Applications are central to the way companies do business today. The problem businesses face is two-fold: not only is the application essential to the way they compete, but the competitive bar has been raised by the tech giants of the world—Google, Facebook, Netflix, et al.—who’ve evolved as design-led, cloud-native organizations that know how to iterate […]

IT infrastructure management in financial services looks very different from other industries. In this highly regulated space, concerns about security and uptime abound. And with good reason: millions of sensitive monthly — if not daily — transactions means there’s pretty much zero margin for error. And it makes sense. After all, your applications don’t just […]

As your enterprise IT infrastructure grows more distributed by the minute, you might know what it feels like to be treading water in an ocean of data. And you’re not alone. For most companies developing and monitoring apps to accommodate increasingly fragmented customer experiences, innovation comes with complexity in the form of fragmented data and […]

In a bid to meet customer demand, businesses today are innovating and scaling in faster, more cost-effective ways than ever before. But with this new scale and efficiency also comes greater operational complexity, reducing visibility across the entire technology stack. As a result, most organizations don’t fully understand the connection between the changes they make […]

Infrastructure failures can expose gaps in system monitoring and inspire a chaos engineering approach—essentially tossing the proverbial monkey wrench into a system to proactively find and fix problems before they lead to outages. If you’re running a Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) environment on Amazon AWS, for example, you may get notification of failures via an […]

Stateless apps are easy, stateful are not. How about those apps in between? Those that cache things for performance reasons but can tolerate data loss. Those apps that can reobtain the data from some other highly available entity—the uptime of which is someone else’s headache. Let’s consider the AppDynamics ClusterAgent, a monitoring solution for various […]

To keep pace with dynamic scaling needs in the enterprise, AppDynamics has released its next-generation controller architecture. This new release allows users to rapidly on-board distributed applications into a single, scalable monitoring platform.
