HP Helps Clients Improve Performance Management for Cloud and Mobile Applications

HP announced a new software offering that helps clients improve performance management of cloud and mobile applications by enhancing mobile monitoring and increasing collaboration between operations and development teams. These new features help organizations adopt a new set of software delivery practices – DevOps – for the continuous delivery of high-quality applications.

HP Application Performance Management (APM) 9.2 for Converged Cloud includes major enhancements to HP Diagnostics, HP Real User Monitor (RUM) and HP SiteScope, which enable clients to manage applications in both private and public cloud environments.

As clients adopt cloud environments and digitize business processes, the performance of those applications and business processes become unavoidably intertwined. The close relationship between applications and business processes also adds a new layer of complexity to a cloud-based infrastructure.

Poor application performance can impede the ability of enterprises and governments to perform business-critical tasks including taking orders, shipping products, receiving payments, paying personnel and ordering necessary supplies. When critical business services are disrupted, the negative ripple effect on the technology infrastructure can cost an average of $84,000 for every hour of downtime.
