Continuous Application Performance eKit - Articles, Discussion Panel, Whitepapers, Demos

Company: dynaTrace

Modern Enterprise applications have become more modular, distributed, service oriented - and thus more complex. dynaTrace offers this eKit of best practice information on how to overcome the complexity of modern applications and diagnose the root-cause of performance issues quickly and easily. White Papers, demonstrations and webcasts from dynaTrace and other experts provide examples of how other enterprises are delivering value by rapidly accelerating root-cause isolation and improving performance throughout the application lifecycle.

Articles

• Building Scalability and Performance: A Virtual Panel - Performance and scalability issues are almost always overlooked or dismissed as "something to do later." Find out what Blaine Cook, Randy Shoup, Matt Youill, and FiveRuns engineering panel have to say about performance and scaling and why it’s an issue better addressed sooner rather than later.
• Scalability Practices: Lesson from eBay - Randy Shoup shares his experiences, and the lessons learned from them, about scaling and eBay. Not only does Randy share the lessons learned with you but also why they were important. Learn why Randy believes scalability to be a "Priority-0" requirement.
• Java Magazine: Profiling, Diagnosis, and Monitoring - An overview of profiling, diagnosis, and monitoring tools. Learn what they do and how they can help you develop and deploy projects in a mission critical environment.

Whitepapers

• Going Beyond Profiling -Using profilers for application performance analysis relies on many assumptions that do not hold true in most situations. The collection of simple statistical performance values may mask systemic performance problems and often makes root cause isolation difficult. High execution overhead and the lack of support for distributed, heterogeneous systems additionally prohibit their use under real world conditions.
• Performance Management Diagnostics is Distributed Applications - Get a detailed overview of potential problems caused by tuning your SOA, Java or .NET applications and learn why traditional tools provide only little actionable information. You will see what information you really need to easily detect, diagnose and resolve such problems in testing and production environments.
• Deliver High Performance Remoting - With these levels of complexity in business applications have come a host of challenges associated with the accurate and timely monitoring, diagnosing and tuning of distributed applications. Learn how to dramatically simplify these processes and provide you with the visibility and context you need to ensure distributed application performance at the highest level.
• Transforming Load Testing into a Turnkey Process - Learn why diagnosing and resolving application problems requires a new generation of application performance diagnostics tools, which provide easy problem triage and in-depth analysis functionality for applications under full load while tightly integrating with your load testing solution.
