Cross Enterprise App Mgt from CA

MUMBAI, INDIA: 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 gulf that has historically divided mainframe systems management and distributed systems management at most IT organizations is extremely problematic when it comes to maintaining the health of the kind of multi-tier applications widely in use today," said Bill Malik, research director, Gartner. "By offering a practical way to bridge this gulf, tools that collect and assess information from multiple platforms can help IT organizations do a better job of ensuring optimized service levels for these multi-tier applications."   

The solution, it says will combine the strengths of deep 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.

Continuous availability and high performance of applications is critical for customer retention and overall business success in today's highly competitive markets, adds a press release. CA's Cross Enterprise APM can help IT organizations optimize 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.
