The greatest challenge to managing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations is that managing the Services is only the tip of the iceberg–for true SOA management, a tool must manage all aspects of the underlying infrastructure as well. With their focus on the inner workings of Java application servers as well as .NET-based implementations, Tidal Software’s Intersperse Manager is able to rise to this SOA management challenge by offering a distributed, production management solution that provides whole-system visibility and real-time control over an enterprise’s Service-oriented application environments. By managing and monitoring up and down the application stack and across integrated business applications, Intersperse Manager delivers increased system performance and availability for the SOA implementation.
