OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 3 - iSpheres Corporation, pioneer of
real-time event management platforms, announced today the availability of
Version 4 of iSpheres Halo Event Server. iSpheres Halo allows organizations to
rapidly deploy applications that monitor critical events from distributed
sources and business processes and trigger alerts according to user-defined
criteria. iSpheres customers are using iSpheres Halo for payment processing,
risk management, trading, counterintelligence, and homeland security, among
others.
In a separate release, iSpheres announced today iSpheres BAM (Business
Activity Monitoring) Pilot Program to IT developers who want to download
iSpheres Halo and configure BAM applications in one week.
According to IT research firm Gartner, "Enterprises will achieve new
levels of flexibility and a deeper understanding of their business processes
by applying the techniques of complex-event processing (CEP) to their daily
work. Enterprises will achieve new levels of flexibility and a deeper
understanding of their business processes by applying the techniques of
complex-event processing (CEP) to their daily work."(1)
"Existing event management technologies have failed to deliver the
flexibility and performance required to manage true real-time environments,"
said David Dawson, Vice President of Marketing of iSpheres Corporation. "The
organizations that are using iSpheres Halo for their BAM initiatives are
outpacing the rest of their market by managing highly fluid business
operations with greater speed and accuracy."
Enhanced Event Processing Capabilities -- To handle the complexities
associated with disparate data environments, Version 4 adds two additional
methods for event processing: time-series and text-based. Time-series event
processing detects change conditions over a moving time window -- for example,
moving price averages or network performance degradation. Text-based event
processing detects anomalies in unstructured data sources -- for example
email, news stories, and instant messages.
Improved Scalability -- To manage large numbers of users and fast-changing
data environments, Version 4 filters, normalizes, detects and responds to over
100,000 events per second on a 2-CPU Intel processor.
Faster Time to Deployment -- To speed application development and
modification, Version 4 provides more pre-built event management modules
including Java sensors that monitor, acquire and publish data to: Mobile
Devices (SMS), Databases (JDBC/SQL), EJBs, Email (SMTP), Instant Messaging
(SMPP), Inter-Router (RMF), Messaging Middleware (JMS, TIB/RV, IBM MQ), SNMP,
OS (Exec), RMI, Web (SOAP, XML, HTTP), Files (FTP, SSH, SCP).

About iSpheres
Founded in 1998, iSpheres is a pioneer in "sense and respond" technology
and launched its first production event server in 2000. Derived from military
command and control systems, event servers monitor distributed data
environments for asynchronous events and execute application functions in
real-time.
The origin of iSpheres is a 10-year research project funded by the
U.S. military and conducted at the California Institute of Technology. The
"Infospheres Project" yielded the algorithms and framework for iSpheres core
technology. iSpheres customers have successfully deployed real-time event
management applications in Trading, Risk Management, Counterintelligence,
Homeland Security, Supply Chain Management, and Logistics. For more
