ExtraHop Networks, a provider of network-based application performance management (APM (News – Alert)) solutions, has released the latest version ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance system 3.7 to the market.
This latest version includes web payload analysis that analyzes structured transactional data passed over HTTP, including REST, JSON, AJAX, JavaScript, SOAP/XML, and HTML5. With advanced payload analysis, IT teams in a range of industries use the ExtraHop system to analyze real-time performance metrics for internal and external Web services and API calls.
The advanced payload analysis also enables IT teams to monitor end-user experience metrics related to Web form submissions and webpage user names.
“Without the ability to monitor APIs, companies could be missing millions of dollars of potential revenue and not even realize it,” said Jesse Rothstein (News – Alert), CEO at ExtraHop Networks. “Ensuring high availability and low latency for APIs has historically proven difficult with legacy approaches. With version 3.7, we are providing a cost-effective way for companies to monitor each API call and correlate it with each tier of the application delivery chain.”
In addition, the new version 3.7 of the ExtraHop system comes with dynamic geomaps, flex grids and summary-level dashboards. These features works at their best when combined and these enhancements provide the industry’s best contextual visualization for APM.
With ExtraHop geomaps, for example, customers can dynamically visualize customized IP-associated performance metrics, along with tailored alerts and service levels, on an interactive map.
“Our team defined custom metrics for our most critical web transactions with Application Inspection Triggers,” said Jim Hutchins, CIO at T2 Systems, who has used version 3.7 of the ExtraHop system to create a dashboard for critical Web transactions.
Hutchins said they also created a dashboard with version 3.7 to continuously monitor their transactions, which represent major business process activity, and now they can fix issues before customers notice, more easily communicate with business stakeholders, and understand how changes in their code or environment impact performance.
ExtraHop is demonstrating the new version 3.7 of its Application Delivery Assurance system at VMworld 2012.
