BEIJING, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEAWORLD 2006 -- BEA Systems, Inc. , a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced JRockit(R) Mission Control 2.0, the latest version of the most advanced tool for monitoring and optimizing application behavior at the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) level. Using JRockit Mission Control 2.0, enterprises can achieve the performance and reliability required to run mission-control applications on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) through precise metering with the core infrastructure.

JRockit Mission Control is designed to provide low overhead, non-intrusive instrumentation for Java in development and production environments. New features built into 2.0 include support for the Eclipse graphical user interface (GUI), integration with the Eclipse IDE and WebLogic Workshop environments, and enhanced behavior monitoring and customizability, which can help enable high optimization of both performance and hardware utilization for the virtualized enterprise.

Additional features include drag-and-drop monitoring customization, context-sensitive online help, view customization, auto-discovery of running JVMs and access to more detailed diagnostics information around Deterministic Garbage Collection, via the JRockit Management Console and Java Runtime Analyzer.

"BEA is extending its leadership role in application platform instrumentation with this release," said Guy Churchward, vice president and general manager of the Java Runtime Products Group at BEA Systems. "In addition to providing greater support for open source development, JRockit Mission Control 2.0 supports BEA's Virtualized strategy, also announced today, and is uniquely designed to allow Java customers moving towards virtualized computing to achieve unprecedented improvements in performance and efficiency."

A key component of BEA SOA 360, JRockit Mission Control is designed to provide more visibility into application and service operations than any other Java environment, which is particularly important for developers and operations managers. This line of sight view supports a cornerstone of the SOA 360 framework -- that is the ability of each stakeholder in a SOA environment to see everything about the system relevant to him or her.

Announced earlier this year, BEA SOA 360 spans the three BEA product families -- BEA AquaLogic(TM), BEA WebLogic(R), and BEA Tuxedo(R) and is designed for business transformation and optimization in order to improve cost structures and grow new revenue streams.
