Product Overview

Silk Performance Manager is a Web-based enterprise-monitoring product that allows you to manage the performance and reliability of your applications. It is based on the latest Silk Performer technology.

Silk Performance Manager

Monitors deliver "health" information for applications and can be configured to send alarms when health rates fall below specified levels. The root causes of performance, accuracy and availability issues can be identified using Performance Manager's user friendly drilldown interface.

Performance Manager helps users implement complex performance and functional transaction monitoring. It offers support for client-side business transaction monitoring of enterprise applications that are based on a wide range of technologies, including Web/HTML, client/server databases, J2EE, .NET, Web services, and ERP/CRM. It lets users define and schedule monitors distributed around the globe to measure site health based on server metrics and end-user experience metrics such as availability, accuracy and performance. Monitoring can be maintained on an ongoing basis across all tiers of an application, with data reported back in a single, intuitive interface.

Real-time reporting of collected data helps users identify performance and functional issues within production environments and is vital for trend analysis and capacity planning. Performance Manager's configurable alarm notification system enables immediate alerting of operations personnel when application performance falls below defined threshold levels. Powerful notification features such as email, pager notification, SNMP traps, and SMS messages can also be configured.

Application Performance Management

Revenue loss, diminished productivity and damage to reputation are only some of the problems that can arise from system outages and poor e-business application response time. With Silk Performance Manager, enterprises can move toward a holistic approach to quality assurance. By extending quality assurance beyond development and into production, companies can confront challenges in a meaningful way. Functional, scalability, and performance testing-test types that are required during development to achieve software readiness-can be sustained after deployment through effective application performance management.

Application performance management extends quality assurance into production, thereby reducing costly downtime.

Licensing

Performance Manager is licensed by execution server. A license must be purchased for each execution server concurrently in use.
