Today’s business environment increases the pressure on nearly everyone teams to go beyond their traditional roles. Everyone from infrastructure and operations professionals, application owners, application developers and DevOps team members now need to help drive continuous innovation to meet business objectives.
Continuous innovation is driven by continuous delivery of new and updated applications. It is easy to see why application performance management (APM) tools have become such a necessity. IBM has long been recognized as an industry leader in application performance management, most recently by Forrester in their Application Performance Management Leadership report.
This week, we’re aiming to strengthen our leadership position with new enhancements to our IBM Cloud Application Performance Management offering.
Here’s what the latest version of IBM APM delivers:
Custom UI builder. Create your own dashboards to hand tailor the exact monitoring experience you need
Monitor your APIs. Ensure availability and performance of exposed APIs from your secured enterprise services, and determine root cause for problematic transactions that span through multiple backend services
Expanded coverage of application environments. This includes new support for IBM Middleware on Linux on Power LE and Linux on System z and other popular offerings.
Data retention. Retain and visualize data for trend analysis and export reports
We’ve also simplified the APM portfolio to two core offerings. IBM Cloud APM, Base is for IT operations teams. The other offering is IBM Cloud APM, Advanced for app owners, developers, DevOps teams, and IT Operations teams. Why? Each offering customizes more relevant performance information than ever before.
Here are some additional capabilities specific to each offering.
