Compuware Presents Live Webcast: “Why Server Virtualization Demands an End-User’s Perspective"

Feb. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- DETROIT--February 22, 2012--Compuware Corporation , the technology performance company, today announced a live webcast featuring Forrester Research, Inc. that will highlight how application performance management (APM) tools can help ensure successful server virtualization projects and the important role end-user experience (EUE) plays.

Title:   “Why Server Virtualization Demands an End-User’s Perspective”

When:       Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Time:      1 p.m. Eastern time

Presenters:    Andre Kindness, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research; Kieran Taylor, Director of Product Marketing, Compuware APM

Why:       Enterprises regularly refresh server platforms to harness improvements in compute capacity, power consumption and maintenance costs. In 2012, servers are more likely to be virtualized than physical, presenting new challenges in a technology refresh project. Monitoring at a component-level won't improve performance but subjective monitoring of the EUE does.

      Today’s APM tools employ EUE monitoring, so pre-project baselines and post-virtualization service level agreements are based on what matters: the subjective quality of user experience. The benefit is that APM isolates the root cause of application performance problems in both physical and virtualized IT environments, more quickly than component monitoring tools. This shields server virtualization projects from costly extensions and infrastructure overlaps by accelerating problem identification and resolution.

What:       During this free webcast, attendees will learn:

• Forrester’s definition of the user experience network (UxN);
• why dynamic virtualized environments demand end user monitoring;
• four new principles for infrastructure and operations managers to enhance UxN; and
• how APM ensures successful virtualization projects.
