DETROIT, Jan. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR) has published a new whitepaper titled: "Who Moved My App? How to Achieve Effective Application Performance in a Virtualized World." The paper details what IT organizations should look for in an application performance management (APM) solution to ensure the success of their virtualized environment.
Under pressure to "do more with less," IT departments are rapidly virtualizing their infrastructure. Server virtualization provides many benefits, such as cost savings and flexible response to peak demands, but all those gains can be lost if virtualized applications slow down, perform poorly for end users or get harder for IT to troubleshoot and fix. The damage in such cases includes lost productivity, lost revenue and lost credibility for IT.
The only effective way to achieve visibility into -- and optimization of -- application performance in a virtualized environment is with an end-to-end approach that starts from the user's perspective. This approach must combine high-level transactional views that span virtual machines along with deep insight into Java and .NET applications, as well as network, server and mainframe infrastructure components. Additionally, the results must be integrated with a top-down view of the business impact of any issues to give IT a real-world set of priorities.
The Compuware whitepaper outlines the challenges of troubleshooting application performance in a virtualized environment and how a successful APM solution like Compuware Vantage can quickly pinpoint the root cause of any issues and determine their true business impact.
