COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Instana, the leader in APM solutions for containers and
microservices, today at Dockercon Europe showcased the company's
next-generation Application Performance Management (APM) solution
that automatically monitors and manages today's dynamic
microservice applications running in containers.
Designed from its inception to address the needs of monitoring
today's modern dynamic application environments, Instana is the
first APM provider to apply both automation and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) across the DevOps lifecycle and fully automate
all aspects of APM. Instana's solution provides real-time
visibility into the broad range of technologies that make up
today's microservices applications, including code-level visibility
for nine different programming languages. The result is the
most comprehensive understanding of the application technology
stack for the least amount of effort so that DevOps can handle
dynamic environments.
Automation + AI = The Next Generation in APM
Today's digitally-transformed organizations have embraced Agile and
DevOps, and are quickly creating new business applications using
containers and microservice architectures. This adds tremendous
complexity and dynamism to application and IT environments and
demands an intelligent, next-generation APM solution to maintain
the service quality these business critical apps require.
"As the only APM provider to embrace AI and automation for
monitoring containerized and microservice applications, Instana
uniquely addresses the next-generation monitoring and management
needs of dynamic applications, regardless of size or complexity,"
said Mirko Novakovic, Instana
founder and CEO. "Instana can pinpoint the difference between
'noisy' IT events and those that have the potential to negatively
impact service quality - and Instana goes beyond that by providing
precise, AI-Powered root cause analysis."
New Tools Needed
As DevOps teams collaborate to build and deploy complex, large,
dynamic microservice applications, they need up-to-date visibility,
a precise picture of the application's structure and an immediate
understanding of its health. Instana's AI powered, real-time
application performance monitoring and management solution
addresses those needs providing:
- Automatic, Continuous Discovery & Mapping:
Zero configuration, continuous and automatic discovery of
components, architecture and dependencies of the application's full
technical stack as well as the request patterns, or map, of the
distributed services.
- Precise, High Fidelity Visibility: Accurate data
collection with metric data streaming at one-second granularity,
and capturing every request through the application in a Trace
which is then used as the source for AI training and as the basis
for providing deep visibility into microservices applications.
- Full Stack Application Data Model: An
automatically populated model of the discovered application's
physical and logical dependencies empowering Instana to leverage
the powerful capabilities of AI as the industry's best
troubleshooting, prediction and problem resolution solution.
- Cloud, Container & Microservice Native:
Instana was designed in the cloud era, for the cloud era and, as
such, requires no configuration to align with the infrastructure,
clouds, containers, orchestrators, middleware and languages to keep
pace with today's dynamic microservice applications.
- Real-time AI-Driven Incident Prediction &
Analysis: Leveraging real-time AI to detect and predict
anomalies and identify constraints, Instana reduces the number of
alerts to only the critical ones identifying incidents before they
occur, thereby giving Ops teams a head start on solving
problems.
- AI-Powered Problem Resolution and Troubleshooting
Assistance: The complexity of modern applications has made
them far too complex to be effectively managed by humans. As a
result, being able to leverage the power of AI to understand and
predict the behavior and performance of modern applications and
their microservices has become critical. By leveraging AI as part
of the incident management process, it is now possible to identify
root causes and address problems before they occur.
"Containers and immutable infrastructure make it extremely
difficult for DevOps to determine the root cause of problem in
dynamic microservice applications since the topology is always
changing," said Stephen Hendrick,
research director for application development and management at
Enterprise Management Associates. "Instana's real-time mapping of
application components and dependencies goes a long way to provide
the visibility needed to evaluate and analyze today's ever-changing
apps."
Immediate Customer and Partner Progress
Instana was founded by a team with decades of experience in the APM
market that collectively shared a vision of what would be needed to
manage the performance of today's dynamic applications.
Today, the accuracy of that vision is being realized through
successful engagements with enterprise customers and through the
creation of strategic partnerships with technology
juggernauts. Since the introduction of their APM solution for
Dynamic applications, the company has amassed significant traction
with nearly 100 forward-thinking customers such as Edmunds.com,
Sixt, iOFFICE and Audi.
"Using containers and microservices to build our applications
allowed our organization to shift into another gear in development
and deployment speed," said Stephen Felisan, CIO, at Edmunds.com.
"The Instana application monitoring tool could keep up with our new
pace of application development and deliver the visibility our
DevOps team needed into our application performance."
Instana has also established partnerships with leading
technology and cloud providers, including Container Orchestration
companies such as Docker, IBM BlueMix Container Service, Red Hat
OpenShift and Mesosphere, and with Cloud Service Providers such as
Amazon Web Services (AWS).
