REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) and WebTrends Corp., the leader and pioneer in Web management and traffic analysis, have teamed to give developers an easy way to evaluate Web site management and analysis software at no risk. Oracle(R) Application Server 4.0, currently in beta will include sixty-day trial versions of WebTrends' Professional Suite, Enterprise Suite and Log Analyzer. After the trial period, licenses may be purchased directly from WebTrends.
Oracle Application Server 4.0 is planned for shipment during the first quarter of 1998. The beta version will be available for download at (URL) olab.com.
"Oracle Application Server 4.0 will allow customers to quickly and easily Web-enable business applications," said Rod Butters, vice president of Application Server Product and Program Management at Oracle. "Once deployed, customers need to analyze and understand the traffic on their sites. The WebTrends solution offers our customers excellent tools for managing their Web sites."
"As organizations move their business applications to the Web, the need to understand the efficacy of Web sites has become a critical element in decision support data," said Glen Boyd, president of WebTrends Corporation. "The opportunity to gather, analyze and act upon data coming in from various Web sites has never been greater, or more important. We are therefore very pleased that Oracle has chosen WebTrends' products to bundle with the Oracle Application Server 4.0."
Oracle Application Server is Oracle's strategic software platform for deploying business-critical, thin-client applications with superior scalability, reliability and manageability. Building on the award-winning version 3.0, Oracle Application Server enables organizations to deploy and manage applications on professionally managed servers, rather than on hundreds or thousands of desktop PCs. As a general-purpose application server, Version 4.0 will support all network clients, including PCs and network computers, serving as a universal point of access to any database, application or system. Oracle Application Server 4.0 will integrate the latest industry-standard technologies and distributed object component models, including CORBA 2.0 and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP).
New Java features are designed to make the server 100-percent Java programmable, allowing Java developers to easily program new applications or components in Java, then deploy them within the Oracle Application Server for operation across any operating system or Web server platform. Other new features in Oracle Application Server 4.0 will include enhanced transaction capabilities, improved Windows NT integration, and enhanced server management features.
WebTrends offers three products that analyze Internet and intranet log files of any size-even those greater than 10 Gbytes (40 million hits/day) -- from any Web server. The newly-released WebTrends Professional Suite is the first complete Web management solution, integrating log file analysis, proxy server analysis, and Web site link analysis and quality control in one box. The WebTrends Enterprise Suite includes all functions of the Professional Suite, as well as the ability to export WebTrends analysis to high-end database servers, such as Oracle. The award-winning WebTrends Log Analyzer is essential for anyone with a Web site, providing critical information such as top referring Web sites, top requested pages, top paths through the site and much more. It offers extraordinarily fast reporting by processing log files in real time, storing the analysis in a database, and running reports on the already-analyzed data.
WebTrends Log Analyzer has received numerous international awards, including ZDNet Editors' Pick, PC Week's IT Excellence Award, Best of LAN Times, Internet World's Best of Test, Network Computing Best Value, Federal Computer Week's Government Best Buy, and the PC User Gold Award (see webtrends.com
