With SmartMonitoring, PEER 1 customers can choose the services and features, from basic to highly complex, that are most vital to their business success. These services are available through SmartMonitoring's on-demand platform interface, which provides anyone in the organization, from CEO to system engineer, understandable, information on how application and system components are working together. This real-time data gives insight into potential issues so they can be proactively addressed in the most efficient and timely way.
"Absolute Performance is excited to be launching advanced, enterprise-class monitoring services with PEER 1," said Absolute Performance vice president of sales, Harold Montano. "This capability changes the landscape of application performance monitoring available to customers at very affordable price points. The scalability and flexibility of the System Shepherd(R) platform provides customers with the access and visibility into their application performance, infrastructure capacity, and key business metrics necessary to make key business technology decisions."
The SmartMonitoring suite offers a range of service levels along with additional features to choose from. The service levels are each comprised of a combination of full OS monitoring, application/database instance monitoring, URL monitoring, and TCP-port monitoring, tracking pre-determined and customized metrics for a given instance determined by the user. These services are completely automated and send instant alerts when a set threshold is exceeded or an event is detected.
In addition to standard monitoring levels, SmartMonitoring offers a range of customizable features including:
*WebWalkTM: Provides the ability to experience the end-user perspective from any online location, including speed of page access or transaction time, and validating links or page and database content, using synthetic transactions to measure application performance. *StressWalkTM: This feature puts the system through its paces by providing traffic stress exercises and predictions of how the web- based services will perform. This simulation process delivers excellent data and metrics to support important infrastructure decisions.
Using the SmartMonitoring platform interface, these services and features can be configured on-demand for individual servers. SmartMonitoring provides a comprehensive library of metric "templates", providing full control over the instrumentation and data collection of performance metrics. This allows users to gain deep visibility into operating system and application variables and proactively pinpoint issues and minimize downtime.
