Analyze the performance of the remote calls in your application and find out whether network bandwidth, latency issues or simply application components being too "chatty" is causing a bottleneck. For example, you may discover that your Web Service calls simply transfer too many objects over the wire, thus causing a latency issue. Or, perhaps you’ve been assuming it’s the networks fault, when in fact it’s the serialization of the data that’s slowing you down.

dynaTrace makes it easy to understand how remoting is affecting your Application Performance. Monitoring tools will show you, at best, the average response times of your Tier-to-Tier communications. That might have been sufficient a few years ago, but today’s applications have grown rapidly in complexity due to new technologies like Web20 and SOA that use multiple protocols and rely on both synchronous and asynchronous communication. Analyzing just average response times does not provide the root cause information you need to quickly resolve performance issues in such complex environments.

With dynaTrace's PurePath Technology®, you’ll be able to see each individual remote call made by each and every individual transaction – no more missing out on your scalability issues because you can’t find them in the averages; and you’ll get more than just the response time too – you’ll get visibility into the key metrics including:

• CPU usage
• Latency
• Serialization/de-serialization times
• Traffic (the objects and bytes)

And, dynaTrace's low-overhead collection mechanism means you’ll be capturing this data in the environments where remoting and scalability issues can be found – Production, Staging, and Load Testing.

This means that with dynaTrace, you will quickly and easily take charge of remoting and get your application successfully scaled ever higher. Tackle those tough tasks easily:

• Are you using the correct remoting technologies – are you paying too much for the readability of Web Services?ou be caching more objects locally?
• Which Business Transactions are limiting your ability to scale?
• Do you have specific issues with communication to the Back End Servers in the new Data Center?
