Nastel's market-leading capabilities for transaction tracing, root cause analysis, performance analysis and determination of business impact enable users to reduce cost, improve service and manage risk. Its flagship AutoPilot(TM) suite and vast array of plug-ins (including Java applications, WebSphere MQ and WMB, TIBCO EMS, ESB and J2EE platforms, such as WebSphere Application Server, WebLogic, JBoss, Oracle 10g, etc.) enable IT and application support teams to achieve visibility and control performance bottlenecks in the parts of the SOA and EAI infrastructure that are otherwise undetected.
