Best Practices for Understanding Your Application Performance Monitoring Solution

By Jaclyn Allard, TMCnet Web Editor


Most IT managers have a fascination with network security tools, but they often overlook data capture. Datacom Systems, a company focused on data capture infrastructure, offers solutions designed to retrieve data off the network to prepare it for analysis; in essence, an efficient process for determining network and application performance.


Do you find that you perform better when you know what is going on with a project? The same is true with your network. It performs better when it knows what is going on with the applications you are running. As a result, it is important to implement application performance monitoring solutions that monitor activity to anticipate and fix any issues that can occur. 

Once application performance monitoring is installed on your system, your IT team will start to look at things differently. They will login and check the latency and responsiveness of the system, and then dig deeper simply because they want to know more. As they measure each step in a transaction or measure how long it takes to process different kinds of requests, they are gathering information from the application performance monitoring piece that can improve the experience for all users. 

IT managers and you can continue to reap the benefits of an application performance monitoring solution by purchasing the newly released title by CA (News - Alert) Press, “APM Best Practices: Realizing Application Performance Management.” The publisher of CA Technologies (News - Alert) retail books released the book as a step-by-step guide to help IT professionals realize the benefits of successful application performance monitoring.

As Michael J. Sydor, book author, confessed, “"Today's IT environment is complex and highly distributed. I believe that by focusing on the business transaction and underlying application components, you can take control of the complexity and get important insight into the nature of performance problems. My mission in writing this book is to make sure that APM (News - Alert) tools are used correctly, no matter what technology or project scope is being considered: from a single on-premise application, to a full enterprise suite with service-oriented architecture and public cloud complexity."

Readers will learn how to perform such responsibilities as assessing where they are in their application performance monitoring maturity lifecycle, understand the basic and advanced techniques for using application performance monitoring technology, and manage the evaluation and selection of an application performance monitoring solution, etc.
