More organisations are turning to Java applications for business-critical functions.
This is according to Muhammed Omar, BMC Software product manager of enterprise system management. Java applications have allowed companies to streamline operations and eliminate layers of insulation between customers and their corporate data, he explains.
Java can be a common denominator in an organisation`s IT environment, he says. The fundamental premise of Java is that if all platforms speak the same language, companies can reduce the cost of hard-wiring connections, via proprietary means between different applications on different platforms, he explains.
Customers have come to expect instantaneous data access, 24/7 availability and high-quality service, Omar notes. However, this creates many potential "points of failure", between, for instance, operating systems, Web application servers and network servers.
"Each point of failure must be managed," he says, adding: "A Java application management solution can aid in removing operational risks and provide end-user solutions for internal and external customers."
BMC`s Java application management solution addresses three key areas: operating systems, Web application servers and Web server management, says Omar.
By segmenting Java application management into three core disciplines, he points out, the simplicity of a solution design and the necessary complexities of the solution`s functional ability are combined.
"The uptake among South African organisations has been fairly positive. The local target market are clients whose business-critical applications run on Java, including banks, telecommunications companies and government," Omar states.
