If you are using a private cloud or extranet to communicate with partners in the delivery of goods or services, you know that monitoring online transactions can be difficult. Poorly performing or unavailable applications impact downstream business processes or even public facing services. Each point to point link of the chain must be monitored, especially when different companies are providing and consuming data. Moreover, the data may be used in downstream applications that conceal the true source of performance problems. The need for monitoring is driven by real time consumption, actions taken on this data, and SLAs.

Keynote Cloud Application Perspective gives you the ability to monitor private clouds like never before. And you can do so without having to involve IT departments within different organizations. Just install it wherever you are consuming information or data. Keynote makes this easy by eliminating the need for instrumentation or installation of an appliance. Instead, Cloud Application Perspective can easily be installed anywhere in your private cloud and act as a monitoring station. All data on response time or availability of your target transaction is provided in a unified Web console or can be exported via our own Web Services.

Keynote also helps you keep tab on hybrid cloud deployements. Organizations will commonly deploy only part of a Web application on a cloud computing provider’s infrastructure. However the presence of regulations, legacy apps, and existing investment in private data centers often means that significant portions of data and functionality are retained in your private cloud.

This presents unique monitoring challenges as traditional APM monitoring solutions often require access to the physical infrastructure, something cloud computing providers don’t typically offer. The solution is Keynote’s Cloud Application Perspective. We measure what matters, the response time and availability of Web traffic over the point to point link between your data center and the public cloud. And because Cloud Application Perspective is a software agent, it is easily deployed on either side of the link.
