The EMA Radar for Advanced Performance Analytics (APA) Use Cases: Q4 2012, by EMA VP Dennis Drogseth, was published today.
Having the ability to engage in a fact based conversation about the end-user-experience, instead of “spinning” infrastructure metrics and making assumptions about performance, is an elegant proficiency. Taking the emotion out of performance related problems for critical business applications is one of the intangible benefits that an APM solution can bring to your table ...

The Cloud is not only disrupting the way in which organizations acquire and utilize computing power and business applications, it is also changing the way application development and IT operations teams view their roles and the tools they use to perform their responsibilities. Certainly, this site is clearly illustrates how the idea of APM is changing in light of the rapid adoption of Cloud solutions ...
“Big Data” is everywhere. What does it mean? Just as Cloud Computing bursted onto the scene a few years ago, it depends on whom you ask ...
As you strive to achieve new levels of sophistication when creating performance baselines, it is important to consider how you will navigate the oscillating winds of application behavior as the numbers come in from all directions. The behavioral context of the user will highlight key threshold settings to consider as you build a framework for real-time alerting into your APM solution ...
The explosion in Big Data proves that most organizations have the monitoring part down. The challenge is what to do with all the data, once collected. How can you correlate and analyze Big Data, and make some sense out of it? This is the key to the future of APM ...
Ask any IT or business manager what type of information would make their lives easier and they'll usually say benchmark data which allows them to compare their performance to their peers ...
Gartner has published a new Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring.
There are many proposed approaches to APM. One approach is collecting performance data from the application itself while the other is collecting application data from packet data by sniffing on the network. Fetching metrics from the application process itself yields valuable data such as memory, buffers, cache and other such application data which cannot be obtained from the wire. On the other hand, performance metrics from the network itself gives a good breakdown of response times and delays from the different components of the entire service ...
Last Fall, I wrote two blogs on BSM Analytics: What Are They? And Why Should You Care? This Summer I’m taking that idea several giant steps forward and developing what at EMA we call a “Radar” – our equivalent I suppose to a “Magic Quadrant” – to look at advanced performance analytics in context with vendor designs, deployment successes and use-case related strengths and weaknesses ...

In a large data center, an application performance management (APM) solution can generate thousands of metric data points per second. This data avalanche will contain the health information about the IT environment and the challenge is to manage the sheer scale of this data ...
“Analytics”, according to IT vendors, can save time, money and improve decision-making. Unfortunately, “analytics” is being thrown around generically by vendors in many different contexts, representing a wide range of capabilities that are as different as polar bears and Amazonian ants. As a result, “analytics” has become ambiguous and poorly defined ...
