AmberPoint Awarded Patent for the Core Technology It Uses to Manage and Monitor Composite Applications.U.S. Patent Office Awards Distributed Application An application made up of distinct components running in separate runtime environments, usually on different platforms connected via a network. Typical distributed applications Management Leader a Patent Covering Innovative Approach to Processing Traffic by Content and Context OAKLAND, Calif. -- AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of management solutions for distributed, composite applications In computing, the term composite application expresses a perspective of software engineering that defines an application built by combining multiple services. People often compare composite applications to mashups. , today announced that it has been awarded a patent for a core set of its technology. The newly issued U.S. Patent No. 7,549,153 covers AmberPoint's apparatus and method for leveraging the content and context of the messages flowing across distributed applications, such as SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. , Web 2.0 and Web services-based systems. This technology facilitates many of the governance and management functions that AmberPoint provides--including Business Transaction Management, SOA governance Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) governance is a concept used for activities related to exercising control over services in a SOA. SOA governance can be seen as an overlay on IT governance, but its focus is more organizational, since services are closely related to business activities. , policy enforcement, Cloud API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. management and other crucial capabilities for managing composite applications. "By leveraging the rich payloads of information in the message stream, organizations are able to accomplish very interesting and necessary management tasks," explained Paul Butterworth, AmberPoint Chief Technology Officer. "For example, the management system can know to notify a business manager if a Platinum customer's transaction fails somewhere in the network of services. Our approach for accomplishing content- and context-based processing of system traffic has helped hundreds of enterprise customers achieve more reliable, trustworthy distributed applications." With solutions from AmberPoint, enterprises implementing services-based applications can better understand system behavior, manage each transaction flowing across composite applications, and implement policies that automate performance management, remedy exceptional conditions and uphold security. They can do all this without special coding to the services or message tags. AmberPoint's non-invasive architecture allows applications to evolve and grow without constant recoding Noun 1. recoding - converting from one code to another coding, steganography, cryptography, secret writing - act of writing in code or cipher to system components. About AmberPoint AmberPoint provides the world's most widely distributed Adj. 1. widely distributed - growing or occurring in many parts of the world; "a cosmopolitan herb"; "cosmopolitan in distribution" cosmopolitan bionomics, environmental science, ecology - the branch of biology concerned with the relations between organisms and implemented solutions for governing and managing composite applications.
