With today’s shortened development cycles, many new applications are passed to operations groups with little validation as to their impact on the enterprise. All too often, distributed applications that “worked well in the lab” fail to work in a complex WAN environment. As hundreds of end users begin using the new application, they don’t get the performance they expect. In the meantime, other applications are severely impacted by the overhead of the new application. This can cause a complete breakdown on the infrastructure, resulting in lost revenue. In addition, resources often become over-taxed and it’s difficult to bring the environment back to normal.
ApplicationVantage provides an easy-to-use certification process for the rollout of new or modified applications. Users are able to capture specific application transactions for in-depth analysis of behavior across multiple tiers of a network in controlled environments. Individual mission-critical transactions can be analyzed and fine-tuned to ensure they are working optimally before the application is put into production.
With the emergence of Service Level Management, application performance has become measurable, and IT managers are now fiscally responsible for guaranteeing that applications and networks provide optimal performance. In addition, the IT department is often tasked with setting up SLAs, but has little data on which to establish realistic and attainable performance goals for business-critical transactions.
The ApplicationVantage Response Time Predictor (RTP) helps you establish realistic and attainable end-user response times and service-level goals, as well as make cost-effective decisions concerning WAN provisioning. And, by using the Sweep feature, you can determine at what point adding bandwidth will not improve performance.

Response Time Predictor Sweep The Response Time Sweep allows the user to understand how the network will affect response times, so you don't waste money on unnecessary bandwidth. |
ApplicationVantage tells you how the production network will affect your new application. But what will happen to the performance of your network when the application is deployed to possibly hundreds of end users at a remote office?
The optional WAN Deployment Expert (WDE) module focuses on the dominant network budget metric: WAN bandwidth. It allows users to determine what impact hundreds of users will have on their infrastructure before rolling out a new application. With WDE, users can use the previously captured tasks in ApplicationVantage to quickly build typical workload scenarios of users at remote branch offices. From there, they can help ensure that the new application will be productive the first time it’s rolled out.

|
WDE - Response Times With the WAN Deployment Expert, you can immediately determine if your new application will run on an existing WAN link or if you need more and how much. |
