More and more businesses are relying on applications hosted in complex data center and cloud infrastructures and this has created a demand for visibility into application performance and a vital dependency of the network on visibility.
In line with this demand, network monitoring and management solutions provider Emulex (News - Alert) Corporation, together with Compuware, a provider of application performance management (APM), have revealed the availability of Endace Fusion Connector for Compuware APM’s (News - Alert) Data Center Real-User Monitoring (DC RUM) solution.
The Endace Fusion Connector for Compuware APM’s DC RUM is part of the Endace Fusion Ecosystem program, and is available as part of DC RUM version 12.2.
Compuware (News - Alert) APM network performance monitoring enables IT operations and application support teams to proactively identify and fix problems that impact application performance and end-user experience across the network, web, middleware, and database tiers. Compuware offers an application-aware network performance management (AA-NPM) solution, powered by the DC RUM technology, which is ideal for data centers with virtual and physical servers.
The Endace Division of Emulex also provides a portfolio of network visibility products, while the Compuware DC RUM is the AA-NPM solution offers visibility into application performance based on passive monitoring of network traffic.
“The lines separating the traditional APM and NPM markets have blurred, and the framework of these solutions are inextricably linked. Solutions for today’s high-density, highly virtualized networks require both on-demand and retrospective network data to aid in the resolution of difficult application performance issues,” John Van Siclen, general manager of Compuware’s APM business unit said in a statement.
The Endace Fusion Connector for Compuware APM’s DC RUM automates workflows by allowing the exchange of alerts and packet-level data in real-time, providing users with true end-to-end application performance and network visibility from Compuware APM’s DC RUM dashboard.
Additionally, it enables lossless data collection for customers migrating from a 1GbE to 10GbE-based network environment, allowing customers to increase their network speed while maintaining complete network data capture and storage.
Key benefits include; enabling rapid collaboration between network and application teams, immediate data availability to aid troubleshooting, the ability to collect and collate data from multiple points on their network, and the availability of contextual packet-level data for post-event forensics and analysis.
“One of the greatest challenges when troubleshooting application performance on dense 10GbE networks is capturing and accessing relevant network data,” said Mike Riley, senior vice president and general manager of the Endace division of Emulex.
“The combination of Compuware APM’s DC RUM and Emulex EndaceProbe Intelligent Network Recorder (INR) provides the high-accuracy, highly scalable solution to ensure the availability of networked applications,” Siclen added.
