SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 2002

Wily Technology, the leader in Enterprise Java Application Management, today announced that it has further extended its ability to monitor mainframe Java applications with the addition of Introscope(R) PowerPack(TM) for IBM(R) WebSphere(R) for z/OS(R) and OS/390(R)*. Wily Technology is the only application management provider to offer comprehensive operations support for mainframe Java applications and application servers running in live production environments.

IBM mainframe customers worldwide are adopting Wily's solution suite as the standard for enterprise Java application performance and are using it to meet the essential criteria for successful application deployment: Higher Availability, Better Performance and Greater Control.

Wily's Introscope PowerPack for IBM WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 combines Introscope's ability to monitor the performance of production J2EE components such as EJBs, JSPs and Servlets in real time with measurements specific to WebSphere. Developed in cooperation with the IBM WebSphere Development Team, Introscope PowerPack for IBM WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 is pre-configured to offer instant component-level monitoring of WebSphere including JDBC Connection Pools, HTTP Sessions and Servlet Threads. This new PowerPack makes it easier than ever for operations personnel to pinpoint Java application performance bottlenecks and to fine-tune their systems for optimal performance.

Wily's new PowerPack for IBM WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 extends the capability of Introscope, Wily's flagship Web Application Monitor, and Wily's family of management solutions including Introscope SQL Agent for DB2*, Introscope PowerPack for CICS* Transaction Gateway and Introscope PowerPack for WebSphere MQ*.

"Wily and IBM have worked closely together to ensure that customers deploying Java applications on z/OS and OS/390 have every advantage when it comes to ensuring performance and availability," said Vic Nyman, Wily's senior vice-president of marketing. "In addition to its ability to monitor all Java components as well as transaction servers, databases and Java connectors, Wily Technology is the only provider of Java management solutions that can monitor Java applications and WebSphere in live production on IBM's high-performance mainframe platform."

Introscope PowerPack for IBM WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 is an extension of Introscope, Wily's comprehensive Enterprise Application Management solution. Introscope monitors the performance of production Java Web applications in real time and pinpoints the exact cause of performance bottlenecks whether inside the application at the component level or outside the application in an external system such as the database server, security server or any back-end system.
