BEA, Mercury offer lifecycle solution

BANGALORE: BEA Systems, Inc. and Mercury Interactive Corporation today announced a strategic alliance to help customers deliver more consistent, predictable and measurable business outcomes from SOA initiatives.





Mercury and BEA will provide customers using WebLogic and JRockit with industry-leading diagnostic products for solving application performance issues and detecting memory leaks in mission critical applications.





Both the companies signed a cross-licensing agreement and plan to exclusively bundle Mercury Diagnostics Profiler with new versions of JRockit and BEA WebLogic Server, and distribute BEA's JRockit Mission Control diagnostic toolset to Mercury Diagnostics customers.





In addition, BEA will also use Mercury Application Management and Application Delivery offerings, such as Mercury Diagnostics and Mercury LoadRunner, as the preferred performance management solution of choice for support, critical situations and proofs of concept.





JRockit Mission Control is a suite of diagnostic tools specifically designed to give customers deeper access into the WebLogic stack in order to monitor, manage, profile and detect memory leaks and performance issues that can occur during development. In combination with Mercury Diagnostics and Mercury Diagnostics Profiler, IT managers will be able to detect and resolve performance problems earlier in the application lifecycle.
