Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

End To End APM Reports

Optimizing Application Performance In Virtualized Environments

Virtualization can hide performance issues from traditional tools. We provide guidelines to help you understand the hurdles that virtualization puts in front of APM, and how to get over them.

APM: How to Calculate Your Costs

Application performance management products are essential for monitoring and troubleshooting critical apps. They're also very expensive. This report guides you through a TCO exercise to help you calculate the capital and operational expenses of an APM product set, including pre-deployment steps and consulting and IT costs.

Bringing APM to the Cloud

Moving applications to the cloud renders most APM tools useless. We look at how APM products are evolving to meet cloud challenges, and steps IT must take to adapt APM tools and metrics to public cloud environments.

APM Deployment Options

IT has many choices to make when deploying application performance management (APM) tools. This report drills into APM architectures and provides guidance for optimal deployment. We also examine results from our 2010 APM deployment survey.

Perception Is Reality: Why IT Must Own Application Performance

Proactive is the name of the game in today's ultra-competitive environment. And if you're banking on moving to the cloud or heavy virtualization, make sure you don't go too far down these roads without having an application performance monitoring (APM) plan in place. Otherwise, even the most basic problem may cause hours of downtime and a level of user frustration that no one wants to deal with.Yet, deal with frustration we are-it's disturbing that 25% of the 320 business technology professionals who responded to our InformationWeek Analytics APM survey say they experience application performance problems on a daily or weekly basis. An additional 28% say issues crop up monthly.
