ISLANDIA, N.Y., Dec. 13,
2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies has unleashed the next
generation of application performance management with the
availability of CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) 9.1,
the industry's first and only unified application, infrastructure
and network performance solution. CA APM gives customers better
control of the end-user experience by providing improved visibility
across hybrid-cloud infrastructure.
"Unlike vendor offerings that require multiple domain tools and
costly IT resources, CA APM is a single product designed to deliver
a complete, 360-degree view of the end-user experience by linking
business transaction performance to the dependent application,
network and infrastructure components," said Mike Sargent, general manager, Service
Assurance, CA Technologies. "This comprehensive view empowers
customers to be in complete control of the end-user experience, and
rapidly isolate, diagnose and resolve problems across disparate
technology silos."
Powered by its unique transaction model, CA APM provides a
single source-of-truth on business transaction performance that
helps customers to:
- Get better control of the end-user experience with an increased
understanding of how application, network and infrastructure
components affect service quality; how effective the network is at
delivering applications to users; and how well the hybrid-cloud
infrastructure is delivering against business objectives and
SLAs;
- Boost IT productivity and increase collaboration among diverse
IT teams responsible for assuring optimal performance of
revenue-generating services, avoiding expensive and time-consuming
war-room approaches to problem resolution; and
- Adapt to constantly changing IT environments and simplify
management of complex, composite application infrastructures by
monitoring all transactions from start-to-finish across physical,
hybrid-cloud and mainframe environments.
"More than ever, an enterprise's online presence is
mission-critical for customer acquisition and retention, revenue
generation, customer service, and positive brand equity," said
Andy Schroepfer, vice president,
enterprise strategy, Rackspace. "For that reason, our Rackspace®
Critical Sites offering is leveraging CA APM and other service
assurance solutions from CA Technologies to accelerate enterprise
IaaS and PaaS initiatives. Intertwining CA APM for optimizing the
application performance into our complete hosting solution enables
us to improve service quality, predictability and efficiency."
With its holistic view, CA APM is supporting customers as they
transition to delivering business services versus simply managing
IT components. CA APM provides the critical "assure" element in the
Business Service Innovation value roadmap customized for each
customer's business goals: new levels of speed, innovation,
performance and cost/risk efficiencies.
Key new features and benefits of CA APM include:
Get Complete Control of the End-User Experience
- Unified End-User Experience Monitoring: Unifies end-user
experience and network performance monitoring through a single
appliance that provides a single source-of-truth on how network
behavior impacts the end-user experience, making it faster and
easier to identify, diagnose and resolve transaction performance
problems caused by the network.
- Expanded Support for Adobe Flex and Non-Web
Applications: Expands visibility into and monitoring of Flex
and non-Web applications to provide a more complete view of the
end-user experience across a broad range of Web, non-Web and rich
Internet applications.
Enhance Visibility AcrossHybrid-Cloud Infrastructure
- Infrastructure-Aware Application Triage: Expands
visibility into dependent hybrid-cloud infrastructure components to
quickly identify, diagnose and resolve transaction performance
problems caused by networks, servers and databases. Performance
data and infrastructure events are presented in an intuitive
graphical map that provides a 360-degree view of components
impacting the end-user experience, empowering organizations to
accelerate problem resolution, boost IT productivity and increase
collaboration among diverse IT teams.
- Private-Cloud Application Triage: Expands visibility
into virtual infrastructure to proactively identify, diagnose and
resolve transaction performance issues in private-cloud
environments. Performance data and virtual infrastructure events
are presented in the same intuitive graphical map to pinpoint and
fix problems before end-users and revenue-generating services are
affected.
Optimize and Simplify APM for Rapid Time-to-Value and Higher
ROI
- Lean Agent: Optimizes the
industry-leading CA APM agent technology to run even more
efficiently and effectively in large, production and pre-production
environments.
- Bullet-Proof Management: Strengthens and optimizes the
CA APM Enterprise Manager for large, heterogeneous and complex
hybrid-cloud environments to deliver even more value and higher
ROI.
CA APM monitors all web and non-web transactions in real time as
they traverse the hybrid-cloud infrastructure (physical, virtual,
cloud and mainframe) to help proactively identify, diagnose and
resolve problems before end users are affected and assure
service-delivery levels meet business objectives. By mapping all
transactions to the supporting infrastructure, CA APM provides a
thorough understanding of the end-user experience that allows
application support and network operations teams to pinpoint
failing components and bottlenecks quickly, identify high-value
transactions that may be at risk and prioritize incidents based on
business impact. This business-centric approach delivers the vital
visibility required to optimize the performance of critical
transactions and revenue-generating services, and put customers
firmly in control of the end-user experience.
