- Application Performance Management (APM) solutions manage the performance, capacity and availability of dynamic applications from the Cloud or a traditional data center.
- APM aims to diagnose application performance issues to ensure that an expected level of service is maintained.
- As part of this monitoring, two specific sets of parameters are closely tracked.
- The first being performance metrics that define end user experience for an application, the second being metrics for computational resources used by the application for a specific load.
- APM solutions not only monitor and analyze logs but also diagnose problems and assist in pro-active performance management.
- APM is most commonly used for web applications where its components can also be individually monitored to pinpoint reasons for possible delays in the system.
- Neev has partnered with APM solutions like AppDynamics and Splunk to offer them to our customers.
Reduce Costs and Build a Strong Operational Foundation with the AWS Migration...Amazon Web Services
Speaker: Romulo Gapuz, Solutions Architect, AWS
Up to 80% of enterprise IT budgets are spent on maintaining existing workloads and keeping the lights on versus focusing on new products and services to better serve customers. Migrating existing workloads to the cloud provide a lever to do that, providing efficiencies and benefits on your existing workloads.
What if you could focus your attention and resources on differentiating your company in the marketplace? What if you could innovate at startup-like speed? And finally, what if you could dramatically reduce the risks inherent in your present infrastructure?
Cloud Migration: Azure acceleration with CAST HighlightCAST
Learn how to accelerate your cloud migration: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/cloud-readiness-and-migration
Cloud migration is table stakes for digital transformation initiatives. The driving factors to get to the cloud vary from organization to organization...for some, it's about cost savings and for others, it's about creating smarter apps that support continuous innovation.
IaaS – For organizations looking to reduce costs, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a great option. IaaS is sometimes described as "Lift and Shift" – when applications are moved from an existing infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. This helps save money by reducing the hardware needed to run those applications and providing flexibility to adjust infrastructure requirements on-demand.
PaaS – For organizations looking for smarter deployments that facilitate digital transformation, streamline the delivery of new feature and support emerging technologies like IoT and Machine Learning, Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a more suitable option. While a considerable percentage of new application development is done with a cloud-first mentality, most legacy software is not optimized for a cloud environment.
So now the question becomes, how do I get my existing application portfolios ready for cloud migration so I can take full advantage of new technologies and processes
Software Intelligence-Based Cloud Readiness
So you’re ready for PaaS, but before you begin to assess the technical and structural requirements of the migration, you must also determine the business drivers for cloud and the desired outcomes. Setting a cloud migration roadmap that is based on comprehensive Software Intelligence that considers both business drivers and technical features of your applications is a critical first step.

The last 18+ months have proven to be like no other time in modern history, and it has had a profound effect on the supply chain in the manufacturing industry. This disruption has meant many restless nights worrying about supply chains, workforce agility, capacity planning, resource allocation, and much more for manufacturers. Manufacturers have realized that better planning and preparedness are crucial to adapting to the rapid changes in demand seen in today's current climate.
In this webinar, you will learn how to address these challenges head-on as we discuss how your organization can become more agile and scale to your specific business requirements and how Cloud ERP systems can support better planning and preparedness for what's next.

After evaluating several leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms and assessing the latest version of its existing solution, The CSL Group chose to deploy Oracle ERP Cloud and Oracle HCM Cloud to modernized its back office operations. The first phase of the overall transformation delivered a strong foundation in only 5 months and allowed the implementation of a new general ledger, chart of accounts, fixed assets module and modern financial reporting platform, along with automated procure to pay process. This session will present CSL roadmap to the Cloud and discuss lessons learned from the project with insights on how to move to the Oracle Cloud ERP successfully.
How to Move from Monitoring to Observability, On-Premises and in a Multi-Clou...Splunk
With the acceleration of customer and business demands, site reliability engineers and IT Ops analysts now require operational visibility into their entire architecture, something that traditional APM tools, dev logging tools, and SRE tools aren’t equipped to provide. Observability enables you to inspect and understand your IT stack on premises and in the cloud(s); It’s no longer about whether your system works (monitoring), but being able to task why it is not working? (Observability). This presentation will outline key steps to take to move from monitoring to observability.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
