Atreve Software Inc. delivered WebSpective Release 2, addressing “the six essential needs” of Web operations management–traffic management, content distribution, crisis management and prevention, performance monitoring, data collection, and centralized site control and administration.
WebSpective increases the performance and availability of e-commerce Web
sites, the company said, freeing corporate Web administrators from having to
contend with server failure and costly downtime.
WebSpective Release 2 provides an “application-first” view from a centralized
console to manage distributed Web applications, not simply host servers or
networks.
Just announced, WebSpective Content Manager securely and intelligently
distributes and synchronizes content updates across multiple live Web servers
without sacrificing server availability during the update process.
WebSpective Traffic Manager provides intelligent load balancing across
distributed Web servers in one or more geographies. It distributes Web-based
connections based on the availability and load of the Web servers that
comprise the site, routing traffic around slowdowns.
WebSpective Crisis Manager automatically resolves crisis situations by
restarting failed Web servers and informing the Traffic Manager to route
traffic around them while they’re down. Also it prevents crises by predicting
failures and taking proactive prevention measures, including alerting Web site administrators.
WebSpective Site Administrator gives operations personnel centralized
observation, configuration and control of all of their Web servers and
applications.
WebSpective Performance Monitor keeps its fingers on the pulse of a site’s Web
applications, Web servers, host machines and network interfaces, monitoring
their load and performance metrics.
Finally, WebSpective SiteStats Manager centralizes the collection and logging
of traffic and performance data for a site’s Web applications, Web servers and
host machines. The data is centralized in a relational database for flexible
reporting and analysis.
Pricing for a complete WebSpective package is $15,000 per server. Atreve
provides consulting services, training and 24-x-7 technical support.
WebSpective runs on Sun Solaris 2.51 or higher and Windows NT 4.0 or higher,
and integrates with Web servers that are Netscape (NSAPI) or Microsoft IIS
(ISAPI) compliant.
