Three Myths About Big Data and APM
In my last blog, I focused on how a big data approach can be applied to application performance monitoring (APM) to accelerate mean time to repair. Unlike data sampling or use of triggers, a big data approach to APM ensures that all the data is
5 Most Common Application Performance Issues
Some things never change: application performance issues Flashback to twelve years ago when I was working at Mercury Interactive on their managed service for application performance management (APM). That year, Italy won the World Cup (again)
Five Tips for Supercharging Your DevOps Practice with APM
In today’s digital landscape, application performance matters more than ever before. This is perhaps best underscored by a recent Riverbed survey that revealed 99% of decision-makers believe that optimizing digital performance (i.e., the
Answering the “What and Why” of Performance Bottlenecks
I’ve seen it time and time again. SteelCentral APM users are finding and fixing application performance issues faster than ever thanks to Performance Graph and TruePlot. I’ve been a fan of these analytics features since their
AI & Data Analytics help Extracting Business and App Intelligence

How Hyperscale Architecture Can Achieve Big Data Scalability
Billions of transactions a day. Thousands of distributed traces. Dynamic workloads. The reality of monitoring modern hyperscale cloud-native applications is a big data reality where the application environment changes rapidly with short time
DDoS: It’s Not a Matter of If, But When
A distributed-denial-of-service or DDoS attack is a cyber-attack that renders a machine or network resource that is connected to the Internet temporarily unreachable to its intended users. The attacker’s goal is to disrupt business by consuming
Five Common Misconceptions about DDoS
In my first blog on distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) detection, “DDoS: It’s Not a Matter of If, But When,” I provide a brief understanding why someone might initiate a DDoS attack and outlined the three variations of attacks. In part two of
Five Ways the State of Security Will Evolve in 2019
A few months back, my colleagues made several predictions for technologies in 2019—everything from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to hybrid cloud, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT). Through those discussions, asLoad More
