Product uses JMX technology Intersperse at the BEA eWorld conference in Orlando, Fla., on Monday will announce Intersperse Management Framework Enterprise Edition 2.0 for monitoring business processes running on Java application server platforms.The product provides a distributed management framework for visibility into software components on integration, application, and process servers supporting Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology, according to Intersperse. Although it has been certified on the BEA WebLogic Server application server at this time, the product is intended to support any JMX-compliant platform, said AnuragWadehra, vice president of marketing at Intersperse, in Pasadena, Calif.“It’s a tool for monitoring and management of your business processes and all the underlying operational dependencies,” said Wadehra. For example, Intersperse’s platform could uncover difficulties in components in a customer service application that has stopped taking orders, he said. JMX technology, according to the Sun Microsystems’ Web site, is “the definitive means for Java management and monitoring: JMX technology provides the tools for building distributed, Web-based, modular and dynamic solutions for managing and monitoring devices, applications and service-driven networks.” Sun is the founder of Java.“What we have done is leverage that standard in our framework to instantly discover all the components that are running in WebLogic Server,” Wadehra said.Intersperse Management Framework Enterprise Edition 2.0, which actually is the initial release of the product for use with application servers, enables IT integrators to discover, map, monitor, and control mission-critical software components and services in a business context, according to Intersperse. The product is available now. Included in the package are Intersperse Connectors, to capture information from specific environments; Visibility Ladder, providing for a contextual map of a user environment; Console, which is a control panel; and Analytical Engine, for analysis of events.
