Borland and Segue Collaborate to Optimize Performance, Reduce Risk
and Deliver ROI in Mission Critical J2EE Environments Combined
Borland Optimizeit ServerTrace and Segue SilkPerformer Solution and
Methodology to Boost Application Performance and Eliminate
Bottlenecks LEXINGTON, Mass. and SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., June 2
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Segue Software (NASDAQ:SEGU), the leader
in software quality optimization, and Borland Software Corporation
(NASDAQ:BORL), a world leader in platform independent software
development and deployment solutions, today announced a strategic
relationship. The two companies will jointly market a comprehensive
J2EE(TM) solution and methodology for optimizing the performance of
enterprise Java(TM) applications. The joint offering is comprised
of Segue's SilkPerformer(R), an enterprise load and performance
testing solution, and Borland(R) Optimizeit(TM) ServerTrace, an
in-depth J2EE root-cause analysis solution, the performance
management component of the Borland(R) Application Lifecycle
Management (ALM) technology set. With the combination of these two
products, customers obtain an end-to-end solution for proactively
meeting performance targets for J2EE applications by eliminating
application bottlenecks. Today, there exists tremendous business
risk and revenue loss through application outages in
high-transaction, J2EE environments. Market trends clearly
demonstrate that J2EE technology adoption is growing; particularly
in Web-based, mission-critical enterprise applications. J2EE is
becoming a leading technology for use in Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA) and the current trend towards the use of SOAs
further increases the need for a robust load testing and root-cause
analysis solution to ensure acceptable levels of performance.
"Growth in the development of transaction-intensive, enterprise
J2EE applications has underscored the criticality for the
performance testing of J2EE applications, prior to deployment.
Borland and Segue deliver a powerful lifecycle approach for
performance management, offering a solution that can test from the
end-user perspective and also easily diagnose performance-
impacting issues deep within the J2EE tiers," said Kevin Gallagher,
vice president of Research and Reporting at Newport Group. "The
combined solution drastically reduces the risk, time and expense of
resolving performance issues to better meet the needs of enterprise
customers." Successful implementation of critical e-business
applications depends on proper planning, testing and management of
applications, both before and after deployment. The Borland/Segue
solution and methodology are specifically targeted at helping
organizations minimize the risk of application downtime and
efficiently leverage QA and development resources on tuning
activities that will have immediate impact. Organizations use
SilkPerformer to model anticipated user load and surface
performance vulnerabilities, proactively. Performance testing is
critical, as even the most well-designed application 'breaks' at
relatively low Virtual User (VU) levels in initial performance
testing. Once SilkPerformer has uncovered a performance problem,
Borland's Optimizeit ServerTrace quickly captures and reports on
deep root-cause diagnostics information from within all J2EE
application tiers. Whether the performance issue exists in an
application, server or back-end system, Optimizeit ServerTrace can
pinpoint not only the individual component and method -- but also
the actual line of code in which the problem resides. Further,
integration with Borland ALM technologies, allows issues to be
corrected at the code level for rapid resolution with Borland
JBuilder, the market leading Java development environment. "The key
advantage of the Borland approach is the ability to troubleshoot
complex, enterprise applications and immediately isolate problems
and communicate them in an unambiguous way to development teams who
can then take action to correct critical problems in the code,"
commented Boz Elloy, senior vice president of Software Products at
Borland. "Combining load testing approaches with the appropriate
level of J2EE diagnostic information offers a powerful performance
solution for our joint customers." "Collaboration between the
quality assurance and development teams is key to making any
application a success," said Rohit Gupta, vice president of
alliances at Segue. "The strategic relationship with Borland
provides our joint customers the capability to performance test in
J2EE environments in tandem by quickly identifying and resolving
issues deep within the J2EE tier as problems are uncovered. Swift
identification and resolution of performance issues increases staff
productivity, resource efficiency and return on investment in all
phases of application deployment." About Borland Borland Software
