Instana, a leading
provider of automated Application Performance Management (APM) solutions for
cloud-based microservice applications, today announced the availability of the
Instana Automated Microservice Management Tile for Pivotal Cloud Foundry. With
a single click, PCF users can get application performance management along with
the PCF-based infrastructure management of their multi-cloud systems. The new
management tile is available today in the Pivotal Cloud Network.
“Multi-cloud environments are vital to high performance cloud-native
applications, and we see Pivotal as a major player in successful multi-cloud
operations,” said Mirko Novakovic, Instana co-founder and CEO. “With Instana’s
automated Application Performance Management solution, Pivotal Cloud Foundry
users get a consistent visualization of application performance and service
architecture across any and all of their cloud providers.”
The Instana Automatic Microservice Monitoring Tile, now available in the
Pivotal Cloud Foundry Network, automates service discovery, performance
management, application mapping and root cause analysis. The APM solution
adjusts to dynamic application changes in real-time, so that DevOps teams
always have an accurate visualization of what makes up their cloud
applications.
While PCF automates cloud infrastructure management and standardizes
application deployment and operation models, it does not include application
performance management capabilities. The new Instana PCF tile gives Pivotal Cloud
Foundry users a quick and easy way to get access to performance management,
which is not part of the PCF capability set.
“Organizations that are rapidly moving to cloud and multi-cloud environments
must adopt new approaches to a number of activities ranging from workload
distribution to cost optimization,” said Nancy Gohring, senior analyst,
application and infrastructure performance at 451 Research. “Performance
management is also a key function that requires new techniques in the cloud,
and implementing it effectively is critical to the success of cloud
deployments.”
Instana automates the discovery of services, automatically understands their
quality and immediately presents information on quality and performance to
DevOps. Unlike conventional monitoring solutions, Instana’s automated APM
solution operates without requiring ongoing engineering effort, human
configuration, or even application restarts. Developers are able to determine
build quality with one click. Likewise, traditional Ops personnel can quickly
understand the root cause of production performance issues.
