WHY APM?


Every business has 5-10 critical business process and applications. Slowdown or outage have a direct impact on their profits, revenue, customers and brand equity

The Bottom Line: In Today’s World, the App can never go DOWN!!!

Software problem led to two days of downtime at the largest bank in Europe has tarnished their image as the most reliable banking website.

Impact to business lifeline applications is more than critical

KEY APM FUNCTIONS


Understand the

end-user experience

Follow changing

workloads Mobile devices & smart endpoints Private, public & hybrid clouds Highly virtualized applications,

storage & networks

Discovery

Quickly find application resources

End User Experience

Ensure SLA compliance

Transaction Tracking

Rapid problem isolation

Diagnostics

Domain-specific deep-dive and repair

Predictive Analytics

Reduce outages & improve business performance

shared data & common services

See steps

across the cloud

Visibility, control and automation to intelligently manage critical applications in cloud, physical and hybrid environments.

What is Application Performance Management?


Detect that a threshold has been breached and that a problem occurred, or is about to happen

Sense Diagnose Isolate Repair

Pinpoint the problem to a specific part of

the environment and hand-off to the

appropriate specialist

Drill down into the details and get to the root cause of the

problem

Fix the faulty component,

validate the fix and roll back into

production

1. Response Time Measurement

Start by monitoring transaction

performance and end-user problems

2. Transaction Tracking

Correlate data from app server, MQ,

CICS, IMS, custom instrumentation, etc.

to show topology and isolate problems

1. Sense End User

Experience and alert on

threshold violation

2. Isolate by measuring

performance data against

baseline through entire

infrastructure

1.31sec

3. Deep Dive Diagnostics

Launch in context to SME tools where appropriate.

In this scenario, the problem is a WebSphere JEE memory leak.

– Web Response Time Monitoring

• Monitors actual customer experience

• Agentless solution

– Robotic Response Time Monitoring

• Repeatable testing of high-priority transactions

• Early warning of failures or performance problems

– Internet Service Monitoring

• Periodic testing of services that make systems run

• Simple and lightweight

New Application-Oriented Dashboards!

Take guesswork out of application issues

with smart drill downs

Easy to understand dashboards

Quickly renders data

Customizable with a wide variety of charts

and graphs and data sources

Runs on smart devices

Dramatically simplified visibility into the application environment

Saving money in three easy steps

Critical application outages are very costly!

Can you see the health of your applications?

1) Quickly see there is a problem

Two applications are in a critical state.

Net Banking generates the most revenue.

2) Quickly isolate the source of the problem

This problem needs to be resolved quickly to minimize revenue losses.

By identifying the source of the problem, we eliminate the need for bridge calls, which reduces

cost and time per incident.

3) Drill down to find the root cause of the problem

By drilling down to the next level, we find the cause of the problem, a database that’s offline

APM TRENDS


Traditional IT systems (Systems of Record)

Touchpoints (Systems of Engagement)

Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, Smart Infrastructure, Social

ERP Legacy DB

CRM HR

Manage workloads and maintain security

Rapid innovation in the cloud

User experience and mobile management

The nature of the application is changing…. Rapid delivery of client facing applications and new consumption models are shifting focus and success metrics to support the business.

• Technology model (Client Server Systems of Engagement) • Shift from Traditional application (J2EE, Client-Server, packaged) to New Applications that engage

customers through web and smart devices

• Deployment model (On premise Cloud) • Shift to Cloud is accelerating due to new class of apps, shorter release cycles and the speed of

delivering it to business

IBM’s APM Strategy

Application releases are more agile. (e.g.30 days –Aetna, Paypal)

LOB is influencing and making APM purchase decisions (30% increase by 2015)

New workloads are being deployed in public cloud (50% in cloud by 2017)

Market Dynamics

Growth lead by Mobile Devices accessing critical

application. (1B smartphones by 2015)

On-premises

SaaS

Managing critical applications

DevOps

• Support continuous application lifecycle – DevOps

Monitoring apps in cloud environment

• Support new workloads • Multi-tenant solutions

for MSP & cloud • SaaS, PAYGo

Monitor End-User Experience for mobile

apps & site

Application performance in

different geographies

• APM for systems of engagement covering B2E and B2C

Application Diagnostics

• Simplified & consumable • Lightweight diagnostic and monitoring for production and

preproduction • SaaS, PAYGo and direct to consumer


Market Demand for APMaaS

IDC expects 19.6% CAGR for Systems

Mgmt SaaS from 2012-2016

Gartner expects APMaaS, which is a subset

of overall Systems Mgmt SaaS, to grow at

100% CAGR over next two years

By 2013, 20% of Global 2000 organizations

will be using APMaaS, up from 10% today

Adoption of traditional APM tools by smaller

companies limited due to high cost of

acquisition

Delivery models that focused on providing

hosted versions of existing products has not

proven as cost effective or flexible as more

recently introduced services Possible to deliver SaaS experience (OPEX pricing/licensing, agility, “zero config,” etc) with an interim solution

SaaS is about the business model more than the technology…


APM EVOLUTION


In 4 years, half of all application

workloads will be running here

Legacy solutions typically manage applications and infrastructure…
