When an Apica LoadTest is performed on a web application, various components are loaded by the web application: the web server, the application server, the database and the network. By performing an Apica ServerMonitor performance analysis, "vital signs" for each module can be correlated with loadtest graphs and the systems bottlenecks thus analyzed.
Since all the data is being stored in a central location, tests can be analysed afterwards, without the need for incomplete performance recordings or exportation of data files.
Apica ServerMonitor essentially is a Software-as-a-Service. There is no need for a heavy server installations; only local performance agents are installed on the servers. Measure data is accessed via Apica’s portal service. The application is designed to work smoothly together with Apica LoadTest.
Using Apica ServerMonitor together with Apica Availability will give you the information necessary to address the actual problems.
You can stop guessing about server performance and thus avoid investing in vain in the wrong areas of your web platform.
