Possible Clusters

Clustering

> Multiple application servers grouped together so they appear as one

> Utilize cluster technology inherent in BEA WebLogic application server to provide:– Multi-user scalability– Performance scalability– Load balancing– Fault tolerance

Extreme Performance and Scalability

> Manugistics Innovation: Distributed Node Architecture– Provides unmatched performance for long-running processes– Failover ensures continuous business operation

> J2EE Standard– Protects your investment by leveraging open standards– Provides multi-user and real-time services scalability

NodeA service optimized for executing long-running processes

Multi-threaded, multi-stage pipeline

SwarmA group of autonomous Nodes that work collectively to accomplish a defined objective

Distributed Node Architecture

> Distribution – Single service execution over “n” machines – Run single service execution as “n” processes on the same machine– Distribute multiple services over “n” machines

• Support load balancing• Support fault tolerance

> Execution– Service requests queued then assigned to nodes (worker

processes)– Specify individual units of work that can be assigned to a node– Execution of units of work coordinated between nodes

Pipeline Architecture

> Intra-Process Architecture

> Insensitivity to read and write latency

Analogy

> Steps

Wash (30 minutes) Dry (30 minutes) Iron/Fold (30 minutes) Put away (30 minutes)

> How long does it take to process– 1 load?– 2 loads?– 3 loads?– 4 loads?

Reduced Investment

> Reduced Licensing Costs– Oracle Database Server can be split from Application and Algorithm Servers

• Oracle licensed by number of CPUs

> Reduced Hardware Costs– Processes are server independent– Example:

• 16 CPUs are required: May be deployed in following configurations:– Four 4xCPU Sun V480 – List Price 4 x $35,000 = $140K– Two 8xCPU Sun V880 – List Price 2 x $86,000 = $172K– One 16xCPU Sun Fire 12K – List Price 1 x $933,000 = $933K

Purpose of WebConnect

“To provide easy, reliable, scalable and economic method to integrate applications, data sources and

processes with and between Manugistics’ applications.”

WebConnect Product Suite

: Business Integration Studio – EAI Framework

: Data Integrator – ETL Environment

: WebLogic Integration – Inter/Intra-enterprise integration

WebConnect Integrate

> What it does…– Creates integration between Manugistics applications and internal enterprise

applications– Manugistics has developed numerous “Templates” – Pre-configured

integrations between Manugistics and other leading applications– Pre-packaged, vendor-certified building blocks to define business processes– Studio for defining processes, mappings, translations

> How it fits…– Used by customers to deploy internal integrations between applications such

as SAP® R/3 and J.D. Edwards® OneWorld

> Sample clients…– Astec Power, Philippines/China – Sayap Mas Utama,

Indonesia– Arnott’s Biscuits, Australia – Swire Beverages, China– Petronas, Malaysia – WG&A, Philippines– Port of Singapore Authority, Singapore

> What it does… – Pulls large volumes of data out of systems/databases– Strong ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) capabilities– Strong in data-warehouse loading (e.g. NetWORKS™ Analytics implementations)– Intelligent caching, data staging, real-time capabilities

> How if fits…– Powers the WebConnect Integrate solution– ETL for high volume data exchange (e.g. NetWORKS™ Analytics)– Provide connectors to SAP®, Oracle®, strong legacy support

> Sample customers– Albermarle– Guinness Limited– Hunter Douglas– Janssen-Ortho– Monsanto

WebConnect Integrate HV

NetWORKS™ Analytics

> Supports Exploration

> Consistent, sub-second response time

> Applied to multi-dimensional, normally quiet data sets

> Example– Manager is reviewing Revenue by Geography for the current fiscal year and

notices that Europe is lagging other regions. He drills into Europe to view Revenue by Country and notices that Spain is lagging other countries. He drills into Spain to view Revenue by Quarter and notices that the last two quarters have been extremely weak

Formerly known as NetWORKS™ ONEview

NetWORKS™ Reporting

> Provides answers to questions that are known in advance

> Response time varies (dependent on complexity of query)

> Applied to relational data, generally operational

> Example– Show me WalMart’s current open orders.
