BTM Podcast: Correlsense and Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching

by doug on January 9, 2009

In this podcast, Lanir and I dive into the approach that Correlsense and their SharePath product takes for the second of four key areas that a Business Transaction Management (BTM) solution must incorporate which is Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching.

Listen to the podcast for insight into the thoughts Lanir shares on these Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching concepts (and more!):

  • Learn why transaction tagging may not be the best approach for transaction tracing and tracking
  • Hear about Correlsense’s innovative approach to tracing, tracking and stitching transactions
  • Listen to Lanir’s thoughts on why ARM is a great concept, could work if thoroughly deployed, and his opinion on why ARM never really took off
  • Why consulting, education and knowledge transfer between the vendor, monitoring tools group and key service and application groups (operations, application support/development) is critical to realizing the full value proposition of BTM
  • Learn about how the value proposition for BTM increases when extended to the end point using emerging End User Service Management (EUSM) or End User Performance Management (EUPM) solutions such as Aternity, Knoa, Serden and Coradiant
  • Why BTM solutions can fill the gap in your change, configuration, release management or CMDB strategy by providing the missing end-to-end logical components missing from most solutions today.

In our next podcast, Lanir and I will discuss the third core capability of a BTM solution which is Transaction Monitoring. Listen to our previous podcasts here and here.

BTM Podcast: Correlsense and Transaction Discovery

by doug on January 7, 2009

After a successful CMG ‘08 show and the holidays I was finally able to catch up and continue my discussion with Lanir Shacham (Founder and CTO) of Correlsense. The Correlsense team, friends and families are all safe and sound during the current Israeli crisis which I’m happy to hear.

In this podcast, Lanir and I dive into the approach that Correlsense and their SharePath product takes for the first of four key areas that a Business Transaction Management (BTM) solution must incorporate which is Transaction Discovery.

Listen to the podcast for insight into the thoughts Lanir shares on these Transaction Discovery topics:

  • Transaction Discovery Techniques and why an agent based approach is the only way to discover end-to-end transaction flows.
  • Transaction Types including synchronous, asynchronous and aggregate transaction scenarios.
  • Transaction Discovery Agents and why one core agent type is all that’s needed in most cases.
  • Architectures for Transaction Discovery Storage, Transaction Data Store or Data Warehousing, OLAP and techniques for supporting both real time and historical analytics and intelligence capabilities (monitoring, dashboards, reporting, charting, what if’s, etc.)

In our next podcast, Lanir and I will discuss the second core capability of a BTM solution which is Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching.
