AppDynamics Now Offers Software-as-a-Service Delivery Option for Application Performance Management

Focus on Ease of Use and Rapid Time-to-Value are Hallmarks of AppDynamics’ Innovative Approach

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 16, 2010 – AppDynamics, the next-generation Application Performance Management (APM) company, today announced at the Cloud Connect conference that it now offers its APM solution via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery option in addition to its on-premise offering.  By providing a choice of deployment options, AppDynamics allows enterprises to manage performance of their mission-critical applications running across cloud, virtual and physical environments with unprecedented ease-of-use, and without compromising their security or integration requirements.

AppDynamics distinguishes itself from other APM vendors through its ability to easily and accurately manage distributed applications in high-volume production environments, and has contributed to the success of key customers such as Priceline.com and Yap.  AppDynamics offers specific capabilities that are required for a “next generation” APM solution, including cloud orchestration, application mapping, transaction flow monitoring, and code-level diagnostics.

The addition of a SaaS deployment option aligns with the company’s mission statement to make a complex yet mission-critical task—the management of distributed applications—into an intuitive process that simplifies the lives of IT operations and other application professionals.  Specifically, the AppDynamics SaaS delivery allows companies to:

  • Immediately begin to troubleshoot and diagnose the root cause of performance problems
  • Take advantage of immediate upgrades when AppDynamics releases new versions
  • “Pay as they go” via a flexible subscription model

 “AppDynamics now allows organizations to choose the right deployment path that best meets their needs,” said Jyoti Bansal, AppDynamics founder and CEO. “Our Software-as-Service option offers rapid deployment and simplified management while adhering to strict enterprise compliance and security requirements.  Our on-premise software offers extraordinary ease-of-use combined with an open and deep architecture that meets custom integration needs, while being easy for IT departments to maintain and upgrade.”
