APM: A Strategic Component Of A Successful Big Data Deployment

Compuware Corporation, the technology performance company, has announced the publication of the first volume of its new Application Performance Management (APM) Best Practices collection titled: “2013 APM State-of-the-Art and Trends.” Written by Compuware’s APM Center of Excellence thought leaders and experts, the collection features 10 articles on the technology topics shaping APM in 2013.

For organisations that depend on high-performance applications, the collection provides an easy-to-absorb overview of the evolution of APM technology, best practices, methodology and techniques to help manage and optimise application performance.

The best practices are organised around the following 5 key 2013 APM trends:

1. Increased complexity across the edge, cloud and datacentre will create new challenges for delivering great end-user application experiences.

2. Performance analytics will be a requirement for a complete APM strategy.

3. The mobile surge will continue, and drive the industrialisation of mobile applications.

4. APM will become a strategic component of a successful Big Data deployment.

5. A lifecycle approach to APM will drive further adoption of DevOps and Agile operations.

The APM Best Practices: 2013 APM State-of-the-Art and Trends collection helps IT professionals and business stakeholders keep pace with these changes and learn how application performance techniques will develop over the new year. The collection not only explores APM technology but also examines the related business implications and provides recommendations for how best to leverage APM.

“This collection is a source of knowledge, providing valuable information about application performance for all business and technical stakeholders,” said Neeraj Dotel, Managing Director, Compuware Corporation, India. “IT professionals can use the collection to help implement leading APM practices in their organisations and to set direction for proactive performance improvements. Organisations not currently using APM can discover how other companies are leveraging APM to solve business and technology problems, and how these solutions might apply to their own situations.”
