor – Provides business operations, process owners and executives real-time access to business key performance indicators across a 360-degree view of business processes, allowing improved responsiveness to business exceptions and events.
“Cape Clear BAM extends the value of SOA to directly impact the business user,” said Jeffrey Read, president and COO of Cape Clear. “Cape Clear now has the most advanced BAM capabilities beyond any ESB vendor, delivering today what most vendors are only talking about – a completely open, standards-based, and scalable ESB Platform that is not tied to a traditional complex, expensive and slow proprietary stack approach.”
Superior Productivity
Because Cape Clear BAM is embedded into Cape Clear’s market-leading ESB Platform, the ESB manages and orchestrates the services and information across all SOA infrastructure and applications to enable real-time monitoring, eliminating the need to inject costly and complex data connectors, adaptors and agents into individual applications. Cape Clear BAM is also based on a series of pre-built modules that speed development compared to a traditional toolset approach. While the ESB Platform does the “heavy integration lifting” through a common development environment, Cape Clear BAM gives visibility into key performance indicators and SLAs, facilitating business optimization and faster, better-informed decisions.
Freedom of Choice
Unlike other business activity monitoring solutions, Cape Clear BAM provides easy integration with a customer’s existing technologies, offering customizable views, correlation rules, and alerting capabilities with rich support for complex, heterogeneous environments for any web service. Tailored dashboards enable a 360-degree view of a customer’s entire SOA environment to provide visibility into user, application, and business performance.
Proven Performance
A high-performance correlation and rules engine enables Cape Clear BAM to scale to meet the needs of the most demanding enterprise environments. This enterprise strength combined with predictive monitoring helps to ensure the service levels, responsiveness, and health required for mission-critical applications. Cape Clear BAM’s underlying technology has already been deployed at over 200 customers worldwide.
