Hollis, NH — December 8, 2003 — Mindreef, Inc. today announced it is
working with Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) to support
its Unicenter Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) solution. A
leading Web services diagnostics provider, Mindreef will integrate its
SOAPscope™ software with Unicenter WSDM, enabling developers, testers
and application support technicians to "drill down" to any desired
level of granularity during problem resolution in both pre-deployment
and post-deployment stages of the new service-oriented lifecycle. Mindreef SOAPscope is the industry’s first Web Services Diagnostics
System. This emerging category of products addresses the challenges of
isolating and solving problems of applications built with Web services
throughout the development, testing and management process. With over
3,000 copies now in use, SOAPscope is gaining broad adoption as an
easy-to-use, platform-independent tool.
"Bugs and interoperability issues in Web services can quickly spread
throughout a system, making the source extremely difficult to identify.
Now, the tool developers use to find and fix problems during
development is available to fix product problems -- reducing resolution
time and minimizing service interruptions," said Mark Ericson, CTO of
Mindreef. "By receiving SOAP faults detected from Unicenter WSDM,
SOAPscope drills down to root causes with a comprehensive suite of
tools that add value to all stages of the service oriented lifecycle."
Unicenter WSDM enables IT organizations to closely track a full range
of performance indicators and rapidly respond to service interruptions.
While other vendors offer point products that address isolated elements
of Web services management, CA is uniquely able to address the full
spectrum of Web services systems management, including integrated
management of the underlying infrastructure.
"Mindreef’s sophisticated SOAPscope solution was the natural choice as
the 'drill down' solution for Unicenter WSDM," said Dmitri Tcherevik,
vice president of Web services at CA. "Our collaboration with Mindreef
further extends CA’s leadership position in the Web services management
space — allowing customers to discover and remedy performance and
integrity issues throughout the entire services lifecycle."
