Migrating to the Cloud – Is Application Performance Monitoring still required?eG Innovations
As more businesses adopt cloud technologies for their various benefits it must be noted that not all cloud offerings are the same and provide different services or infra SLA. Do you know that not all SLA from cloud providers mean your application will be ensured similar availability?
Depending on whether you are leveraging Saas, Paas, Iaas, etc to deliver your applications, you will have a different level of visibility and control of how you manage performance and deliver the user experience expected by your users.
Join the session and find out what remains within your responsibility and how you can monitor the various cloud infrastructure/services to give yourself the needed visibility to deliver the expected user experience without over-provisioning to ensure better performance.
Key criteria for choosing APM solutions for the next normal: analysis of surv...eG Innovations
Historically, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools have mainly been focused on providing code level visibility for web applications. IT managers have had to deploy these solutions to complement infrastructure monitoring solutions to get end-to-end visibility across applications and services.
To understand how the APM needs of organizations have evolved in the next normal, eG Innovations and DevOps Institute conducted a survey. Over 900 software professionals - DevOps engineers, SREs, ITOps teams and system admins – shared their knowledge and thinking.
We’ve invited Eveline Oehrlich, Chief Research Officer at DevOps Institute and ex-Forrester VP and Research Director to join us to dissect the results of this survey. Eveline will share her experiences and knowledge within the APM space, discuss trends and will discuss what the future of APM should look like. Also joining the discussion will be Arun Aravamudhan, Head of Java APM and Web Products and web products at eG Innovations.
We are looking forward to you joining this webinar. Here are some highlights on what we will cover:
- Why APM is no longer just about code-level analysis
- The need for converged application and infrastructure monitoring
- The strategy for Kubernetes and cloud monitoring in the next normal
- The challenges with native cloud monitoring options
- Application performance management has gained management attention
Register now and learn the current state of APM adoption and how business needs in the next normal will change how APM should be leveraged.
How Citrix Admins can get a Virtual AssistanteG Innovations
By offering a unified place for people to access any app, whether SaaS, web, mobile or virtual digital workspaces have become mission-critical for the new way of work. As digital workspaces evolve in scale, complexity and business importance Citrix Admins need unified visibility and actionable insights to diagnose and resolve performance issues across the entire IT environment—both physical and virtual; both on-premises and cloud.
This requires deep Citrix domain expertise along with end-to-end visibility across Citrix and non-Citrix tiers; which can quickly overwhelm most Citrix administrators. Citrix Admins need a virtual assistant to:
• Proactively monitor digital workspace user experience
• Automatically isolate and remediate performance issues
• Align capacity to changing business and user requirements
• Improve user experience with embedded analytics
Join John Worthington, Director Customer Success and Nanda Kumar, Director Solutions Engineering at eG Innovations, for an action-packed demonstration of how eG Enterprise is the digital assistant every Citrix Admin needs.
Make synthetic monitoring a critical part of your IT monitoring strategy: Why...eG Innovations
Many IT monitoring tools fail in the real-world because they are reactive to events that have happened. The first time the IT team knows there is a problem is when the service desk sees a pile of tickets with users complaining that their “application is slow.”
Adding a layer of synthetic monitoring can make ITOps go from being reactive to proactive. This helps the ITOps team to cut down on the number of service desk tickets because you can see where the bottlenecks are before end-users even notice.
While logon simulators are ubiquitous for Citrix and VMware Horizon environments, users really care about whether the applications they use in their job such as SAP, Office, Epic or Salesforce are responsive and usable.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn:
- How to record and automate REAL workflows to test any application – web apps or thick apps within a published desktops like Citrix, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, etc.
- How to check that web apps used by your employees are not just responsive but working as expected – this is critical for businesses that rely on SaaS applications like Office 365 and Salesforce
- How to validate that employees are able to logon to published desktops AND perform routine tasks in applications like SAP and Epic
- How to correlate the performance of the application with the underlying IT infrastructure to determine if bottlenecks are on the users’ network, in the third-party application or within your infrastructure
If you are struggling to be proactive, or to shift from monitoring resources to monitoring the digital experience of your users, then you need to attend this webinar to see just how easy it is to get started with synthetic monitoring.

• Lack of visibility across silos
• Complex and/or slow issue identification
• Proactive problem solving

Poll: What Are Your Biggest
Migration Performance Challenges?
5. Significant change underway in today’s IT environments:
• Traditional desktop to virtual desktop (including upgrade XenApp
4.5 to 6.5, 6.5 to 7.5, Windows XP to Windows 7/8)
• Physical to cloud migration, including hybrid cloud. Don’t forget
software!
• Virtualization of infrastructure and app layers—some legacy apps not
designed for virtualization
• Moving off Windows Server 2003 and AIX. They’re still out there!
Users expect the same or better performance after the migration
as they had before the migration. And when performance
problems occur, the migration is blamed first.
Migration Trends
6. • Migration increases complexity of underlying IT
platforms—Dependencies discovered the hard way.
• Migration project delays due to unexpected
performance and availability issues
• Migration project cost overruns due to new
hardware and software demands/requirements
greater than original design
• Legacy applications running on legacy
infrastructure. Don’t know where to start.
• Configuration Drift: ITSM issue that leads to
performance issues
Common Migration Challenges
8. Challenges ahead
• Where does my application reside? What services/infrastructure
does it depend on?
• Will my current monitoring tools work in new environments my
applications/infrastructure are moving to?
• Can I get a true “single pane of glass” of performance levels
from multiple monitoring tools?
• Can I maintain configuration integrity when changes are
constantly made?
• Can I maintain a consistent view of end-user experience as
applications and infrastructure migrate, especially with more
applications being accessed by mobile devices?
• Can I foster more collaboration/cooperation between developers
and operations teams (DevOps)
9. Keys to Successful Migration

10. Migration Considerations
Configuration
• Configuration at the hardware/OS/app layers
• Physical Virtual / 32 Bit 64 Bit
• App/OS Compatibility
• App/OS Dependencies
• Private/Public Cloud dependencies & setup
• Assessments
11. Migration Considerations
Performance
• Performance Baselines of pre-migration environment.
• Total performance visibility into the post migrated
environment
• User Experience tracking
• Identifying Bottlenecks, Peak Usage, Capacity
• Critical when it comes to migration, but often
overlooked
14. Performance Baselines
• How is the user experience in the pre-upgrade
environment?
• What are the current usage patterns in the pre-upgrade
environment?
• What are the consumption patterns in the pre-upgrade
environment?
• What are the baselines for the pre-upgrade environment
for user/app/OS/infrastructure performance?
• Ability to track all of the above in the post-upgrade
environment and compare
• Key to success is to get equal or better user experience
without compromising other KPIs
