SOLUTIONS >> CLOUD COMPUTING
Zeus Kerravala, senior VP of enterprise research, The Yankee Group, states the drivers for cloud computing are straightforward—a significant reduction in CAPEX while creating avenues for IT to be more operationally efficient. However, he also points out what is often missing from discussions is the fact that these models can dramatically disrupt traditional IT management software frameworks. Moreover, they can present a risk to application performance and availability even though in concept they should provide improvements in these areas.
The Xangati solution allows IT organizations to manage applications in a cloud computing environment. By taking a unique “end-user in” approach, the Xangati solution tracks the application experience of every end user on your network and in the cloud. Additionally, the solution gives you live, to-the-second visibility of any app, server, end-user device and all of the resources it currently utilizes. The result is an ability to greatly improve end-user satisfaction with their app performance.
