VERITAS ił Keeps the IT Utility Running Smoothly
Provides Application Performance Management for a Production Environment
January 27, 2004,
Volume 71, Issue 4

VERITAS i³ is an application performance management (APM) tool that provides users with an analytical view of the performance of every application tier and its contribution to overall performance overhead. VERITAS i³ can detect, diagnose, correlate and correct performance across a complex application architecture, enabling users to isolate the root cause of a particular performance problem. The APM can also reveal the relationships among application tiers and demonstrate how tiers relate to the database.

With its broad management visibility, ease of use and extensive support of the JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM) VERITAS i³ has gained industry respect, as reported in a recent Gartner report, "Magic Quadrant for J2EE Application Server Management." Gartner put VERITAS i³ for the J2EE platform in the Market Leader quadrant, meaning that the APM offers both completeness of vision and the ability to execute. Evidence of a satisfied customer base bore considerable weight in that placement of VERITAS i³.

IT staff require actionable data if they are to solve application performance problems. Even with a complex architecture, VERITAS i³ is able to identify the particular tier where the problem resides and provide information in a format that is immediately usable by operations and development staff no matter how remotely they may be situated.

In summary, the strong selling points for VERITAS i³ for the J2EE platform are that it provides:

  • Comprehensive performance data collection with low overhead; a high-performance solution optimized to production environments

  • Invocation correlation; the ability drill up and down your JavaTM technology methods in context

  • Archivable and replayable performance data, which facilitates communication and the easy exchange of information

  • SmarTune to help you proactively detect and correct performance problems

  • Correlation of Web, the J2EE platform, and database servers; an end-to-end performance management solution

  • Web-based GUI that does not require client software

  • Custom instrumentation that allows teams to account for performance overhead

  • Visibility into Web-based packaged applications such as PeopleSoft, SAP, Siebel, JD Edwards, and others
