ITKO LISA and dynaTrace Partner for Federated SOA Testing, Validation and Performance Solution

Joint Solution to be Demonstrated at LandWarNet 2008, Leading SOA Testing & Virtualization Platform Combines with Leading SOA Performance Diagnostics Solution

DALLAS, TX, August 13, 2008 -- ITKO LISA, the leading provider of testing, validation and virtualization solutions for SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) and enterprise software, and dynaTrace software, the leader in lifecycle application performance management for complex SOA-based systems, today announce a combined solution that offers defense customers complete visibility into the quality and reliability of key software applications.

LISA allows IT teams to quickly generate events and transactions that appear within the dynaTrace performance management framework, without the need to code a test harness. LISA can also become an Agent that listens to detailed performance metrics coming from dynaTrace - making it an integral part of the enterprise's application management process.

"The ability to provide total visibility, metrics and data sharing between dynaTrace and the LISA SOA testing framework offers the defense IT community a way to ensure the highest service levels of their critical applications," said Chris Dworkin, VP of Solution Architecture for ITKO. "The ability to 'cause the cause' within the application being monitored and share data in the same context literally ties together the effects being viewed, with the root cause as generated by the LISA testing environment."

"With the complexity of SOA-based systems, our customers demand real-time root-cause analysis across tiers," said dynaTrace CTO Bernd Greifeneder. "We can have LISA model the end-to-end workflows, drive user behaviors and provide failure reporting at the component level. dynaTrace integration enables users to pinpoint the root cause of problems in synthetic transactions down to the code - whether Java, .NET or a hybrid of both - and supply rich real-time data for collection into the reporting framework."

Events such as performance failures or boundary conditions within dynaTrace solutions can trigger test workflow execution within LISA, including creating user notifications or error reporting workflows within LISA's Continuous Validation Service. In turn, LISA can also be executed and run from within dynaTrace to provide metrics on the overall quality and functional performance of the software under test over a time period. Both ITKO and dynaTrace executives and engineers will showcase the joint solution at the AFCEA LandWarNet defense industry event, August 19-21, 2008 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (Event info at http://www.afcea.org/events/landwarnet/ ). The team will demonstrate real-world examples of testing and monitoring applications in a net-centric environment, with performance and functional data being shared between ITKO's LISA and dynaTrace's PurePath solutions for maximum visibility.

About dynaTrace

dynaTrace is the leader in lifecycle application performance management - chosen by leaders such as LinkedIn, EnerNOC, AutoTrader, Siemens and UBS - for business-critical Java and .NET applications. dynaTrace's PurePath Technology® is the only solution that captures data on all individual transactions in complex SOA-based environments down to code level by tracing their "PurePath" across multiple physical and logical tiers - even 24x7 under load in production - enabling customers to move beyond monitoring to diagnosis and prevention. In each application lifecycle stage - development, QA, staging, production - IT personnel now can see and understand where and why performance issues exist. With dynaTrace, enterprises gain better understanding of their applications' dynamic behavior and how it impacts their business, allowing them to rapidly reconstruct problems to identify the root-cause and fix it. http://www.dynatrace.com
