Compuware Enhances Its APM Platform

Compuware Corporation, the technology performance company, has announced a major new release of its integrated application performance management (APM) solution, the Compuware APM platform. The Compuware APM Spring 2012 Platform Release introduces a new generation of APM with four industry-first innovations across its dynaTrace and Gomez product brands that help customers optimise the performance and value of their business-critical applications.

This new release represents the next phase in Compuware’s unified APM strategy. It is the first release of the new Compuware APM brand with Gomez and dynaTrace as major sub brands within it.
Mobile computing, the cloud and streaming are all rapidly growing areas, adding to the complexity and challenge of maintaining application performance to grow revenue, protect brand reputation and decrease costs. Managing this challenge requires visibility and deep-dive analytics across the entire application delivery chain to rapidly find and fix problems that may occur in the datacentre, cloud or the end user’s device. At the same time, organisations are challenged to deliver applications with more features, in shorter cycles and with fewer resources than ever before.

Compuware’s Spring 2012 Release tackles these challenges with a new generation of APM innovations. Compuware User Experience Management (UEM) simplifies performance management at the edge of the internet, enabling customers to optimise end-user experience and decrease abandonment.

Compuware APM combines application and network performance management to tackle the increasing challenges of complex datacentres, resulting in reduced mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR), slashed performance management costs and simplified deployments.

Compuware dynaTrace Enterprise delivers the industry’s first solution to simplify performance optimisation, operation and management of modern, dynamic applications. Major architectural enhancements significantly reduce time-to-value and support new pricing that allows IT teams to easily start with a single application and cost-effectively scale to enterprise-wide deployments.

“The application landscape is changing rapidly with new native mobile applications, an exploding number of cloud services, elastic cloud infrastructures and a growing business drive to bring more application functionality to market faster. A new generation application management system that goes well beyond traditional datacentre monitoring is required,” said John Van Siclen, General Manager of Compuware’s APM business unit.

“This release addresses these new requirements while at the same time simplifying and automating away the APM complexity of the past. The Compuware APM platform is easily integrated into any existing IT environment with significant value received in literally minutes. Because of its modular design with SaaS and enterprise options, this new platform fits a very wide market from the largest enterprise to SMB/SME customers who–until now–considered APM systems such as this simply out of their reach,” he said.
