Infrastructure Availability and Performance Monitoring

Collect and Measure Availability and Performance Data Across the Entire Application and IT Infrastructure

Data drives the Business Services Management process. To solve problems and maximize performance you must first have access to extensive details on the daily operation of your service infrastructure. ProactiveNet empowers you with this knowledge by making it as easy as possible to collect availability, performance and other business data from disparate sources across your infrastructure from end to end. 

ProactiveNet Measurement Delivers Business Value

• Leverage previous investments by integrating your current application and web performance monitoring and systems management tools with ProactiveNet
• Measure application performance and availability across the entire application infrastructure
• Gain a competitive advantage through ProactiveNet’s early warning of slowdowns for business critical transactions
• Ensure customer satisfaction by recording and monitoring response times for online and client server transactions

Comprehensive Data Sources

ProactiveNet Measurement leverages input from four primary data sources: traditional enterprise management systems, leading transaction monitoring tools, proprietary monitors and custom data sources. With this flexibility, ProactiveNet makes complete monitoring coverage a reality, spanning your entire business service infrastructure. You have the freedom to select which data sources best meet your specific needs, and align your management solution with your unique business goals.

ProactiveNet performance measurement aggregates input from:

• Enterprise Adapters: Protect and leverage your investments in enterprise management systems.
• ProactiveNet Agents: Monitor a broad range of technology with ProactiveNet’s out-of-the-box agents.
• Custom Data Sources: Incorporate custom or business metric data unique to your company.
• Leading User Experience Monitoring Tools: Incorporate outside-the-firewall response time data from other leading performance monitoring tools.

Early Warning of Performance Problems: Respond fast to alerts from real-time application performance monitoring

While ProactiveNet Performance Measurement is designed to collect data and feed it to the root cause analytics engine to help you pinpoint the sources of service performance issues, ProactiveNet monitoring also delivers a secondary, more immediate advantage - it lets you know what is happening in real-time. By sending early warning alerts of slowdowns for business-critical transactions, ProactiveNet keeps you informed on performance status in real time. When transaction time is degraded, ProactiveNet’s early warnings are sent to you long before the end-user is impacted, enabling you to respond immediately before a performance issue becomes a performance problem.

Monitoring Your Business Critical Online Applications: Record and play back complex transactions for 24/7 performance monitoring

ProactiveNet monitoring starts with recording the application transaction. A typical application transaction results in 25+ sub-transactions such as http transactions, DNS queries, and database transactions. In turn, the sub-transactions rely on the common underlying application infrastructure. The ProactiveNet recording mechanism measures every aspect of a specific application transaction and then plays back synthetic transactions to ensure optimal transaction performance and availability.
