Avada Software Collaborates with IBM to offer Turnkey WebSphere Messaging Management Portal.BOSTON -- Avada Software, an innovative provider of Messaging Management solutions for WebSphere[R] MQ (WMQ WMQ Websphere MQ (IBM) ), Broker (WBI (WeB Intermediaries) A technology from IBM that provides a framework for intermediate processing between the user's browser and the Web server. WBI provides a middleware standard that can be used for password and privacy management, for transcoding from one format to ), and JMS (Java Messaging Service) A programming interface (API) from Sun for connecting Java programs to messaging middleware such as IBM's MQSeries and TIBCO's Rendezvous. JMS is part of Sun's J2EE platform. See J2EE. JMS - Java Message Service , today announced it has collaborated with IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) to release its latest version of the Infrared360[TM] Management Portal (MP) with the IBM Express Runtime product. The package enables customers to quickly create both the Infrared360[TM] Management Portal and full platform environment with a single installation. IBM Express Runtime contains WebSphere Application Server Express version 6.1 and DB2 Express version 9, the preferred application server and database environments for Infrared360[TM]. "Avada Software has built its solution to run seamlessly with the latest IBM application platforms," said IBM Vice President of Mid-market Solutions, Chris Wicher. "Along with their unique 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. interface for triggering services, we feel they are a great fit for the IBM Express offerings." "We are very excited about this collaboration," said Peter D'Agosta, C.O.O of Avada Software. "Our customer base relies on the secure transport of WebSphere MQ and JMS based messaging middleware Software that provides an interface between applications, allowing them to send data back and forth to each other asynchronously. Data sent by one program can be stored in a queue and then forwarded to the receiving program when it becomes available to process it. for critical information. It's a natural evolution that the customer's messaging management platform runs as a typical web application on the WebSphere platform. Avada Software has done just that in architecting Infrared360[TM]. We've taken yet another leap forward by building simple SOA interfaces into Infrared360[TM] so that our customers can leverage other services and applications within their infrastructure to support their mission critical middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a . This is all done with an eye towards ease of use, ease of deployment, and ease of maintenance." "Since converting to Infrared360[TM], we have been impressed with the flexibility of the architecture and the performance we have experienced. Infrared360[TM] is faster and easier to use than our previous MQ monitoring software," said Hagemeyer, a customer of both IBM and Avada Software. The Infrared360[TM] Management Portal is a J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. compliant, agentless technology for the IBM WebSphere[R] MQ family of products and JMS based messaging infrastructures. Infrared360[TM] MP version 2.5 enables organizations to take control of management requirements within their enterprise messaging infrastructure without the need to deploy and update agent software on every managed platform. Infrared360[TM] MP allows companies to logically view different parts of their middleware environment and delegate responsibility directly to business units for remote administration, real time monitoring, message testing, scheduling, auditing, and reporting. |
