1. Application Performance Management (APM) is the practice of
monitoring the performance and availability of
software applications.

2. But what APM really boils down to is ensuring a positive user experience!

3. Hi, I’m Aruna
Ravichandran, VP of APM
at CA Technologies and I’m
here to clarify APM for
you!
What the
heck is APM?

4. In today’s application economy, you can’t afford to have problems that
can bring an app down.

5. You need to find an effective way to:

6. Build…

7. Deploy…

8. And manage all of your applications.

9. Because ensuring a positive user experience makes every transaction a
loyalty-building interaction.

10. And in a world with thousands of options for everything, loyalty can make
(or break) a company!

11. So I bet you’re wondering, “What can APM do for me?”
What
can
APM do
for
me?

12. First, I want to introduce you to the concept of
Mobile-to-Mainframe Visibility.

13. This gives you 20/20 visibility into the health and performance of your
entire application infrastructure.

14. Meaning you can pinpoint issues from the Mobile device/Client
browser through Web Tier, Application Tier, Network,
Middleware, or Database…

15. ...all the way to the Mainframe backend. Now that’s application insight!

16. APM also includes Application Behavior Analytics, which
automatically identifies complex performance issues BEFORE they
become a real problem.

17. This enables diagnostic teams to solve problems faster and gain a better
understanding of their environments!

18. And on top of that benefit, the software essentially teaches
itself which application behaviors are normal and abnormal.

19. Analytics are redefining triage!

20. But what APM really comes down to is the principle that
“Scale is Trust”…

21. Meaning, you can start with one instance of APM to collect up to 500,000
application metrics…

22. And grow to monitoring billions of metrics across all of your applications
every day!

23. Just like a large telecom company, which collects 144 Billion
metrics per day…

24. And an online tax company that uses the software to manage
2.5 million concurrent customers!

25. But what makes us so credible?

26. We have been a big player in the APM market for 14 years and have 80+
patents dedicated to APM innovation.
