With APM, You Can Finally Say “It’s Not the Network!”

When business-critical applications aren’t running at peak performance – or even worse, aren’t running at all – your help desk queue starts growing exponentially, along with the angry phone calls. As the trouble tickets mount, it can be a mad dash to troubleshoot the root cause of the issue. As the network engineer, usually the buck stops with you, regardless of whether the problem stems from the application, the server, or the network.

Orion Application Performance Monitor (APM) extends Orion’s powerful monitoring capabilities to applications and servers, enabling you to confidently say “It’s not the network!” (or meekly admit, “It is the network.”) Finally, you can get the visibility you need into the performance of applications and the underlying operating systems and servers they run on. APM delivers a one-stop shop for monitoring network, application, and server data in a single, unified console, enabling you to quickly identify and resolve issues with business-critical applications – before they affect your end users.

Application Performance Monitor Highlights:

• Quickly determine the root cause of application performance issues with a unified view into network, application, and server monitoring data
• Perform advanced monitoring of Windows, UNIX, and Linux servers by tracking running services, process availability, number of instances running, memory usage, and CPU utilization via SNMP or WMI
• Actively monitor availability of any port on your network, as well as the responsiveness of critical network services with out-of-the-box monitors for DNS, IMAP4, POP3, and more
• Monitor end-user experience for web applications using synthetic transactions to check and verify the performance and content of HTML pages
• View Top Ten lists for application monitoring data in the Orion console
• Create application monitoring templates with custom groups of monitors and settings that can be applied to multiple servers, saving you time and eliminating repetitive configuration tasks

“Application Performance Monitor has better granularity and provides more details, so we know more quickly when we have problems.”
