WHITE PAPERS

Situational Management for SOA

Production SOA applications that impact customers, transactions, revenue, and service levels require tighter, more immediate application-level management than the basic operational management that managers relied on in the past. The new management paradigm is 360° situational management. This paper examines how situational management provides visibility into specific situations as they develop, and the ability to proactively identify and react to a potential impact caused by particular patterns or circumstances.

Evolving Successfully To SOA: Step One

This white paper examines how a large global financial institution effectively applied Nastel's AutoPilot technology to successfully and quickly implement a powerful, comprehensive monitoring solution that gave them a unified view across WebSphere MQ, TIBCO EMS, and their own homegrown messaging systems in their complex new SOA environment.

Nastel AutoPilot™ In combined EAI and SOA environments

This white paper explores the need for real-time, on-demand measurement of key IT infrastructure metrics from a solution that can help data centers and application development and support groups to monitor and control heterogeneous application infrastructure in combined EAI and SOA environments.

Managing Banking Transactions for Operational Excellence

In this White Paper, learn how many banks are meeting requirements for timeliness and accuracy, how business unit leaders are utilizing new technologies to track and control transactions as they flow through the application domain.

Nastel AutoPilot M6™

This paper examines how real-time, on-demand measurement of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the ability to process and recognize patterns of Complex Events can be leveraged for end-to-end visibility into applications, from both transactional and business service perspectives. It illustrates how proactive problem prevention, rather than problem detection, is today helping organizations meet SLAs by achieving 100% availability and reliability for business critical applications.

Transaction Tracking within Messaging Infrastructures

As IT environments and application infrastructures continue to get more complex, assuring the successful and timely completion of core business transactions, and meeting the SLA's around business transaction performance, has created the need for tracking the exchange between IT services and their corresponding business services from inception full circle to completion. This paper examines the construct of transactions and discusses the potential problems that occur and how you can minimize the impact.
