      Visual Performance Manager

      A unified system providing end-to-end performance visibility into applications
      being delivered across cloud, carrier and
      enterprise networks

    Visual Performance Manager™

    Visual Performance Manager is a unified system that provides enterprise service intelligence to help organizations effectively deliver business services. Visual Performance Manager spans the entire delivery infrastructure for complex multi-tiered networked application architectures throughout distributed enterprise including virtualized and cloud environments.

    This end-to-end business service visibility is correlated and analyzed within our Performance Management Database providing an important data source and common platform that can be leveraged by disparate IT organizations to provide a unified view of problem domain isolation. Visual Performance Manager was designed with a flexible architecture that allows it to be used as a “self -managed” solution by private enterprises as well as a “hosted-offering” through our Managed Service Providers.

    With integrated views and unique data correlation, Visual Performance Manager enables effective management of your applications delivered across the enterprise.
