Factors driving change in APM
Application Performance Management has for years been viewed simply as monitoring production applications
by providing statistical/aggregated performance metrics in individual data centers. In today’s application environment, however, this
traditional approach no longer suffices.
- As business stakeholders depend more and more on applications, and development is pulled in more frequently to fire-fight complex application issues, both groups require insight specific to their needs into application performance from live production environments.
- As defects found later in the application lifecycle are exponentially more expensive than those found earlier, it is also critical to find and resolve them as early as possible to keep projects within compressed time and budget constraints.
- As virtualization and SOA result in more dynamic and globally-distributed services and infrastructures, APM solutions need to support those environments and their constant changes without requiring manual interaction.
New Approach to APM Covering the Entire Software Lifecycle
The intense pressures facing IT necessitate a new approach to overcome the limitations of traditional APM.
dynaTrace delivers on this promise as it extends APM from
monitoring to diagnostics and
prevention providing an integrated approach for each lifecycle phase,
thus improving communication between stakeholders and overall productivity.
All stakeholders use the same APM system with custom views specific to their needs based on a common data set, which reduces confusion and dispute. Plus,
reusing already-created assets (e.g. code instrumentation configurations, dashboards) across the lifecycle minimizes costly execution of redundant tasks.
See for yourself how dynaTrace enables key stakeholders to manage application performance across the lifecycle:
Technology-specific Solutions
dynaTrace also provides specific solutions for various technological areas, including:
Addressed IT Business Pains
dynaTrace efficiently addresses the pain in application performance all IT stakeholders are facing, including the development managers, software architects, managers of performance test teams and operation managers.
Overall, dynaTrace addresses the following business pains of IT:
Poor application performance leading to project failures and high outage costs
The average downtime cost of mission critical applications is estimated at $100k per hour. However, poorly performing applications also negatively affect business goals in many other ways.
dynaTrace proactively mitigates this risk through:
High application development, hosting, maintenance and management costs
Most IT-organizations face serious cost challenges as projects frequently run over budget, infrastructure is used inefficiently (purchase & maintenance costs), and traditional APM solutions are costly to implement and maintain.
dynaTrace enables you to cut costs by
Missed time-to-market goals of development projects
Development organizations are challenged to rapidly deliver applications in a constantly changing business environment. Compressing time-to-market for new applications is essential to meet the demands of the business.
