About The Customer
AmberPoint is a company that provides the world's most widely distributed and implemented solutions for governing and managing composite applications. Utilizing a policy-based approach to manage the health and well-being of services-based systems, AmberPoint enables its enterprise customers to better understand system behavior, manage each transaction flowing across their distributed environments, and implement policies that automate performance management, remedy exceptional conditions, and uphold security. The company’s customers are enterprises, government agencies and leading software companies who run high-transaction systems, many of which are mission-critical and high-value. They turn to AmberPoint for reliable, comprehensive solutions for runtime governance of their composite applications.
The Challenge
AmberPoint provides solutions for governing and managing composite applications for enterprises, government agencies, and leading software companies. These clients run high-transaction systems, many of which are mission-critical and high-value. They rely on AmberPoint for reliable, comprehensive solutions for runtime governance of their composite applications. However, AmberPoint faced a decision about the data presentation layer of its service level agreement management function. The requirements called for Web-based information access for ad hoc reporting needs and formatted PDF report distribution for standardized uptime reports. If an OEM solution were to be selected, it needed to offer the flexibility of control that an internally developed one would have offered. AmberPoint sought to avoid limitations in an API that would impede the ongoing development of new core application features and their related information reporting needs. Lastly, the technology needed to be easy enough to implement and deploy that attendant costly consulting services could be avoided.
The Solution
AmberPoint started its research with analyst reports of vendors in the business intelligence space, and then narrowed the field to a handful of providers to evaluate technically. In the end the company selected InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise application, the publishing product in Style Intelligence, InetSoft’s complete business intelligence platform. Style Report Enterprise’s focus on reporting and data access which results in a light-weight embeddable application differentiated it from bulkier all-inclusive business intelligence solutions. Another key differentiator was InetSoft’s experience with developing an API that other developers depend on for embedding applications into their solutions. While InetSoft also offers full-featured stand-alone business intelligence applications, it stood out from others who focused more on the pre-packaged application and only offered a rudimentary API. Finally, with just basic training and extensive API documentation, AmberPoint was able to rapidly learn how to code with an API familiar to all JavaScript developers.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
