Application Performance Management

OPNET Technologies provides the industry's most comprehensive, integrated solution suite for Application Performance Management (APM).

• Breadth: Provides visibility across the application footprint, including Java, .NET, custom applications; web and application servers;, database servers; client machines; routers, switches, load balancers, firewalls, and WAN accelerators
• Depth: Obtain high quality, fine-grained data specifically targeted at troubleshooting application performance
• Integration across domains: Ability to obtain, analyze and report on data that allows a progressively deeper analysis starting with a symptom, going through triage, and leading to root cause isolation
• Analytics: True correlation of performance-related metrics and events, adaptive base-lining of performance metrics, rules-driven analysis, and advanced visualization that synchronizes data across application tiers to present an integrated view
• Low Overhead: Patented, industry-leading capabilities for collection, long-term storage, and rapid retrieval of high-volume, fine-grained data

OPNET’s High Definition APM suite:

• AppResponse Xpert uniquely combines end-user experience monitoring and in-depth analysis of network performance to obtain complete visibility of IT services across the enterprise.
• AppInternals Xpert looks deep into the complex software frameworks of modern servers to perform High Definition monitoring and forensic analysis for any type of application, and excels in particular in Java and.NET environments.
• AppMapper Xpert automatically produces a run-time application map, identifying the underlying application and infrastructure components that enable a production application.
• AppTransaction Xpert leverages patented visualization and analytics to dramatically improve pre-deployment testing and prediction, and accelerate troubleshooting in production.
• AppTelemetry Xpert uses remote instrumentation techniques to provide visibility into the performance of the underlying application infrastructure, including servers and network devices.
• AppSQL Xpert provides deep visibility into database activity and measures the performance of database transactions.

BlueStripe is the first company to deliver complete application performance management for all your applications, regardless of code and platform. This is a critical component of APM 2.0, the ability to cover all applications in any IT environment. With APM 2.0, the limitations of platform-specific tools are gone, and business processes that encompass more than one application platform will no longer be invisible to the monitoring tools.

Automated Application IdentificationWith the possibility of dozens, or even hundreds, of applications, manual setup is not logistically feasible in a real-world IT organization. That's why BlueStripe's Application Performance Management solution automates many of the key setup and configuration needs such as:

• Application Identification and Naming
• Transaction Path Mapping
• Real-time monitoring and tracing of Protocol Transactions
• Component Dependency Tracking
• Change Detection and Re-configuration

Monitor, analyze and report on transactions, response times and end- user experience to ensure optimal application delivery and protect revenue.

• Gain end-to end transaction visibility
• Monitor true end user experience
• Proactively manage performance

Foglight significantly lowers the cost of monitoring applications while ensuring application service delivery meets business and end user needs. It provides a correlated, 360 degree view of your applications from end user to database and from service levels to infrastructure—to source the root cause of every incident impacting your business and to fix them quickly.

Foglight can help you:

• Lower the operational cost of managing applications
• Mitigate risk of downtime
• Improve compliance with application SLAs
• Reduce incident counts and mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of incidents
• Provide visibility for IT and the business
