dynaTrace is the first APM software solution that resolves the traditional trade-off between deep diagnostics and performance overhead enabling you to:

• Reduce Mean-Time-To-Repair by 90%
• Manage Application Performance on Business-level
• Optimize efficiency in software and hardware deployment
• Trace Business Transactions even throughout Distributed Environments

Reduce Mean-Time-To-Repair by 90%

Gartner rates the average costs of downtime for a business-critical application at $100k per hour. This clearly shows why Mean-Time-to-Repair (MTTR) is such a critical factor.

dynaTrace significantly reduces the MTTR by 90% on average as it redefines and accelerates the problem diagnosis process:

dynaTrace eliminates the need for reproducing problems – even in distributed, heterogeneous Java/.NET environments – because its PurePath Technology enables you to

• Trace each transaction the target application processes during 24x7 operations, providing 100% coverage and ensuring every issue is caught
• Automatically document all information required to reconstruct issues for detailed analysis in a local development environment (in a “dynaTrace Session”)

Moreover, dynaTrace automates the triage of performance problems through a set of fully-configurable production dashboards available out-of-the-box, avoiding finger-pointing and enabling you to quickly find out who is responsible for fixing an issue – be it a developer responsible for a component or a system architect responsible for application server configuration.

Developers or system architects then can easily analyze dynaTrace Sessions offline to reconstruct what has led to the performance problem in the production environment. PurePath Technology allows them to quickly diagnose the problem’s exact root cause deep down in the application’s code – even without requiring access to its source – or in the system configuration. A tight integration with IDEs such as Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio accelerates applying the necessary code changes to resolve the issue.

Manage Application Performance on Business-level

Understanding application performance on business-level is essential for IT operations and business users/management to:

• Understand application availability and usage
• Understand and manage the performance of complex Java/.NET applications
• Proactively identify issues before impacting users
• Prioritize issues based on business impact

dynaTrace provides such an understanding through identifying Business Transactions, which map to individual PurePaths, enabling Business Transaction Monitoring (BTM).

Additionally, dynaTrace allows you to directly feed application performance data on business-level into your favorite Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) solution.

Optimize efficiency in software and hardware deployment

Comparing synchronization times in different deployment scenarios

Due to their excessive overhead, code profiling tools are unsuitable for analyzing potential scalability bottlenecks in staging envrionments. In contrast, traditional IT monitoring tools do not provide the required insights into the inner workings of applications to enable system and software architects to decide how application components should be deployed for optimal scalability.

dynaTrace, however, enables development and system teams to work together smoothly to analyze application scalability characteristics even during high-scale load tests in staging environments. This not only allows you to efficiently tune the deployment of your application components and servers in order to reduce hardware and software purchase and maintenance costs, but also to foster Green IT.

Trace Business Transactions even throughout Distributed Environments

According to Garnter 60% of unplanned downtime for SOA-based, loosely coupled applications will be due to application failure in 2009, up from 40 percent on non-SOA-based applications. This clearly makes performance management on business-level and visibility into the execution of individual transactions to enable rapid problem resolution for today’s applications even more important than ever.

dynaTrace is the only APM solution that supports multi-tier and SOA applications to such an extent, as its PurePath Technology can trace each and every discrete transaction under load, even across heterogeneous and distributed application components down to code-level at production-safe overhead, while visualizing results on business level enabling Business Transaction Monitoring.
