Riverbed Technology announced the launch of Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals 10, an Application Performance Management (APM) solution that helps IT teams take control of application performance in their evolving hybrid IT environments.
SteelCentral AppInternals 10 has been re-designed from the ground up. It can be set up in minutes and its modern, web-based, interactive dashboard can be accessed on computers, tablets, and smartphones – no special skills are required to set up and operate.
SteelCentral AppInternals 10 monitors applications on and off the cloud to provide end-to-end performance visibility and powerful analytics that help IT improve application performance, user experience, and business impact. SteelCentral AppInternals 10 traces every transaction from end-user device or browser to the application backend, while capturing second-by-second system metrics in production environments. These capabilities provide the most accurate perspectives into the end user experience, user demographics, and application performance, along with convenient workflows for root cause analysis. Further, IT can proactively improve performance by analyzing billions of metrics using simple queries to discover bugs and deliver business insights.
SteelCentral AppInternals solves visibility and control challenges to facilitate superior application performance across the hybrid enterprise. It monitors and stores a record of every end-to-end transaction along with its associated system metrics and call trees including parameters, URLs, user information, and remote calls. This ‘big data’ based approach allows IT to quickly and easily reconstruct incidents in great detail, measure impact, and identify and eliminate root causes before users notice. IT is rarely more than two clicks away from an answer when performance issues begin to appear.
SteelCentral AppInternals does not limit IT to preset workflows that encourage fixing problems after major slowdowns or outages. With SteelCentral AppInternals 10, IT can discover anomalies, measure business impact, plan for capacity, and continuously improve performance. On demand analytics, using simple “and”/“or” queries promotes proactive performance improvement and avoids reactive firefighting.
SteelCentral AppInternals 10 integrates with Riverbed SteelCentral Portal, which provides end-to-end performance visibility and analytics across end-users, applications, networks, and infrastructure. This combination provides a complete picture and changes the way IT domain teams work together to resolve performance issues.
“With the launch of the completely redesigned SteelCentral AppInternals 10, along with the recent release of the all new SteelCentral Portal, we are delivering the richest, most comprehensive visibility and diagnostic capabilities to manage application performance across today’s hybrid enterprise,” said Mike Sargent, SVP and GM of SteelCentral at Riverbed. “We’re also breaking the ease-of-use barrier — eliminating the need for a Ph.D. in APM to diagnose issues that quickly impact the business. AppInternals’ combination of comprehensive analytics and ease-of-use is unmatched by any other vendor. Furthermore, through the integration between AppInternals and SteelCentral Portal, we are extending visibility beyond the app into the network to deliver a complete picture of performance. This will fundamentally change the way teams collaborate to address performance issues going forward.”

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 ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
