October 26, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Bracknell, UK; October 24, 2007 - Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for Business-Smart Networking, today announced a new advanced version of Inflight, Inflight 3.0, which provides users with the ability to deploy their business event delivery platform across the enterprise with the utmost ease, in real-time and with zero impact to applications or users. As the industry’s only pervasive network-based event platform that delivers real-time business events to applications across the enterprise, Inflight 3.0 boasts new innovative features which will facilitate and speed deployment for customers in response to the ever-changing business environment. Inflight 3.0 has incorporated a multitude of features which focus on three critical areas for deploying solutions more efficiently: Solution Templates, Administrative User Interface Capabilities and Business Event Support. Together they provide enterprise customers with the platform they need to transform their IT operations into a real-time, event driven enterprise.
1. Template Solutions
The templates are an out-of-the-box and easy-to-deploy solution designed to give customers a jump-start on the complex process of authoring data feeds to business systems such as enterprise fraud or compliance. Built on Radware’s innovative Inflight Template Language (ITL), the templates also offer customers the flexibility to adapt them to their unique or specific business needs with a simple, tree-based operation. Radware will initially offer a library of more than a dozen pre-built templates for solutions including Performance Monitoring, Customer Experience Management, Service Level Agreement (SLA) Monitoring, Click-Stream Analysis, and more. It will partner with leading system vendors to continue the build-out of a core library. Additional plans include the launch of an online portal to provide end-user, partner, and developer community access to the open-standard templates.
2. Administrative User Interface Capabilities Inflight 3.0 has streamlined the administrative user interface for easier configuration. Enhancements include animated charts for viewing operational statistics, improved ease-of-use in defining data extraction and formatting and a web service-based approach which provides the possibility to write one’s own administrative tools. Additional capabilities include enhanced message output formatting, flexible content parsing and template-based execution. The User Interface greatly enhances the breadth of use of Inflight and produces more efficiency in making changes.
3. Stateful Business Support
Inflight 3.0 can deliver even more value as it captures full transactional details including user ID and requests – across and between sessions. Additionally, it allows for the correlation across disjointed transactions and sessions. Creating a continuous view of usage and providing contextual analysis of transactions enables companies to better understand user interaction.
Paul Bilden, General Manager for Radware’s Inflight Group explained that, “We are fulfilling a need expressed by partners for a real-time event delivery platform for online applications, which are easily deployable and can effortlessly handle large transaction volumes that are critical to businesses. Already implemented by our renowned global customers in highly secure, fault-tolerant, evolving environments, Inflight 3.0, is a proven solution to issues faced by ever changing business needs.”
“Additionally, Inflight plays a valuable role in Radware’s Business-Smart Network strategy as it delivers the business-event intelligence embedded in the network traffic enabling the network to optimise business decisions and processes in real-time,” Bilden added.
“Our Cognos Now! family of operational business intelligence solutions provide customers with real-time information to help them more proactively track, monitor and respond to continuously up-to-date operational metrics, with minimal IT intervention. By filtering and feeding critical events information into Cognos Now!, Radware’s Inflight solution will help extend the value of our real-time operational BI offering to customers,” said Jennifer Francis, Vice President of Market Development at Cognos.
Inflight 3.0 is the ideal solution for users who are looking to reap the benefits from using a real-time business event delivery platform which is easy to deploy across the enterprise with zero impact to applications or users. Radware has responded to the needs of an ever changing business environment by developing a platform which incorporates new innovative key features to further ensure more effective results.
