SOA Management
Do you know how your service-oriented architecture (SOA) is performing? Are transactions getting lost? Who’s accessing your services? The dynamic SOA world gives rise to significant SOA management challenges and business risks. Without visibility and control, you might be putting your SOA at risk or, worse, your business. If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it.
Do you have the "big picture" view of your entire SOA?
Progress® Actional® gives you the end-to-end visibility, policy-based governance and performance monitoring you need to manage your SOA in a distributed, multi-platform environment.
The Progress Difference
"Actional could handle our heavy transaction loads with little performance impact. That's where it stands head and shoulders above the competition."
- Eric Norman, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
See business transactions flow across your SOA—Actional traces business transactions across system boundaries using “always on” discovery of services, relationships and processes across databases, middleware and even BPM solutions. This gives you a “big picture” view of your end-to-end SOA environment.
Zero coding, zero configuration—With Actional you can automatically discover new services and processes in your SOA and dynamically apply policies to them. Author your polices just once, and then apply them consistently across your SOA without any coding or configuration. Now you’re free to change and expand your SOA without the fear that something may slip through the cracks.
Don’t let the cure be worse than the disease—Actional gives you complete visibility using less than 2 percent of CPU for each managed node and can scale across 1,000 nodes with a single management server. Unlike other management offerings, you don’t have to sacrifice 30 percent CPU utilization to get complete visibility and management.
