Using Oracle9i Application Server
ManageEngine Suite 5 now supports Oracle9i Application Server
to Expose Business Impact of Technology Infrastructure Performance
Pleasanton, California, Nov 12, 2002
AdventNet (Booth Number 2440 at OracleWorld), the leading
provider of standards-based J2EE management solutions and
a Member Partner of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, today announced
that ManageEngine Suite 5 now supports Oracle9i Application
Server. (Nasdaq:ORCL). This support will allow the thousands
of IT managers and developers using Oracle9i Application Server
to measure the business impact of the performance of their
applications and technology infrastructures, an important
evolutionary step that will allow technical managers to have
a hand in driving business results.
Oracle9i Application Server already boasts one of the industry's
best track records for ensuring performance and scalability.
ManageEngine 5 is the first and only software framework that
allows customers to track the business impact of application
performance. Developers will be able to use the ManageEngine
tools for exposing system and business logic attributes in
a graphical format as they target their applications for the
Oracle9i Application Server.
"Oracle9i Application Server is the industry's fastest
J2EE application server and incorporates built-in instrumentation
for application monitoring. Oracle9i Application Server is
completely instrumented to enable application management without
performance degradation," said Thomas Kurian, senior
vice president, Oracle9i Application Server Development at
Oracle. "ManageEngine Suite of tools together with Oracle9i
Application Server provides a rich and robust solution offering
to developers and IT managers needing to -maximize efficiency
out of their business software".
"AdventNet provides standards-based manageability for
J2EE applications and enables management using existing Enterprise
management consoles," said AdventNet's CTO, Dr. Tony
Thomas. "We are leading the industry effort to simplify
J2EE using management tools, starting with application and
systems management. Key to that effort is supporting the industry's
most important application platforms, none more so than Oracle
9i Application Server. We're excited by the wide base of prospects
we've opened up to our software by supporting this industry-leading
platform".
About ManageEngine Suite 5
ManageEngine Suite 5 automates instrumentation, provides
automated tools to build custom consoles, and integrates with
existing management consoles. In the past, the process of
exposing application attributes (e.g., response time) or functions
to be managed required significant time, effort and knowledge.
Now, developers can graphically pick attributes (usually represented
as Enterprise JavaBeans components) to monitor and measure,
creating rules for when IT or even business managers are alerted
to kinks in the system. No additional code needs to be written.
As an illustration, the IT manager in charge of a call center
may use instrumentation to track staff efficiency in each
step of the customer service process using the application.
This may include, for instance, tracking use of a knowledge
base by staff and how it measurably speeds up customer service.

product that can replace more than 12 separate point products
from other vendors. Oracle9i Application Server features full
J2EE support, built-in enterprise portal software, high-speed

application and business integration, web services and more,

About AdventNet
AdventNet's products enable customized management solutions
for networks, systems, and applications. For enterprise IT
applications, they fill the gap between infrastructure performance
and business performance. To accomplish this, the firm makes
and markets a software suite called ManageEngine, which comprises
an instrumentation engine, a console and a console builder
that together creates a JMX framework for managing entire
J2EE infrastructures. Unlike diagnostic or performance tuning
tools, ManageEngine collects application performance statistics
covering both system (e.g., transactional throughout) and
business attributes (e.g., customers served, revenue generated).
The firm sells ManageEngine Suite to independent software
vendors and system architects who are responsible for very
large IT infrastructures. AdventNet has offices in CA, Austin, New Jersey, Chennai, Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing.
It has a well-trained partner base around the globe and thousands of customers world-wide.
