Boulder, Colorado – June 12^th 2008 Managed Methods Inc. (www.managedmethods.com ) the provider of cost effective agentless SOA management products today announced availability of their flagship SOA management product JaxView as a soft appliance. JaxView has several different deployment options including XML/Firewall, Agentless, Agent stub and ESB integration. JaxView is offered as an appliance in all of its deployment options. As well, JaxView is the only agentless SOA runtime governance solution to be available both in software and soft appliance form.

Visibility and Control (governance) over an SOA environment are paramount to success of any SOA initiative; however, many times it is pushed down the priority stack because of its cost of deployment. This cost normally appears in hours spent during installation and testing of the governance tool.

This soft appliance will be deployed using the flexible options in JaxView which include:

• Agentless with a network analyzer to enforce SLA policies
• Gateway for enforcement of policies such as XML Firewall policies and Light ESB policies such as routing and throttling of messages
• With agents for platforms such as J2EE and .Net
• Integration with ESB’s and other JMS enabled message brokers

“Deployment of our agentless feature, which manages the Web Services environment by looking at traffic off the network, just got easier,” said Managed Methods CTO Al Aghili.

“With this soft appliance it is as easy as plug and play. Connect our appliance to any switch on your network and JaxView will automatically discover all of your services and start monitoring them within minutes,” said Aghili.

The appliance is available in hardware format where Managed Methods installs and configures JaxView on a server platform of your choice specifically designed for the load in your environment. The server is then shipped to you or can be downloaded to be installed on any VMWare Player, VMWare Server, or VMWare ESX.

JaxView Soft Appliance is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms. The cost of this appliance is $11999 per cpu of the appliance plus the cost of the server if bought already installed on a server. For more information please visit, www.managedmethods.com
