Toward more proactive performance monitoring

New holistic application performance management products offer companies the chance for more proactive performance monitoring. Application performance is critical to the bottom line. Application performance management vendors, like Hewlett-Packard, Digital Fuel Technologies, Integrien, Oblicore and OpTier offer predictive application performance with faster and more reliable monitoring. This new generation of APM products discover and map relationships between applications and underlying infrastructure automatically. APM products that understand the multiple components in your environment and automatically correlate and integrate with them have an immediate value.

They must diagnose the underlying problem and suggest or take corrective action before the problem reaches the user community. Anything short of this means wasted time and money.
