AppEnsure introduced its application performance monitoring and management solution.
AppEnsure automatically measures response time and throughput for all applications, including custom developed and purchased, in all locations; physical, virtualized, public and private cloud.
From a one click install, AppEnsure takes only minutes to deliver value with automatic discovery and naming of all applications, without any user configuration.
Every transaction is mapped both virtually and physically with automatic baselining of historical response times. This App Ops-focused solution gives fast time to resolution by delivering root cause analysis with automated application visibility, presenting clear instructions for the fast resolution of issues by operations teams responsible for the support of every production application.
With AppEnsure, users can:
- Quickly discover applications -- both custom and off-the-shelf, applications are automatically discovered by name and topology, keeping updated even in dynamic hybrid deployments
- Access real-time, correlated, root cause analysis -- providing actionable, real-time data when response time and throughput of an application decline
- Work with both custom developed and off-the-shelf applications -- written to both Windows and Linux, whether they are deployed on physical, virtual or cloud infrastructures.
"Understanding the root cause of application performance issues has become increasingly difficult as companies move from traditional physical infrastructures to cloud and virtualized environments. This move has created a large increase in IT spend, as organizations attempt to manage these performance issues," said Colin L.M. Macnab, CEO and co-founder of AppEnsure.
"We founded AppEnsure to address the deficiency in current performance management systems and help companies overcome these limitations by providing a simple way to measure response time and throughput of everything in their computing environment distributed across physical, datacenter, private and public clouds. Our goal is to provide the necessary tools for ensuring mission critical application performance for all applications, not just custom ones."
In response to the demand from Citrix and VMware's VAR channel, AppEnsure is now enabling VARs to demonstrate the effectiveness of currently implemented and proposed projects, free of cost. VARs can use AppEnsure to baseline the performance of an environment prior to implementing a project, and then demonstrate that a project has in fact delivered the desired improvements in application performance upon its completion. Participation in the Project License Program is open to qualified VARs who register each project with AppEnsure.
AppEnsure's application management solution is currently available.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
