Slowdowns and outages impact customers, revenue, and reputation
Application Performance Management can keep your apps up and protect your
revenue and reputation
E-commerce Websites
One of the largest e-commerce websites in the world experienced twelve
outages in a year, impacting their customers and reputation (link)
Financial and customer-impacting applications
Trading halted for half a day on the biggest US exchange for financial
options following an outage caused by software problems (link)
New technology and mobile applications
Customers poured out their wrath via social media after the largest video
streaming company had an over 20-hour outage on Christmas Eve (link)
Application Performance Management
Applications are critical to today's businesses

Application Performance Management for the Hybrid Cloud
What are the challenges for the Operations Teams?
Why aren’t operations teams preventative today?
●
Too much data to analyse manually
●
Existing analytic techniques, such as standard thresholds, are not up to the task
●
They cannot detect problems while they are emerging (before business impact)
●
Set threshold too high, insufficient warning before total failure.
●
Set threshold too low, too much noise, everything is ignored
●
Not all required system parameters are monitored
If there is no ‘early detection’ before the outage, operations teams can only react while outage is already in effect and already losing money...

Application Performance Management
Sense the Business Activity and Commonly Used Resources
Discipline Outcome (Event Management)
● Sense the User Experience (End-To-End)
● At the earliest stage possible
● With small footprint
● Monitor Related Resources
● OS
● Databases, Middle-ware, …
→ Detect system outages and SOS situations
● Threshold based
● Distinct value correlation

●
Learn Common Behavior
●
Uncover unexpected Relationship
● Detect threads before end users complain
● Earn re-action time to fix problem before users are affected
● Detect long-term threshold violations as well as unexpected behaviour
Monitoring
Log Analysis
● Help analyse given situation
● Search large amount of structured and unstructured data
● Find quick solution with guided help assessments
● Visualize the distribution of events and messages
● Close the gap between silos – consolidate
● Expert advise based on Artificial Intelligence

Anomaly Detection with Predictive Insights

Large retail pharmacy wants on prem for
most of their regular applications but SaaS
only for specific seasonal applications
Challenges
•Flu application is highly seasonal
•Customer runs this application in cloud and wants a service to
manage it
•Customer wants to use on prem event management and
ticketing capabilities
•Customer will use existing on-prem systems of record systems
with local monitoring but wants an integrated view across from
cloud
Benefits
•Leverage existing assets/processes and institutional capabilities
in rolling out APM
•Do not create “islands” of monitoring
•Adopt “best suited” or hybrid management structure

IBM Operations Analytics – Predictive Insights

What it is…
Predict Outages Before They Occur
Predict
Challenge: Reacting to outages is not enough – to ensure your mission critical applications are always available
24X7, you must prevent outages by detecting problems before they become service impacting

•Learns ‘Web Response Time’ has a normal causal relationship with ‘User Requests’ - WRT gets slower as user load gets higher.
•If this healthy historical relationship breaks down, say due to a memory leak, an anomaly is raised immediately
•The problem is detected even while WRT service is “good”
==>> Emerging problems can be detected even while service levels are good in absolute terms

BM Operations Analytics – Predictive Insights
Usage Scenario

Consolidated Communications avoids network
outages and improves customer service
Need
• Monitoring a customer base of 250k access lines, 125k Internet, and 30k
video is a challenge
• Managing manual thresholds within this networking environment is a
nightmare
Benefits
•Using Predictive Insights, behavioral learning techniques generate alerts
automatically when something is not normal
•Enable earlier detection and insight into issues not detected by existing
monitoring systems
•Easily obtain impact analysis into how the network copes with various
failure conditions
“IBM helped detect 100 percent of the major incidents
that occurred, including silent failures, and helped us
eliminate manual thresholds, which will result in a cost
avoidance of $300K USD annually”
- Chris Smith, Director
Tools and Automation
Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc.
