News Facts:
- Enterprises recognize that end users
have high expectations from applications. The success or failure of
an application often is determined by the end user’s experience
with that application; however, IT administrators sometimes
struggle to understand the end user experience, particularly within
cloud-based applications.
- Foglight for Windows Azure Applications
enables enterprises to leverage cloud-based performance monitoring
technology for applications built on the Windows Azure platform,
and allows IT administrators to gain critical insight as to how end
users interact with these applications.
- Foglight for Windows Azure Applications
gives application owners and operators confidence that their users
are getting the service expected, and the applications and
infrastructure are performing optimally. Specifically, the product
provides:
- Insight at a glance into the current
and historical availability, as well as the health of the
application and its supporting infrastructure
- The ability to drill down into problems
to understand both their impact and probable cause
- Insight into the quality of service
experienced by the application’s users, combined with an
at-a-glance view of response time, showing normal behavior and
drawing attention to anomalies
- A geographical view of performance and
user location, drawing attention to problems affecting particular
geographies rather than all users
- A true understanding of performance
issues related to browser types, mobile device and other user
agents, identifying compatibility issues and showing how users
access the application
- Alarms that are reserved for truly
important matters. In addition to appearing in the product, these
can be forwarded to email clients so that IT staff are notified
when critical issues arise, enabling them to take action when
needed
