AppDynamics announced a relationship with Microsoft Corp. that enables Windows Azure users to monitor and scale their applications in Windows Azure.
Organizations running their revenue-critical applications on Microsoft’s cloud platform can now gain full visibility into their applications and rapidly troubleshoot performance problems.
While traditional monitoring tools provided some level of visibility, they often had blind spots that limited their ability to rapidly pinpoint and fix performance problems. Now, with AppDynamics, Windows Azure users can get full visibility into the end-to-end performance of every business transaction and quickly isolate problems with code-level diagnostics.
“We are excited about AppDynamics’ solution on Windows Azure and look forward to working with them. Their solution helps businesses gain greater visibility into the performance of their applications running on Windows Azure,” said Scott Guthrie, Corporate VP, Windows Azure App Platform, Microsoft.
AppDynamics’ automatic instrumentation and configuration are designed for managing cloud environments with a high rate of change.
In addition, AppDynamics’ auto-scaling feature allows Windows Azure customers to automatically provision Windows Azure resource based on the performance and throughput of business transactions.
Windows Azure users will be able to try AppDynamics for free for 30 days through the Windows Azure Marketplace.
With AppDynamics, Windows Azure users can:
- Monitor the health of their Windows Azure application
- Troubleshoot performance problems in real time
- Rapidly diagnose root cause of performance problems
- Dynamically scale up and scale down their Windows Azure application
Jyoti Bansal, Founder and CEO of AppDynamics, said: “Migrating to the cloud can be a scary step for many application owners. We’re happy to be able to give application support teams the confidence that their applications will meet their SLAs, as well as scale to meet the needs of their business.”
With the release of AppDynamics Pro 3.4.3 today, Windows Azure customers can now monitor and troubleshoot applications that leverage:
- Windows Azure Compute
- Windows Azure Service Bus
- Windows Azure SQL
- Windows Azure Storage
To provide the best possible solution for Windows Azure users, AppDynamics has made available its multi-tenant Monitoring-as-a-Service platform within Windows Azure itself. This minimizes the network bandwidth costs for Windows Azure customers using AppDynamics because they will not have to transfer monitoring data outside of Windows Azure.
In addition, online support, documentation and training are all available directly through the Windows Azure Marketplace.
