Integration Infrastructure Management
Integration Infrastructure is the nervous system of every digitally integrated business carrying digital signals within and across the business ecosystem.
This infrastructure, often referred to as middleware, is the fabric that powers modern organizations and when it fails – business fails.
Effective management of Integration Infrastructure reduces operational risk, increases agility and enables new business opportunities.
Nastel’s Integration Infrastructure Management Platform provides advanced management capabilities to the messaging middleware admins, and allows developers and QA teams to fully manage their own middleware requirements in a secure and private portal.

Cut Costs
Cut Costs By Reducing Incidents – slash the frequency, duration, and impact of incidents with real-time monitoring and automated trending that eliminates false alarms and detects issues before users notice them.
-
Business Transactions
Understand How Transaction Flows Affect Your Business in Real-Time – discover and track transactions, “stitching” or correlating them together in real-time across distributed systems, mainframes and corporate firewalls.
-
Root Cause Analysis
Rapid Root-Cause Analysis – when problems do occur, instantly uncover the root-cause of problems with tracking that provides the visibility and detail necessary to begin immediate remediation.
Transaction Tracking & Analytics
Middleware is essential for building scalable, on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud applications.
Use the knowledge you have already embedded in your messaging middleware platforms to visualize how each user’s engagement flows through your entire application stack. Then compare each engagement (transaction) with the historical record to quickly identify anomalies using a wide range of machine learning (A.I.) algorithms to proactively and also predictively identify performance events. Read more about the Nastel XRay platform component or about Transaction Tracking.
-
Machine Learning
Use Machine Learning to predict events- Visualize your entire application stack as topology flow diagrams
- Overlay performance data for each system
- Identify anomalies both predictively and proactively
- Use machine learning to present probable root cause analysis
- Integrate live views into your dash boarding apps
-
Transaction Tracing & Tracking
Visualize the pathway a user's experience follows through your entire application stack- Trace the pathway of each transaction (or event)
- Track each transaction, comparing it the historical record
- Overlay performance data from each system or component
- Report on any anomalies
-
Analytics
Understand the impact of each system on the user's experience- Compare each transaction or group of transaction to the historical record
- Visualize data in meaningful ways
- Identify and report on KPI's
- Present live data in your own dash boarding applications
