September 22, 2008 – San Francisco, CA – Evident Software announced today the release of Evident ClearStone® Live for Oracle® Coherence (“ECS Live”) at Oracle OpenWorld 2008. ECS Live puts an intuitive and powerful “face” on Coherence, enabling users to better monitor, manage and optimize their data grids. It helps developers and architects optimize performance and resource usage, enables operations staff to track cache activity and data grid health before outages affect the business, and helps the business and IT better plan and manage their applications’ demand for shared, virtual data cache resources. Related products address the compute grid infrastructure.
Evident ClearStone Live for Oracle Coherence (“ECS Live”) offers innovative real-time visualizations, based on Adobe® Flex®, that run on most browsers. ECS Live embeds an autonomic operational cache, based on Oracle Coherence, which enables ‚Äòflight recorder’ capabilities. ECS Live offers the following features and benefits:
| 1. | Advanced visualizations, including user-annotated time series charts, heat maps, node dashboards and an event viewer. These visualizations provide intuitive, seamless access to real time cluster, cache, node, and TCP-Extend session statistics and analytics. |
| 2. | Single, integrated toolset for time correlated monitoring, troubleshooting and trending of cluster performance. This takes time and pain out of manual monitoring using tools like JConsole, which cannot scale up. |
| 3. | It records performance metrics into the OpCache (up to 24 hours), eliminating MBean collection via slow JMX interfaces. |
| 4. | Visibility into TCP-Extend sessions and nodes via the deployment of a single JAR file. |
| 5. | No additional operational overhead. |
| 6. | Easy to install, configure and use. |
| 7. | Supports email and SNMP alerts to management systems. |
“Real-time applications and infrastructures like Coherence require innovative, service-oriented visibility. Evident ClearStone Live condenses large amounts of data into dashboards, heat maps, trends and events that can are readily used by developers, operations and users,” comments Roger Boyce, CEO. “This improves on current methods that are incomplete or slow, often leaving users unable to efficiently manage high performance, distributed computing environments. Evident gives both IT and the business a window into what is and has happened in their Coherence environments within the context of the end to end grid and application services.”
Installation and Pricing
The installation is lightweight and scalable across multiple servers. ECS Live includes a custom Coherence MBeanServer and Adapter for rapid deployment, and contains a self-managed OpCache. Trial software may be obtained by contacting sales@evidentsoftware.com.
