Performance and Stability Optimization in Distributed Applications

Is your IT environment, like most nowadays, characterized by a variety of distributed applications? Do complex client-server architectures complicate the automation of your business processes? Is a higher level of business transaction transparency necessary? The secure and efficient processing of high volumes of ever more complex, business-critical transactions over distributed applications is taking center stage within most IT organization. Distributed applications and Remoting are more than just industry buzzwords – they often conspire to expose design vulnerabilities and place increased pressure on application stability and performance. Consistent monitoring and concrete measures for performance optimization are mandatory for survival in this new world.
dynaTrace Diagnostics^® has been designed and implemented as a ‘specialist’ in diagnosing distributed system performance and optimizing it across the entire lifecycle.

Deep Transaction Tracing Across Auto-discovered Distributed Components

Distributed applications and their components are recognized out-of-the-box by the Automated Architecture Discovery and incorporated into the diagnosis. Regardless of whether your environment consists of proprietary applications based on Java SE/EE or .NET, standalone applications or even server-based applications, dynaTrace Diagnostics reconstructs performance and stability problems across system boundaries down to code level at runtime. End-user transactions are automatically correlated across several clients and servers to PurePaths, in which communication mechanisms and pathways (JMS, JRMP, etc.) are traced in detail. Special KnowledgeSensors™ provide rapid automatic instrumentation out-of-the-box and deliver deep application insight by gathering and coalescing all relevant context information along the entire transaction path. Even load-balancing problems in server clusters can be differentiated from errors in the applications.

dynaTrace Diagnostics even integrates legacy systems into the analysis of response times by supporting a variety of connector technologies (e.g. JVA, CICS). Comprehensive bottom-up diagnosis of the network using RMI-calls down to specific transactions can be carried out quickly and easily.
