dynaTrace software Unveils Fourth Generation Application Performance Management Platform

dynaTrace software has introduced its fourth generation application performance management platform, dynaTrace 4, saying that it expands the company’s platform across three major dimensions -- breadth, depth and ease-of-use.

dynaTrace 4 represents the next leap forward in dynaTrace innovation, said John Van Siclen, president of Compuware’s dynaTrace subsidiary, adding that as customers look to their application performance monitoring systems to provide greater business value with less effort than ever before, dynaTrace 4 will deliver unparalleled breadth, depth and ease-of-use.

PurePath Technology, a new generation of patented transaction tracing capability, is at the core of this latest offering. Company officials said that this transaction tracing capability provides an accurate view of application behavior and performance under load.       

Siclen said that not only will dynaTrace 4 introduce an extended PurePath technology, it will also introduce the first stage of the company’s Gomez integration. “With PurePath at the core, I see dynaTrace innovation and value accelerating as we continue to tightly integrate with the market leading offerings from Compuware (News - Alert)/Gomez.”

Enabled by a new generation of PurePath, dynaTrace 4 requires zero-configuration, auto-discovering the application at runtime; and it also auto-adapts that eliminates the on-going maintenance required unlike other application performance management systems.

Moreover, dynaTrace 4 extends the breadth of the dynaTrace offering from data center to user endpoint, said company officials. Plus, it provides more depth via enhanced analytics and new incident management capabilities.

Company officials said that in a single click, dynaTrace 4 enables root cause identification for many use-cases. This simplifies troubleshooting and increasing application team productivity. Also, dynaTrace 4 advances combine to support the DevOps imperative.

“We've been using dynaTrace across the lifecycle now for over 3 years," said Charlie Weiblen, vice president of engineering at IntraLinks. “dynaTrace was the most innovative APM (News - Alert) product I had seen then, and with dynaTrace 4, they've blown that away.”

dynaTrace 4 comes with many advances in power and simplicity -- particularly continuous recording of transactions, which is key for a cloud-based service like IntraLinks, Weiblen said. 

dynaTrace is a provider of application performance management. With its patented PurePath Technology, it offers a continuous APM system, transforming how applications are monitored, managed and optimized.

Recently, Compuware Corp. acquired dynaTrace software for $256 million cash.
