CA Application Performance Management Case Study

Florida Department Of Transportation Gains Visibility with CA APM Docker Monitoring

Introduction

This case study of Florida Department of Transportation is based on a January 2017 survey of CA Application Performance Management customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled organization to evaluate and ultimately select CA APM:

Biggest challenges when monitoring new applications:
- Scaling their monitoring with growth
- Improving their monitoring strategy
- Alert correlation or noise reduction
- The growing complexities of application infrastructure
- Maintaining SLAs or other performance KPIs

Use Case

Plan for deploying applications in the next 12 months:
- Hybrid cloud (on-prem + cloud)
Plans to support the following technologies in the next 12 months:
- Programming languages (e.g. PhP, Ruby, Google Go)
Using the following tools to automate development, deployment, or management processes:
- A homegrown solution

Results

Results of using CA APM to monitor container and cloud applications:
- Gained 360-degree visibility into their apps, server infrastructure, and containers (all in one place)
- Increased speed and simplified the triage of their application performance issues for every app in any environment
- Improved the ability to pinpoint what was happening and where even if part of their application is in the cloud and other parts are on premise
- Increased their ability to detect problems throughout their entire stack, from infrastructure to user experience
- Increased their speed to roll out new services faster to support the business
Rates CA APM’s ability to monitor cloud-native and containerized applications in the following environments when compared to the competition:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): superior to
- Docker: superior to
- Cloud Foundry: superior to
- Hybrid Cloud: superior to
- Jenkins support: superior to
CA APM helped improve the following in a hybrid cloud environment:
- speed triage of deployment: improved
- visibility: improved
- their ability to reduce complexity: improved
- their ability to focus on important app issues: improved
Agreed with the following:
- CA APM’s Docker monitoring allows them to easily see which container is running which app to improve troubleshooting of application performance issues
- As application complexity explodes, they can understand how their applications are functioning on cloud platforms such as AWS.
