Why a discussion around Application Performance Analytics? There’s a lot of buzz in this industry around the topic of performance analytics – an informal subset of IT operations analytics (ITOA) – as a solution to the growing mountains of monitoring data and the increasing complexity of application and network architectures.
At the same time, there exist many purpose-built performance analysis solutions. Many are domain-centric – server monitoring and network monitoring, for example – while some exhibit a key ITOA characteristic by incorporating and correlating data from multiple sources. Most perform some level of analysis to expose predefined insights.
