Compuware Corporation announced a major new release of its Data Center Real User Monitoring solution (DC RUM).
Enhanced analytics and new network packet capture and analysis capabilities simplify identification and triage of performance issues across applications, infrastructure and network. Now application operators can monitor and understand the network impact on application performance down to the transaction and user level at packet-level depth.
The new availability analytics span all layers of a business transaction, from the network TCP session all the way up to the application logic.
"This new version of DC RUM will change the way we triage performance issues across the network and application layers. Instead of manually correlating across different network and application tools, Compuware APM provides a single solution and workflow," said Doug Botimer, Technology Solutions Manager, at Marketing Associates. "Not only does Compuware DC RUM automatically identify the bottleneck, it provides the user and transaction context required to solve the problem with packet-level visibility."
DC RUM's end-to-end view encompasses detailed network, client and server fault-domain analysis, and streamlines the identification and isolation of a problem's root cause. This unique fault-domain isolation value is now supplemented by the ability to initiate, collect and analyze packet-level data in the context of DC RUM reports. This allows operations and performance teams to ascertain root causes of network issues by viewing the packet-level data collected in the context of the application, transaction and user analysis.
Additionally, by leveraging domain experience built from thousands of customers and hundreds of man-years invested in performance analytics, Compuware APM customers now benefit from enhanced analytics that embed these best practices into the product itself.
Enhancements to Compuware APM's DC RUM solution include:
- Smarter triage and delivery of actionable root-cause information to network performance teams including packet-level visibility. When performance problems are triaged to the network, Compuware APM provides analysis of transactions at packet-level depth. Unlike competitor offerings that simply capture raw network data, DC RUM provides application, transaction and user context for enhanced analysis.
- Quantifies the business impact of availability issues with smart availability analytics. Operations and performance teams can now automatically understand when application and network faults impact user experiences. Instead of pouring over potentially innocuous issues or missing errors that affect users, immediate notification of user-impacting problems is provided. DC RUM measures and automatically baselines all layers supporting a business transaction - from network TCP sessions to application logic - and shows at a glance the source of the problem with a single application health index.
- The ability to initiate packet captures, using the context of transactions, applications, users and other criteriato set the boundaries for packet-level collection and analysis. DC RUM combined with transaction trace analysis, Compuware APM's protocol analyzer with expert application insight, delivers the facts through the industry's broadest set of application decodes.
"As modern network and application architectures continue to increase in complexity, so do challenges around performance visibility and control," said Steve Tack, Vice President of Product Management for Compuware's APM business unit. "With this new release of our DC RUM solution, we deliver powerful new performance analytics that solve these challenges and support a smarter triage process to rapidly resolve issues. Customers can improve user experience through network packet-level capture and analysis with business context, and enhanced availability analytics."

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
