Cisco launches AppDynamics Cloud, enabling the delivery of better digital experiences by correlating telemetry data from across any cloud environment at scale.
Today, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announced the launch of AppDynamics Cloud at Cisco Live, the premiere networking and security event.
AppDynamics Cloud ingests telemetry data generated across the entire IT stack to deliver actionable insights into application performance and security. It offers flexibility, choice, and agility of using any service to develop and deploy applications and enhance the digital experience.
Liz Centoni, EVP, Chief Strategy Officer, GM of Applications says “AppDynamics Cloud delivers power and usability in a single, intuitive interface. It puts the focus where it needs to be—on 360-degree visibility and insights, and the ability to take action that leads to extraordinary application experiences every time,”
AppDynamics Cloud optimises cloud-native apps to maximise business results and customer experience. Intelligent operations accelerate the detection and resolution performance issues before they affect the business or brand. Continuous data integrations using OpenTelemetry ™, standards, and technology partnerships with cloud providers provide investment protection.
The platform enables collaboration across teams including DevOps, site reliability engineers (SREs), and other key business stakeholders to achieve common benchmarks like service-level objectives (SLOs) and organizational KPIs.
Many organisations still use traditional apps to manage their revenue-generating and mission-critical systems. However, modern business apps are built with DevOps initiatives.
This rapid, pandemic-accelerated trend is causing a revolution in end-to-end experiences among end users and consumers. Hybrid work is also contributing to this exponential growth.
AppDynamics Cloud seamlessly ingests the deluge of metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT) generated in this environment—including network, databases, storage, containers, security, and cloud services—to make sense of the current state of the entire IT stack all the way to the end user. Actions can then be taken to optimise costs, maximize transaction revenue, and secure user and organisational data.
“Built from the ground up with cloud-native observability, AppDynamics Cloud is about real outcomes, so you can fix issues when they arise—or even before they happen—and ensure digital services offer exactly what users want,” said Centoni.
Current AppDynamics customers can upgrade to AppDynamics Cloud and leverage their existing application performance monitoring (APM) agents, or feed both solutions concurrently. AppDynamics Cloud supports cloud-native, managed Kubernetes environments on Amazon Web Services (AWS), with future expansion to Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and other cloud providers.
Tim Masey, Carhartt’s Vice President, IT Infrastructure & Security, said “The apparel industry is more complex, dynamic, and competitive than ever. Every aspect of your operation—from procurement through sales and customer service—has to be firing on all cylinders because even the slightest delay or hiccup can have wide-ranging impact on everything from manufacturing operations to customers’ ability to buy products online,”
“It’s imperative to have complete visibility into every corner of the operation to make sure things are running smoothly, which is usually easier said than done.” he said
Vincent Lamonde, Director of Cloud Operations, Insurity said, “We’re a leader in the insurance technology market, with more than 80% of our customers operating within the cloud. Our clients might have hundreds of customers they’re supporting who expect our system to work flawlessly all the time.”
“If it takes significant time to identify and resolve an issue, it could impact their business and the customer experience. We are bound to maintain service level agreements (SLAs), so finding new ways to identify and resolve in less time can make a world of difference.” he said
Peter Hvedstrup Jensen, Head of IT Operations, Velliv, said, “As a pension provider, it’s imperative that every system, component and application work flawlessly. Our customers shouldn’t have to wait to find the information they need or repeatedly visit an application that’s unexpectedly not available,”
“A cloud-only architecture can be very complex and intricate. We needed greater visibility and control over every aspect of the environment because even an hour of downtime will negatively impact our customers.” he said
