AppDynamics brings Application Analytics for distributed application environments

BANGALORE, INDIA: AppDynamics announced its new solution AppDynamics Application Analytics, that provides real-time IT operations and business operations intelligence from across distributed application environments.

Application Analytics captures raw business data from every line of code in all layers of an application and across every single node, without requiring code changes or additional infrastructure. There is no need for coding, as is required to collect data from log files. And unlike data warehousing, which can only provide historical snapshots of completed transactions, Application Analytics provides an up-to-the-minute, real-time view into transactions that are in flight.

The solution is easy to deploy and massively scalable, capable of handling a trillion metrics daily.

“Application Analytics addresses the biggest data challenges enterprises face today — volume, velocity, and variety,” said Jyoti Bansal, founder and CEO of AppDynamics. “Huge volumes of data are being generated at blinding speed, and it’s coming from every direction — the cloud, different devices, and complex application infrastructures. But it’s just so much noise if it can’t be efficiently harvested and parsed. That’s what Application Analytics does. With the lens of business context, no matter how fast the data comes at you, it quickly makes sense, and gives a basis for smart, insightful decision-making.”

Application Analytics Use Cases

• Business impact analysis. Quantify the dollars-and-cents impact of stalls and outages, and identify and communicate with impacted customers to recover their business and preserve a positive brand perception.
• Business operations monitoring. Pinpoint where in the process a transaction is stuck, and know how to resolve it.
• Performance analytics. Identify poor-performing transactions and understand the cause in order to prioritize IT investments.
• Customer analytics. Understand user behavior and usage trends to optimize user engagement  and conversions.
• SLA management. Real-time reporting on service level agreement performance.

AppDynamics Application Analytics, which completed its beta as “Transaction Analytics,” will be available with the Fall 2014 Release. A free trial of AppDynamics is available.
