With Compuware Vantage and Gomez incorporated into our APM suite we can provide a more complete view of application performance that exceeds customer expectations."
C&W Worldwide's APM ensures optimum performance from business-critical applications across its next-generation network. APM uses a central software management suite to ensure business-critical applications perform well, consistently, and deliver better value from the network by optimizing bandwidth use. It monitors network traffic and application performance in real-time, automatically distributing and managing network allocation to ensure traffic is prioritized according to what applications an organization has decided are most business-critical. APM can also accelerate selected applications across the Wide Area Network, improving the performance of all types of applications -- from file sharing and databases to software distribution.
"Compuware and Cable&Wireless Worldwide can help customers reduce IT costs and increase organizational agility," said Kimberly King, vice president of channels and alliances at Compuware.
Added Clive Foreman, vice president of the network management technology group at Cisco: "Cisco is excited to see application performance vendors like Compuware take advantage of the rich data provided by Cisco Network Analysis Module to offer greater application and network visibility and new value added services. With offerings such as this solution, customers can more quickly deploy new business applications and services while ensuring that performance and availability are met."
