ISLANDIA, N.Y., Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(NASDAQ:CA) today announced that it has been positioned in the
"Leaders" quadrant in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for
Application Performance Monitoring" report*. After
evaluating 29 qualifying application performance management (APM)
providers, Gartner positioned CA Technologies in the "Leaders"
quadrant.
According to Gartner's March 2011
report entitled "Market Share, All Software Markets, Worldwide,
2010", CA Technologies is the overall** and distributed application
management worldwide market share leader based in total software
revenue in 2010.
CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) monitors all Web
and non-Web transactions as they traverse the application
infrastructure and automatically links those transactions to
dependent components. The solution delivers a business-centric view
of application health, prioritizes incidents based on business
impact, pinpoints failing components quickly and ties real end-user
experiences to the infrastructure. Real end-user experience
monitoring capabilities unified with deep-dive problem diagnosis
features help customers understand performance issues in context,
pinpoint failures and speed problem resolution.
"We believe the findings of this Gartner report echo what more
than 1,500 customers already know -- that CA APM is a trusted and
proven market leader for keeping business services running
smoothly," said Mike Sargent,
general manager, Service Assurance, CA Technologies. "Whether
transactions occur in physical, virtual or cloud environments, CA
APM helps protect revenue opportunities, end-user productivity and
customer satisfaction by ensuring quality of service and quality of
experience for critical business applications."
According to the Gartner report, "six aspects characterize
Leaders: (1) competitive offerings related to all five dimensions
of APM and best-of-breed functionality in three or more of the
dimensions; (2) credibility in the monitoring of application
domains assembled from heterogeneous sources; (3) effective
integration across four or more of the dimensions; (4) the ability
to deliver and support APM on a global basis; (5) a consistent
track record of innovation; and (6) a vision that places APM at the
heart of operations and application management."
