Overview

While Web services are being heralded as a revolution in application development and integration, the underlying concerns for managing production systems have not changed:

• Ensuring application availability and performance
  
  
• Responding to service problems quickly
  
  
• Minimizing the overhead of systems management
  
  
• Implementing management without disruption to production systems
  
  
• Finding a cost-effective solution

SIFT, Service Integrity’s Web services monitoring and analysis software, is purpose-built to satisfy these requirements.

SIFT was designed from the ground up for monitoring and analysis of Web services. Its patent pending rules-based stream processing approach provides full visibility into Web services messages with minimal overhead/performance penalty on the services it is monitoring.

SIFT is a uniquely non-intrusive solution that can be implemented in a few hours, without modification to application code or network topology. It provides complete visibility into the existence, availability and health of Web services. Further, SIFT can inspect the contents of all Web service messages and express service health in terms business owners understand.
