    AppMapper Xpert is a break-through solution that automatically produces run-time application dependency maps, discovering the application and infrastructure components that enable a production application. AppMapper Xpert:
    • Derives the application map based on the behavior of real users, transactions, and application components as observed in the run-time environment
    • Is uniquely suited to dynamic operating environments, such as SOA, virtualization, back-up configuration, and cloud
    • Supports virtually any application type, including custom and popular third-party software

    Benefits

    • Gain visibility into application dependencies in dynamic environments, including virtualization, SOA, and cloud computing
    • Accelerate application troubleshooting by pinpointing components that are associated with a specific application
    • Quickly assess the service impact of infrastructure events or outages
    • Improve change management and reduce risk by identifying  applications that depend on a particular server or network device
    • Determine application dependencies to reduce risk associated with cloud migration, server virtualization, and data center consolidation
    • Provide detailed, accurate information to business unit stakeholders about the complete application environment, including enabling components of the underlying infrastructure

    Key AppMapper Xpert Features

    • Automatically discover relationships among application and infrastructure components for complex, multi-tier applications
    • Leverage existing performance management instrumentation
    • Produce “run-time” application maps that accurately reflect dependencies at the time of execution
    • Create a detailed map of an application’s dependencies, starting with a single application identifier (e.g., server name, URL, method name, process, database query, etc.)
    • Combine network-level information with application details regarding processes, classes, components, and databases
    • Visualize dependencies through simple application maps
    • Easily add/delete relationships
    • Search for any element throughout the application infrastructure, such as a user, host, URL, method name, SQL query, etc.
    • Authenticate users using LDAP, Active Directory, Radius, and TACACS+
    • Available through Software-as-a-Service or licensed software

    Compare AppMapper Xpert to other solutions

    • AppMapper Xpert provides a run-time model of application dependencies uniquely suited for operational workflows, unlike CMDB-based solutions that focus on static IT dependency models
    • AppMapper Xpert automatically determines the dependency map for all kinds of applications, including “home grown” ones. Other solutions commonly rely on pre-determined architecture models for popular third-party applications, or manual input to define dependencies
    • AppMapper Xpert is uniquely suited to dynamic operating environments, such as virtualized servers and SOA applications, because it produces an accurate run-time model of the application at the time of execution. Static models cannot achieve the same level of accuracy
    • The SaaS delivery model minimizes up-front costs and accelerates benefits
