SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2003

Wily Technology, the leader in Enterprise Java Application Management, today announced Introscope(R) PowerPack for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1(TM) from BEA Systems (Nasdaq:BEAS), the newest addition to Wily's comprehensive solution suite for BEA WebLogic Platform(TM).

Introscope PowerPack for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 combines the ability of Introscope to monitor the performance of production J2EE components such as EJBs, JSPs and Servlets with measurements specific to BEA WebLogic Server 8.1. Introscope PowerPack for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 is pre-configured to help offer instant component-level monitoring of BEA WebLogic Server, including JDBC Connection pools, Execute Threads Queue, HTTP sessions, SOAP Services and security infrastructure. Wily's new Introscope PowerPack for WebLogic Server 8.1 is designed to make it easier than ever for operations personnel and professional services personnel to monitor any live production Java environment, tune their systems for optimal performance and isolate bottlenecks, whether inside the Java application or in one of the back-end systems.

"WebLogic Server 8.1 makes it easier for enterprises to build and deploy new applications that increase operational efficiency, enhance the customer experience and allow businesses to be more agile in today's competitive environment," said Scott Edgington, vice president and general manager, global software partners, BEA Systems. "Wily's new Introscope PowerPack for WebLogic Server 8.1 helps BEA customers meet these same business goals by delivering out-of-the-box visibility into key WebLogic components, helping IT teams to quickly fine-tune and configure WebLogic Server and to better ensure the performance and availability of their production applications."

"Wily continues to work with BEA to give enterprise customers the tools they need to successfully deploy and manage critical Java applications," said Steve Tucker, Wily vice president of product management. "Introscope PowerPack for BEA WebLogic 8.1 and Wily's suite of Java management products are designed to work with Introscope to provide a robust management solution for the BEA WebLogic application environment, including databases and transaction servers. Together, Wily and BEA are helping organizations deploy new applications more rapidly and attain the highest level of service and performance for existing BEA WebLogic applications."

Introscope PowerPack for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 is an extension of Introscope, Wily's comprehensive Enterprise Java Application Management solution. Introscope monitors the performance of live production Java applications and pinpoints the exact cause of performance bottlenecks down to the component level whether inside the application itself or in the connection to back-end transactional and supporting systems. Introscope allows IT staff to better ensure high Java application performance in each stage of the application lifecycle and gives them the ability to quickly isolate and resolve performance issues when they arise. Introscope provides a common language that operations, QA and development personnel can use to proactively maintain application performance and availability.
