DESCRIPTION
Today's IT environments are complex and dynamic. Virtualization, cloud, and BYOD create new dependencies that make it more difficult, costly, and time consuming to manage user experience and application performance. The toughest (and most costly) performance problems are the ones where users call the helpdesk and complain that "my application is slow". IT administrators struggle to determine the root-cause of the problem: Is it the application, the virtualization layer, the network, storage or desktop? Join the webinar and find out how to deliver performance assurance for mission-critical services and applications: - Dramatically enhance user experience, application performance, and service uptime and quality - Remove blind spots and get complete, real-time visibility into how your mission critical applications and services are performing, and how they impact user experience - Overcome diagnosis complexity and accelerate from a slow and reactive approach to rapid, pre-emptive problem solving - Empower your help desk to do more and reduce the burden on scarce experts - Reduce cost through higher uptime, scalability and improved resource utilization

Application Performance Management5 Steps to Performance Assurance for Dynamic IT Environments
451 Research: Infrastructure Computing for the Enterprise
Dennis Callaghan, Senior Analyst• IT Performance Management: APM, RUM, SLM, etc.• ITSM/IT Asset Management: Service desk, discovery,
remediation, resource management, inventory management, etc
• IT Business Management: Chargeback/showback, cost management, budgeting/forecasting, benchmarking, etc.

APM Overview
Sector Trends• SaaS: APM as a service• Monitor Anywhere: Hybrid Cloud• Virtualization: complexities, dependencies,
capacity planning/management• App-centric view across transaction tiers • Agented vs. agentless• APM vs. NPM• Correlating the end user experience
APM Overview
APM Challenges
• Discovery: Where does my app reside, what resources it is using?• Diagnosis: Where exactly is the problem?
» Network» Database» Storage» App server» Web server
• Cloud/virtualization awareness: I/O, CPU, resource contention• Cost: Avoid throwing more IT resources at the problem, reduce
support issues, prevent/shorten outages or slowdowns• Deployment/management: SaaS• End user experience: Back end metrics vs. front end experience
APM Overview
APM Approaches• Automation: discovery, event correlation,
remediation, resource provisioning• Analytics: auto-baselining, root cause, predictive• Total visibility: Business transaction monitoring
of service calls between application tiers• Deep dive: app server, storage, database,
message queue, etc.• APM as a service

Hey, I can’t login!
Monitoring Silos Does Not Work
Suppose the database server is 50% slower than normal
A problem in one application can affect all the other applications involved in the service delivery.
