The 2009 Handbook of Application Delivery

A Guide to Decision Making in Challenging Economic Times by Dr. Jim Metzler
Excerpt: (Get Instant Access to the full Application Delivery Handbook below)

Over the last few years application delivery has become a priority for virtually all IT organizations. However, while many IT organizations have become better at application delivery, the majority of IT organizations struggle with this highly complex task. One of the primary goals of this handbook is to help IT organizations become better with application delivery. One of the ways that the handbook achieves that goal is by creating a framework that IT organizations can customize for use in their environment. The four primary components of the framework are:

  •   Planning
  •    Network and Application Optimization
  •    Management
  •    Control
In 2009, the economy is politely referred to as being challenging. While this challenging economic environment will certainly put pressure on IT budgets, IT organizations need to continue to invest in application delivery solutions. That follows in large part because IT organizations have made, and continue to make, significant investments in enterprise applications to support key business processes. IT organizations need to protect these investments, and the business processes that they enable, by ensuring that these applications can be effectively delivered.

  • FirstView Application Performance Management

FirstView Application Performance Management  tracks and measures end-user response time and availability. It monitors all the TCP application packets as they travel from the network through the data center and out again, providing a way to measure network round trip time, server response time, data transfer time, and much more.
FirstView breaks response time into its basic components: application, server, and network delay. This analysis enables you to rapidly troubleshoot network and application performance bottlenecks and quantify application performance. It continually measures and analyzes performance for all transactions, compares the response time against the baselines and thresholds that it calculates, and alerts you to application performance deterioration. FirstView automatically investigates the cause of problems as they occur and provides key diagnostic data to help you quickly solve network and application performance problems.
