Cloud computing is empowering businesses to deploy applications more quickly and at greater scale than ever before. With the infrastructure layer ready, business owners now manage the build and release of applications more directly and therefore have more accountability for the performance of these applications. To be successful, application owners need a new approach to application management that is simple to use, cloud-ready and provides the visibility and control to meet demanding performance goals.

VMware vFabric Application Performance Manager provides application owners with the real-time visibility and control they need to manage their SLAs in the cloud. Driven by VMware vFabric AppInsight, these users now have a next-generation application operations dashboard that automatically models transactions across all application tiers, providing a critical real-time perspective on the true performance of dynamically scaling applications. When performance problems do occur, powerful visualizations and drill-down details, such as correlated metrics on resource performance from VMware vFabric Hyperic and byte code instrumentation make it easy to identify root cause and take actions at the code level to fix problems quickly—all within a single management console.
