BMC Software (News - Alert) announced that its application performance management (APM) product portfolio is now available. This offering creates an easy solution for the management of enterprise, software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) and cloud applications within a single operations management framework to anticipate and proactively address application performance management requirements.

In a press release, Kia Behnia, chief technology officer for BMC, said, “Application performance, availability, and SLA adherence are the heart of business critical computing success especially for modern, composite applications that span distributed, mainframe, public and private cloud, or SaaS architectures, and are accessed via a variety of mobile devices. Application performance management from BMC simplifies and unifies critical application performance management, and gives operations teams the visibility and proactive capabilities to meet service levels.”

This new Application Performance Management helps to achieve a 360-degree view of performance and end-user experience, including the application, middleware and infrastructure layers inside the data centre. Thus, it is inclusive of the BMC End User Experience Management, BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management, BMC Middleware Management Transaction Monitoring and BMC Application Problem Resolution capabilities.

Will Cappelli, research vice president at Gartner (News - Alert), said, “The ability to link a strong end-user experience monitoring platform with a solid behaviour learning engine is particularly welcome to application support and IT operations teams. A new generation of APM (News - Alert) tools is quickly emerging to address the increasingly complex, diverse and dynamic computing infrastructures and applications in today's computing environments. Because application performance can become a major cause of unplanned downtime that results in lost revenues, Application Performance Monitoring solutions that feature proactive diagnostics, extensive analytics and end-user experience monitoring provide the best resource for IT departments managing business-critical applications and environments.”
