AmberPoint Announces the Industry`s Most Comprehensive Application Management for Oracle

AmberPoint Brings Application Management to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle
Database and Oracle Applications
OAKLAND, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
AmberPoint today announced application management for Oracle`s latest
applications and infrastructure. Augmenting an already impressive list of
integrations across Oracle products, AmberPoint now instruments the Oracle 11g
suite of applications infrastructure-including Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g,
Oracle Database 11g and Oracle BPEL Process Manager.

With AmberPoint, enterprises deploying composite applications can better
understand distributed system behavior, manage each transaction holistically
across application components and enforce policies that automate performance
management and remedy exceptional conditions, while ensuring access control and
regulatory compliance. AmberPoint delivers these capabilities to the Oracle
platform non-invasively, without requiring any changes to application code.

Industry-Leading Management for Oracle 11g

AmberPoint provides comprehensive management and governance for applications
built using Oracle Fusion middleware and database infrastructure, including:

* Oracle WebLogic Server
* Oracle Application Server
* Oracle BPEL Process Manager
* Oracle Service Bus
* Oracle Database
* Oracle Data Service Integrator
* Oracle TopLink
* Oracle WebLogic Integration
* Oracle Service Registry/Enterprise Repository
* Oracle Access Manager

Management-Ready Oracle Business Applications

By instrumenting the complete Oracle platform, AmberPoint can provide visibility
into commercial applications based on this infrastructure. Examples include
Oracle business applications such as JD Edwards and PeopleSoft. Additionally, as
Oracle rolls out new Oracle Fusion Applications, those applications will be
ready off-the-shelf for management by AmberPoint. This puts AmberPoint in a
unique position to quickly deliver comprehensive management of critical business
transactions flowing through Oracle business applications.

"No other vendor provides such comprehensive support for managing the Oracle
platform," said Ed Horst, chief marketing officer at AmberPoint. "Oracle has
worked closely with us to ensure application performance management and business
transaction management across its solutions, including the recently announced
Oracle 11g."

Benefits

repair
* Minimizes transaction fallout, which can directly impact revenue
* Improves operational awareness of deployed applications, integration points
and performance characteristics
* Improves consistency across distributed application components
* Centralizes management across a complete set of application components and
