FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SOA Software Breaks Performance Barrier With Service Manager v 3.0
Award-Winning Web Services Management, Security and Governance Product
Proven to Handle More than One Billion Messages Per Hour
SANTA MONICA, Calif.─June 21, 2005─SOA Software (formerly Digital Evolution), the leading provider of comprehensive SOA and Web services management, security and governance solutions, today announced Service Manager version 3.0, a major new release of its award-winning Web Services Management product. Service Manager version 3.0 has been proven to scale to more than one billion per hour per minute in a simulated customer deployment.
“As enterprises migrate toward a service-oriented approach to IT, they must ensure that the underlying SOA infrastructure is capable of handling potentially very significant numbers of critical business transactions per minute,” said Neil Macehiter, principal and co-founder, Macehiter Ward-Dutton. “This demands comprehensive security and management capabilities combined with enterprise-class scalability and performance."
SOA Software designed and built Service Manager to ensure that it could scale to meet the most extreme demands placed on it in enterprise deployments. Built around an enterprise-class UDDIv3 registry, Service Manager version 3.0 adds comprehensive registry-based dashboard functionality, service endpoint discovery, auto-management, extensive real-time charting and a JSR168 portal framework for the user interface.
"Enterprises now implementing Service-Oriented Architectures face the challenge of building scalable, loosely coupled and reusable Services that can be securely deployed and managed," said Jason Bloomberg, Senior Analyst with ZapThink.š "Service Manager is designed to secure and manage enterprise-class SOA implementations today, while being able to scale to meet the complex corporate IT environment of tomorrow."
Enterprise-class Web Services Management
The SOA Software Service Manager provides a comprehensive SOA infrastructure, delivering critical services to production enterprise SOA deployments:
Performance and Scalability
As enterprises realize the enormous benefits of their SOA, more and more of the existing business applications will migrate to Web services and the enterprise SOA infrastructure will need to grow accordingly. There are many factors that affect SOA scaling, including load-balancing, dynamic routing, SLA management, and many more. Enterprises must ensure that when they deploy a solution to manage their SOA that that solution can help their SOA scale without adversely affecting the performance of their services and the complete platform. The SOA Software Service Manager offers unparalleled performance and scalability delivering a comprehensive SOA infrastructure solution.
Reliability
The SOA Software Service Manager monitors Web service and XML transactions throughout the SOA to detect and manage errors, failures and business alerts. It offers industry-leading capabilities to create and manage a self-healing SOA Infrastructure with alert and event based routing mechanisms that can detect and route around performance bottlenecks and service failures.
SLA and performance Monitoring and Dashboards
Enterprise operations teams need in-depth visibility into the health and performance of their service networks. The SOA Software Service Manager delivers a comprehensive portlet-based performance and SLA monitoring dashboard interface. This UDDI registry-powered dashboard interface dynamically determines which content to display based on combined searches of the UDDI registry and available performance and service status data.
Security
An enterprise SOA must guarantee that services are only accessible to authorized, authenticated users, it must ensure the privacy of sensitive data, and it must provide a comprehensive audit trail to meet internal and external compliance regulations and standards. SOA Software’s Service Manager is the only Web Services Management product on the market today that provides a complete enterprise security solution.
Loose coupling
As SOA proliferates it is critical that enterprises maintain a strict loose-coupling of consumers and services to avoid the extensive expense and downtime involved in upgrading individual components or changing policies in tightly-coupled systems. The SOA Software Service Manager uses a central UDDIv3 registry as a policy store to abstract service and consumer developers from the complexity of implementing enterprise security and management policies.
"One of the challenges that has slowed the adoption of SOA and Web services is enterprises’ concerns over performance," said Eric Pulier, chairman and founder, SOA Software. "This release clearly shows that Service Manager leads the industry in performance and scalability and continues to offer the only complete SOA infrastructure solution available today.”
Availability and Pricing
SOA Software’s Service Manager v 3.0 will begin shipping in July, starting at $5,000 per CPU.
