CA Cross Enterprise APM Soln To Transcend Mainframe, Distributed Environments

CA has announced plans to deliver Cross Enterprise Application Performance Management (Cross Enterprise APM), a comprehensive solution for managing application performance in real time across mainframe and distributed environments. The solution will combine the strengths of CA Wily APM and CA SYSVIEW to offer visibility into transactions across mainframe and distributed systems, and provide functionality designed to help customers more rapidly detect and resolve application performance problems before they impact service levels or revenue streams.

CA’s Cross Enterprise APM can help IT organisations optimise performance and availability by measuring the experience of end users and providing a comprehensive understanding of how the distributed and mainframe computing resources along the transaction path are affecting that experience.

CA’s Cross Enterprise APM integrates the real-time monitoring functionality of CA SYSVIEW with CA Wily APM’s application performance management capabilities. CA’s Wily APM software already provides support for managing mission-critical applications running on distributed and mainframe systems, including z/OS and Linux on System z, and the ability to monitor transactions across these environments.

The new solution leverages CA SYSVIEW to incorporate insight into the performance of other key mainframe resources such as IBM’s z/OS operating system, IBM CICS and IBM WebSphere MQ, and CA’s Datacom database, into a customisable enterprise dashboard. CA SYSVIEW also helps provisioning of CICS transaction tracing to help identify and isolate performance problems within the CICS Transaction Server. The solution further maps CICS transaction loads to applications, providing a global view of resource utilisation.
