In today’s app-centric world, poor performance is bad business. It’s your job to protect the end-user experience—but that’s a tall order without a UNIFIED VIEW of performance that puts your network and application health in crystal-clear focus.

Reasons to centralize your performance monitoring & management controls:

· Increase ROI

· Troubleshoot Faster

· Drive Change

"Across industries, companies are looking for smarter and more efficient ways to guarantee the performance and availability of business-critical applications. Like many, you may have invested in Network Performance Management (NPM) and/or Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools to gain visibility into the health of your application delivery infrastructure. The problem with this approach however, is that APM and NPM operations are rarely integrated—meaning little collaboration or collation of data occurs between the teams operating them. When performance degradations occur, troubleshooting efforts are often lengthy and marred with finger pointing as teams look to defer blame. A better approach is needed—one that assesses network and application performance as a whole."

Applications in today's distributed, cloud-based IT environment need to perform at their peak at all times. Unfortunately, most do not. And while many developers and IT professionals have Application Performance Management (APM) solutions, they often don't know how to take full advantage of the benefits. This SlashGuide gives IT professionals and developers practical advice they need to get the most out of APM.
