Interesting Links for January 12th

in General

Links that I have found interesting for January 12th:

  • WSO2 launches new Business Activity monitoring – Application Development & SOA : News – Open source SOA firm WSO2 has launched Business Activity Monitor (WSO2 BAM) that provides real-time visibility into service-oriented architecture (SOA) processes, transactions and workflows.

    The company claims that the new BAM system is designed to support the heterogeneous SOAs that dominate the enterprise landscape, providing a lightweight and easy-to-deploy alternative to traditionally large business activity monitoring offerings.

  • What Do Business Transaction Monitoring And Twitter Have To Do With Each Other? « Application Performance Management Software – Why did Nastel® add Twitter to their software? Because it improves the ease with which communicated alerts reach a changing audience. Because it eliminates the need to know what technology is on the receiving end of an alert transmission. Now the IT team that is responsible for your company’s transaction management has the assurance that the messages that AutoPilot generates will get through to their destination.
  • How End-User Monitoring “Graduated” from APM – So what does End-User Monitoring really mean? Once again, the answer is: it depends.

    -If you ask Web Monitoring vendors, End-User Monitoring means monitoring the performance of Web applications from outside the corporate firewall.

    -If you ask networking vendors, End-User Monitoring means capturing packet flow data and using this information to estimate the speed of applications as experienced by business-users.

    -If you ask vendors that provide desktop-based solutions for application monitoring, it would mean, first, identifying the number of users or applications impacted by performance issues, second, business processes that are suffering or, third, learning about problems with end-user experience before end-users call a help-desk.

    -If you ask BTM vendors, it means monitoring application speed and availability for each transaction.

    The bottom line is: the quality of end-user experience is not a metric, it’s a concept.
