Service Integrity Unveils ISV Program and SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition.

NEWTON, Mass. -- SIFT enables ISVs to speed SOA deployments and enhance their solutions with more sophisticated monitoring/analysis capabilities and broad visibility into both HTTP and XML data flows

Service Integrity, Inc., the leading provider of monitoring and analysis solution frameworks, today announced SIFT(TM) 2.1 ISV Edition, with new enhancements for embedding monitoring and analysis functionality into enterprise software solutions. This new software edition is targeted at Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who would embed Service Integrity's SIFT product in their own solutions. The SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition's key features and enhancements are customized to meet the specific needs of ISVs by offering a single solution compatible with a wide range of application servers, including Microsoft IIS and .NET remoting servers, IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, and other J2EE-compliant servers.

Service Integrity(TM) also launched the industry's most comprehensive monitoring and analysis ISV Partner Program, which reflects the company's significant experience helping ISVs bring their Web services-enabled products to market effectively, while minimizing the associated learning curve.

"As software solutions are increasingly becoming services-based, ISVs must deliver both operational and business visibility in a leveraged manner. The packaging of traditional IT performance indicators - such as security and application health - with critical business information give the requisite knowledge to enable effective enterprise decision-making," said Michael Madden, Service Integrity CEO. "Based on overwhelming response and feedback from leading ISVs, we developed SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition. Our new ISV Partner Program is designed to make the adoption process simple and cost-effective, serving the needs of a broad range of ISVs committed to aligning IT and business."

John Zicker, CEO of Sana Security, Inc., stated, "By making our industry leading intrusion detection software interoperable with SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition, we are able to offer customers a business context to the protection we provide against known and unknown attacks. This joint value proposition allows us to better serve existing market segments and address new ones. As an example, together we offer a unique solution for compliance with the recently-passed legislation in California (CA1386) requiring financial institutions to alert customers of credit card fraud. Not only do we prevent fraud and alert IT professionals of attacks on customer information, but we also provide an auditable record establishing the continued integrity of business information. Similar legislation is currently before the United States Congress and our solution will be uniquely positioned to capture market share when the law is adopted nationwide."

The SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition features include:

1. Cross platform support. SIFT 2.1 runs on Java, J2EE, Microsoft .NET, JBOSS and other popular platforms.

2. Broader visibility. SIFT 2.1 monitors both HTTP and XML data flows increasing the depth to which ISVs can monitor, analyze and understand the total business context of transactions.

3. Industry standards support. SIFT 2.1 supports all Web services standards including SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and Java API standards such as JAX-RPC and more.

4. Best performance and scalability. SIFT's Stream Sensors (TM) allow fast, non-intrusive monitoring of data streams with minimal impact on performance.

5. Ease of embedding. SIFT's non-invasive design minimizes the coding required to integrate into ISV applications.

Service Integrity has also expanded its service and support offerings and offers competitive discounting for ISVs. These newly-expanded offerings include:

1. Education - A revamped fundamentals course, an advanced SIFT course and online training.

2. Professional Services - A team of experienced technical professionals focused on working with ISVs to embed SIFT in their solutions.

3. Support - Lead sharing, co-marketing, free support incidents, toll-free hotline, online support and more.

SIFT 2.1 ISV Edition is available now and pricing is provided upon request.
