TIBCO ActiveMatrix to Provide Predictive Service Level Agreement Management
for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
New Capability Automatically Solves Performance Issues Before They Occur

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TUCON(R) -- TIBCO
Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) today announced it has added new functionality to
its ActiveMatrix(TM) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform to
automatically predict and fix IT service problems before they slow down access
to mission critical business information. The new TIBCO ActiveMatrix(TM)
Service Performance Manager capabilities mark the next wave of SOA
infrastructure software technology from TIBCO by moving into the realm of
predicatively taking action to solve technology problems before they occur.
As SOA continues to grow in use and sophistication with expanded use of
individual services across the enterprise, customers have the unique challenge
of understanding and managing the dependency and re-use of services that may
have originally been built for one specific use and are now depended on by
multiple services, creating potential weak points in the system.
ActiveMatrix(TM) Service Performance Manager understands business Service
Level Agreements (SLA) and can monitor actual latency within context and time.
It proactively predicts and solves problems by taking action to, for example,
replicate an SOA service module or bring on-line additional servers to
automatically head off slowdowns and service interruptions and sends a notice
of the action taken.
This improves IT agility by enabling automatic and proactive, rather than
reactive, response to the time-consuming task of tracking, finding and fixing
glitches that naturally occur in today's heterogeneous IT systems. The new
ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager allows all kinds of businesses to
proactively predict and completely manage their SOA's.
"Business and IT users need the agility to immediately scale resources to
meet the ever increasing loads and demands of SOA services," said Matt Quinn,
senior vice president of engineering and technology strategies at TIBCO. "The
expanded functionality of ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager allows
companies to prevent IT problems automatically and behind the scenes, so they
can focus on strategic projects that are valuable to their business."
Availability
The TIBCO ActiveMatrix(TM) Service Performance Management module is
scheduled for release in calendar Q2 of 2008.
