Eliminating Roadblocks To Effectively Managing Application Performance
By Jim Metzler
Published January 2007; Posted August 2007
Abstract:
Over the last couple of years,
assuring acceptable application performance has become a hot topic. As a result,
a growing amount of attention has been paid recently to a wide variety of issues
that affect the ability of the IT organization to manage application
performance. The vast majority of this attention has focused on technologies
that can be used to improve the performance of networks and applications. These
technologies include compression, caching, protocol and application acceleration
as well as server offloading.
Technology is clearly a critical component of a network and application
management solution. However, the effectiveness of any network management
solution has historically been affected significantly by issues that have no
basis in the technology itself.
As will be demonstrated in this article, the primary impediments to effectively
managing application performance have little to do with technology. In
particular, the goal of this article is to examine some of the organizational
dynamics that affect the ability of the IT organization to effectively manage
application performance. We will also make recommendations for how IT
organizations can overcome the roadblocks created by these dynamics.
