IBM tech talk series for cloud computing

Today's businesses rely on an increasing number and variety of mission-critical business applications. When these applications perform poorly, customer satisfaction suffers, and revenue can be impacted. If they fail, business grinds to a halt, potentially costing millions of dollars. From complex business applications like SAP, to communications platforms like email servers, to mission critical custom applications — these applications are often distributed across complex infrastructures spanning private data centers to hybrid clouds to public clouds. Siloed management tools or management tools that only cover one or two platforms are insufficient to ensure the performance of critical applications. Agile IT organizations need broad platform coverage; powerful infrastructure and application monitoring; sophisticated reporting and dashboards; and a solution that leverages analytics to help provide actionable insight from all the performance data collected.

Highlights

Using a presentation and a live demo, this session covers:

• The benefits of this lightweight solution capable of running on public clouds, which application owners can purchase off the web, and download and deploy themselves in minutes, with nothing to install in the cloud infrastructure
• How IBM SmartCloud Application Performance Management solution provides out-of-the-box configurations for rapid time to value
• The convergence of these tools into a seamless set of on-premises and SaaS offerings, allowing customers with changing needs to move seamlessly from technology to technology
