Our APM tools aid non-stop fund e-transfer

What is APM solutions? How is it
helpful for the enterprises?

APM is basically a set of tools used to manage applications like when an application goes down, it detects the problem and fixes it. APM consists of several broad frames. One is the core application performance management.

If an application goes down in a data center, it takes 2 or 3 days to identify and fix the problem. Every vendor has a solution to fix the issue once it is detected. Such solutions are called second-generation tools.

The tools provided by companies like IBM, HP comes under this category. These tools are typically centered around servers, storage, and network. They look at the infrastructure components and do network monitoring, server monitoring, and database monitoring, etc.

But ours are third-generation tools. Our APM solutionsGomez and dynaTracedo not care about the infrastructure. In an organization, if an application faces some kind of problem, our APM solutions detect it and fix it in a short span of time.

Gomez is offered as a service outside the data center, while dynaTrace is a transaction tracing tool. The dynaTrace is a combination of 3 APM technologiesbusiness transaction management, application performance management, and user experience management.

Precisely, if the problem is within the data center, dynaTrace will come handy and if it is outside, Gomez comes into the picture.

The core function of third-generation APM tools is to make sure that applications are running perfect. If something collapses, Compuwares APM tools are capable of finding the root cause and fix it immediately.

If we take the banking sector, for instance, customers use online banking for fund transfer, ticket booking, and mobile recharging, etc. The bank has to make sure its website is functioning properly. If an issue arises with regard to the website, it has to be fixed in no-time so that the activities on the web are not compromised.

If the time-out happens during an online fund transfer, the customer starts worrying about his/her money that whether it has been transferred or not. This is where our APM tools come in handy.

Most of our testing tools are available for download free of cost on our website. Anybody who is setting up a website or a mobile site can go and see how the application works on different devices.

Which business models does the company offer for APM tools?

In Gomez, SaaS part is cloud. The other part is deployed in the data centre. We have something called Cloud Sleuth, a community that actually tracks the performance of major cloud and cloud providers. In public cloud, if an organization is using multiple applications from different vendors hosted in different locations, our solutions will help manage the applications.

If a customer chooses to deploy our tools, he tells us which cloud he has adopted so that we can interact with the cloud vendor. We give the vendor accurate diagnostic information at every stage of the transaction outside the public cloud and can point out the locations of discrepancies so that they know exactly where the problems are.
