ILOG, a leading provider of enterprise-class software components and services, today announced that it will provide ILOG JViews to enhance the usability of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance solution, part of the IBM Tivoli systems management offering. The award-winning ILOG JViews will enable Tivoli customers to graphically visualise the flow of a transaction or group of transactions via sophisticated, realistic graphics - providing faster, more proactive problem determination for customers using IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance. The monitoring product now provides the cutting edge capability to discover and display dynamically a J2EE transaction in a graphical fashion.

The advanced visualisation provided by JViews will give users the ability to recognise and isolate application performance problems through dynamic graphical models that map real-time transactions to the resources and components on which the applications run.

'We regard the addition of ILOG JViews as breakthrough technology that can help us increase and improve the ease-of-use of our products,' said Don O'Toole, director, market management for IBM Tivoli.

'Integrating ILOG JViews into IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance enhances the ease-of-use of the interface, making problem detection more straightforward and ensuring we continue to provide best-of-breed solutions to our customers.' IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance delivers highly reliable transaction management for Web and enterprise infrastructure, helping users avoid critical performance problems and enabling smooth operations for customers and other end-users.

Using ILOG JViews, Tivoli customers such as online retailers can monitor the flow and performance of either individual or groups of purchase transactions, from start to finish, determining the transaction response time and the source of delay.

If a problem is found, ILOG JViews' intuitive graphical modeling allows users to visually locate the component that is causing the delay in order to help them correct it immediately.
