we get it ... !
Our Approach
Application Performance
Management
Monitoring & Reporting
- keeping things running smoothly
- ahead of curve
- how will UC effect you?
=> problem solving!
Problem Solving
- RNA is your ”partner”
(Mean Time To Resolution)
- less downtime equates $$ bottom line
- 69,000 r$/p/m when no app delivery
- through faster resolution
Breaking it Down
Growth
/ Business continuity
Different people
Different needs
Meet tomorrows needs / resolve now

Link Analyst





Dynamic reports
Event Notification / Alerts
Active Discovery
Device route monitoring
Device mapping
The Problem
 Multi-tier application
that is used for order
processing is
experiencing issues
 Users report
intermittent
problems. There
does not appear to
be a pattern specific
to workstation or
user.
Notification
Alarm Report
Event recorded, displayed
in Alarms Report
Restart Service and Notify
Web service
automatically
restarted
 E-mail sent to Roger, the data center manager,
describing failure
 Roger views historical usage reports, server event logs
Investigate and Resolve
Web3 was servicing
more simultaneous users
than it could handle
Problem Solved
Summarize
Just a re-cap ........
Enterprise-Wide Application Reporting
Quickly identify poor
application performance
Drill Down to Servers Having Issues
Identify poor
performance by server
Web3 is clearly
having trouble
View Individual Connection Statistics
Identify performance
impact at the user level
Go Back in Time and View Activity
Isolate the
time period
Identify the
activity of interest
Locate User/Web Site of Interest
Select the stream
to reconstruct
Reconstruct Web Page
Web page is reconstructed as
it appeared when captured
Bringing it all together
