Tivoli Software Composite Applications Have Unique Needs A Composite Web Application, Involving J 2

Tivoli Software Composite Applications Have Unique Needs A Composite Web Application, Involving J 2 EE, Integration Middleware and Legacy Systems § Business processes increasingly depend on multi-tier composite applications • Composite applications use business logic and data from sources spanning multiple systems and transactional environments § Composite applications are difficult to design, build, test and manage for high performance and availability • Many applications are not meeting performance expectations in production • Customers are dissatisfied with application downtime § Traditional management processes and tools exacerbate the problem • Application lifecycle processes and tools do not follow transactions end-to-end • Unable to proactively recognize and prevent performance problems at the end user 55 2005 IBM Corporation ©© 2004 IBM Corporation

Tivoli Software IBM Tivoli Positioned in the Leader Quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant J 2 EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant 4 April 2005 Research Note by Cameron Haight The J 2 EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant is copyrighted April 2005 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission. Gartner's permission to print or reference its magic quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The magic quadrant is Gartner's opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner-defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a magic quadrant is based on the complex interplay of many factors. Gartner does not advise enterprises to select only those firms in the leaders segment. In some situations, firms in the visionary, challenger, or niche player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a magic quadrant. Gartner research is intended to be one of many information sources and the reader should not rely solely on the magic quadrant for decision-making.
