APM Webinar: The Seven Deadly Sins of Network Management
Today’s businesses constantly demand higher levels of service and reduced cost from IT. The network bears more than its share of the burden when it comes to availability, reliability, performance, and scalability. Network engineers often are tasked with troubleshooting network problems that result from or are comingled with application issues. Additionally, with the rise of service-oriented architectures, multiple redundant data centers, and increased connectivity of branch offices, off-site employees, and partners, IT infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex and distributed, making the task of application delivery even more difficult.ACCESS NOW

APM Webinar: Best Practices for Achieving Application Delivery Assurance in the Enterprise
Managing application performance in the enterprise is more burdensome than ever. With every linear increase in functionality, there is an exponential increase in complexity. New technologies like server virtualization, network attached storage, and cloud computing—while adding flexibility and reducing cost—have only increased management challenges. Thankfully, new technology advances have made it possible to gain a single view of application performance across network, server, storage, and directory services tiers—without adding another layer of “monitoring infrastructure” complexity.ACCESS NOW

APM, NPM, ANPM: Monitoring Business-Critical Transactions at the Application Tier
There is a lot of confusion today about the difference between application performance management (APM), network performance management (NPM), and a new category called application-aware network performance management (ANPM). To make matters worse, vendors are self-selecting into the category of their choice. This is a challenge for anyone looking for the best solution to monitor business-critical transactions.ACCESS NOW

Today’s businesses constantly demand higher levels of service and reduced cost from IT. The network bears more than its share of the burden when it comes to availability, reliability, performance, and scalability. Network engineers often are tasked with troubleshooting network problems that result from or are commingled with application issues.

WHITE PAPER
APM White Paper: Achieving Instant ROI for Network and Application Management
IT manages an increasingly complex array of distributed applications and infrastructure. Adopting new technologies such as network attached storage, server virtualization and cloud computing creates more layers of management and complexity. Legacy management tools, including packet sniffers, SNMP pollers, NetFlow collectors, and custom performance agents are not enough. Relying on these tools puts IT further and further behind. ExtraHop’s Application Performance Management (APM) system solves IT performance problems with state-of-the-art technology that gives a complete picture of the network in real-time.ACCESS NOW
WHITE PAPER
Ten Best Practices for Optimizing Application Delivery Controller (ADC) Deployments
Load balancers were created to distribute web requests across a pool of servers to improve scalability and availability. Early load balancers were simple catch-and-release systems that buffered packets and then released them while applying smart network address translation. Over time, load balancers evolved into Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) as they took on additional features such as TCP optimization, SSL termination, and HTTP caching. Today, modern Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) are critical control points in the application environment. However, with these advanced capabilities comes greater complexity and management challenges. This white paper examines the complexities around deploying ADCs and focuses on some best practices for deploying ADCs such as the BIG-IP product family from F5 Networks.ACCESS NOW

December 2008: Enterprise Management Associates (EMA): ExtraHop Leaps Network/Application Gap, by Jim Frey
Anyone who is tasked with assuring quality application delivery across today’s globally distributed, virtualized network and computing infrastructures will tell you that it’s difficult to understand which of the many interconnected pieces is to blame when applications degrade. It’s often a needle-in-the-haystack problem. On December 9, 2008, that problem may have gotten a little easier to tackle with ExtraHop Network’s introduction of the ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance System. The new company is taking new aim on leveraging the deep and rich information available by monitoring network packets and focusing on what stories that data can tell across the delivery stack but especially within the application layer, where much of the action takes place.ACCESS NOW
