Application Server Management Solution

Fenway is a total management solution capable of managing a complete ebusiness environment from the front-end web server, through the application server to the backend database on both the Microsoft and Java 2 Enterprise Edition platforms. The solution is designed specifically for customers with an "e"strategy. Supported platforms include application servers such as BEA WebLogic, Allaire JRun, IBM Websphere, Sun-Netscape iPlanet and ATG Dynamo.

The solution is comprised of several different sections, with a major distinction placed upon the type of application server (J2EE or COM+ based). COM+ based application servers will use the Windows NT/2000 event subscriber mechanism to learn about web applications and COM+ objects. J2EE based application servers will be managed through accessing a series of management servlets designed to reside within the application server.

The solution monitors and manages all aspects of the application server, front-end web server and back end database. This allows the user to examine statistics from each area including: web server –number of pages requested, error log entries, HTTP response time; application server – connection pool utilization, number of delayed requests and number of roll-backs; data base – cache hit ratio, table space utilization and physical reads. Once connected, individual web applications and their components will be automatically discovered, delivering detailed component statistics across web applications. These new statistics are exposed for thresholding, corrective actions and historical reporting, allowing for virtually uninterrupted ebusiness transactions.

The solution will have full compatibility with the company's current product offerings. Users of the RelyENT and xSPress solutions can integrate Fenway into their environment, and Fenway customers can extend the ebusiness solution to their larger infrastructure.
