To make decisions confidently and seize new opportunities, your agency needs to rely on the quality and integrity of your processes, systems and applications to provide relevant, timely information.

New Web and SOA-based applications are making it harder than ever before to ensure that applications consistently provide the intended functionality and accurate results. And increasing concerns about information security and regulatory compliance have elevated the importance of application security and vulnerability assessment.

At the same time, these distributed online systems must be able to deliver high levels of performance, regardless of application complexity or user load. This requires a continual focus on application performance management (APM) throughout the application lifecycle, especially during the design and testing phases. Of course, good performance is never purely a function of the application itself. That's why it is equally important to provide a high-performance production environment for the actual execution of those applications.

The Best of All Worlds

Three Wire Systems creates Application Integrity and Protection solutions (AIP) that address all of these requirements. Our unique approach delivers the benefits of a custom-designed system configured precisely to the needs of your agency, as well as the robust and proven capabilities of commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS). We have established partnerships with carefully-selected product vendors that together offer a set of complementary ‘best of breed' components which we then integrate into complete AIP solutions.

You benefit from the deep expertise Three Wire has gained through successful delivery of multi-million dollar projects in the federal, state, and private sectors. We analyze your agency's unique blend of applications and infrastructure, propose the optimal configuration to address your specific needs, and then deliver the expert consulting services needed to create and deploy a comprehensive, cost-effective, and extensible AIP solution.

Vendor Profiles

APPLICATION INTEGRITY: iTKO LISA™

iTKO's LISA ensures the quality and integrity of SOA-based applications across all phases of the development, testing and deployment lifecycle. It validates the functionality of every component of business logic, user interface, and SOA workflow; as well as the high-risk-of-failure points where multiple technologies intercoonect. LISA enables ‘out of the box' testing —without coding—for the majority of tools and technologies used in today's distributed applicatoins, and also offers extensibility into legacy applications and components.

APPLICATION SECURITY: CENZIC HAILSTORM® ENTERPRISE

Hailstorm Enterprise ARC™ (Application Risk Controller) provides risk management for functional groups from development to operations, and across the entire application lifecycle. It scans and analyzes the security of your agency's Web applications, and prioritizes vulnerabiilities with HARM™, the industry's first and only quantitative score. Hailstorm also enables safe testing of production applications in virtualized environments.

APPLICATION PERFORMANCE: DYNATRACE DIAGNOSTICS®

dynaTrace Diagnostics is a Lifecycle APM (Application Performance Management) solution that prevents performance issues in distributed Java/.NET and SOA applications at all phases of the application lifecycle by precisely monitoring performance , identifying the root causes of bottlenecks, and accelerating resolution by developers.

PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE: PARABON® FRONTIER®

Parabon's Frontier Enterprise is a grid computing platform that accelerates the performance of compute-intensive applications, such as data mining and intelligence analysis, by aggregating the excess capacity of multiple computers and clusters within your agency into a secure high-performance computing (HPC) environment.

Benefits Of A Custom AIP Solution From Three Wire Systems:

• Mitigates the risk of costly failures at every phase of the application lifecycle by addressing the rapid change and complexity inherent in distributed Web and SOA applications
• Ensures compliance with regulatory standards, guidelines, and your agenciy's own IT policies by validating and documenting that applications are stable, secure and functionally correct
• Improves decision speed and quality by making accurate, high-value data available on both an intra- and inter-agency basis.
• Reduces the timeframe and high cost of maintenance required to address application performance and functionaltiy problems.
• Complies with Executive Order 13423 (energy efficiency and reuse of resources) by delivering high-performance computing with existing hardware and no additional energy.
• Increases trust across teams and shared technology assets by enabling SOA Publishers (developers and QA teams) to work together with SOA Consumers (analysts and end users) to define and automate continuous functional and performance testing.
