Web applications are more complex than legacy client server or mainframe applications. They introduce new technologies such J2EE, .NET, SaaS, AJAX, Flash, SOA, and Mashups into the dynamic datacenter, bringing with them a new set of management challenges. Traditional tools are not designed to keep up with continual innovation, and cannot provide the information required to manage such complexity. In this white paper we help you understand the challenges inherent in these new applications, and outline the four requirements to effectively manage their performance.
Learn a simple, comprehensive, system management approach specifically designed to meet the unique challenges posed by the web infrastructure. This paper outlines the major benefits of collecting performance metrics at key points from browser through database. Practical examples are used to examine key metrics for understanding web performance in real time and allowing IT to efficiently meet service requirements.
Unfortunately, while SOA enables the rapid implementation of business applications, it also greatly increases the complexity of managing performance when these applications are deployed in production — often to the point of eroding any benefits secured through the SOA adoption. This paper examines the performance management challenges facing IT, and also describes a user-centric approach to monitoring and diagnosing SOA application performance issues that addresses these challenges.
The number of organizations adopting ADCs (application delivery controllers), especially F5's BIG-IP, to accelerate Web application performance is growing rapidly. With this increased market momentum, IT people need to ensure that the BIG-IP and more importantly the Web applications delivered by BIG-IP are indeed optimized from real user's perspective.
