Leveraging Performance Optimization for Business Advantage:
Bridging the Life-Cycle Gap Between Development, Transactions, and Production |
|
| |
Written by Melinda-Carol Ballou, IDC (incl. 2 customer case studies)
One of the great challenges for IT organizations is managing the application life cycle
from development to production - using information obtained from automated tools
to pinpoint performance problems to find and resolve them throughout the software
life cycle and, most importantly, when they occur in production.
This White Paper considers the business, IT, and operations challenges of
bridging this gap to enable users to proactively find and repair performance and
xtransaction problems in distributed applications (from development to deployment).

Continuous Application Performance Management Across the Application Lifecycle |
|
| |
This whitepaper describes a new approach to application performance management (APM). Fundamental changes in the way that software is developed (e.g. agile methodologies, geographically distributed teams, and a growing reliance on third-party code) and the increasing complexity of application architectures (e.g. SOA, ESBs, heterogeneous, virtualized, and increasingly cloud-based) are rendering traditional APM approaches increasingly obsolete. A new approach – continuous application performance management – that can be deployed across the entire application lifecycle – from development through test and into production – is required. This paper explores the requirements of this new approach and describes the impact it can have not only at each individual phase of an application’s lifecycle but also as an integrated, consistent approach to ensuring application performance across the lifecycle.

Continuous Application Performance for Enterprise .NET Systems |
|
| |
.NET and SharePoint provide a framework and environment for rapid application development. Coupled with this are inherent performance limitations that must be taken into consideration – otherwise applications will suffer from severe performance problems. Consequently, if not addressed, development finds themselves more frequently in a firefight situation with complex application issues. It is also imperative to find and fíx performance issues as soon as possible, as the cost of defects rise exponentially the later they are found in the lifecycle. Finally, business stakeholders require insight into the performance of production applications, as they become more dependent on them.
Learn how you can master these challenges with Continuous Application Performance Management across the entire software lifecycle. dynaTrace enables efficient collaboration among all stakeholders to proactively prevent and to quickly find and fix performance issues in .NET applications.

On the PurePath - Go Beyond Profiling |
|

Tracing transactions across distributed Java/.NET application components at production-safe overhead
Using profilers for application performance analysis relies on many assumptions that do not hold true in most situations.
The collection of simple statistical performance values may mask systemic performance problems and often makes root cause
isolation difficult. High execution overhead and the lack of support for distributed, heterogeneous systems additionally
prohibit their use under real world conditions. dynaTrace Diagnostics® steps in to fulfil all those
requirements that profilers miss.

Diagnose performance bottlenecks down to offending lines of code with dynaTrace Diagnostics®
Diagnosing and resolving application problems uncovered during load tests seem to take forever? Then this white paper
is a must read.
You'll learn that solving this issue requires a new generation of application performance
diagnostics tools, which provide easy problem triage and in-depth analysis functionality for applications under full
load while tightly integrating with your load testing solution. dynaTrace Diagnostics® is first to
break through this barrier through its unique PurePath Technology® and open system architecture.

A New Way to Diagnose, Tune and Monitor Remoting in Distributed Java™ Applications |
|
| |
Deliver High Performance Remoting with dynaTrace Diagnostics®.
Business applications have become increasingly complex, heterogeneous and distributed as organizations seize upon SOA, web services and other remote communication technologies to build their IT infrastructure. With these new levels of complexity have come a host of challenges associated with the accurate and timely monitoring, diagnosing and tuning of distributed applications. In this paper, you will learn how dynaTrace Diagnostics, with its revolutionary PurePath Technology®, can dramatically simplify these processes and provide you with the visibility and context you need to ensure distributed application performance at the highest level, from development and QA and into 7x24 production operation.
