AppSpeed Server
AppSpeed collects and stores application, latency, and usage data in one
location, enabling users to monitor application and transaction performance as
well as root cause performance issues.

BENEFITS
VMware vCenter™ AppSpeed, part of of the
VMware vCenter family of management products,
enables VMware vSphere™ 4 administrators to

VMware vCenter family of management products,
enables VMware vSphere™ 4 administrators to
ensure performance levels for virtualized multitier
applications. AppSpeed offers powerful capabilities
to discover and map all tiers of the infrastructure,
identify application performance bottlenecks and
enable root cause analysis. AppSpeed can also be
used to model how applications would perform in
virtualized environments, removing uncertainty
about virtualizing business-critical applications.

• Reduces barriers to virtualizing business-critical
applications, enabling greater CapEx savings.
VMware vCenter AppSpeed
Ensure Quality of Service for Multitier Applications
How is VMware vCenter AppSpeed Used in
the Enterprise?
VMware vCenter AppSpeed enables VMware vSphere
administrators to gain deep insight into the performance of their
virtualized multi-tier applications and ensure SLAs. VMware
vSphere administrators traditionally lack the ability to determine
the performance of applications running in VMware
environments. They are often the first to be blamed for
performance issues unless they are able to show that the issues
are not caused by the virtualization platform. AppSpeed is
designed to measure the latency experienced by application end
users and correlate it to the different tiers of the underlying
physical and virtual infrastructure. This ensures SLAs for quality
of service are met, and reduces perceived risks of migrating
enterprise applications to a virtual environment.

• Assured Migration.
AppSpeed can be used to measure performance of an
application, both prior to and after migration to a
virtualized environment, to demonstrate to application
owners that virtualization does not have a negative impact
on application performance.
application, both prior to and after migration to a
virtualized environment, to demonstrate to application
owners that virtualization does not have a negative impact
on application performance.
• SLA Monitoring.
AppSpeed enables auto-mapping of an environment to provide
administrators greater visibility into the relationship between
virtual machines and applications. Dependency mapping
groups virtual machines into logical units and provides an
end-to-end view of application performance. Out-of-the-box
views and dashboards identify the worst performing
applications, applications with declining performance, and
applications experiencing high network error rates.

• Root Cause Analysis and Performance Optimization.
AppSpeed delivers a comprehensive set of tools for triaging
and troubleshooting performance issues. Administrators can
view latency from the broadest application level down to
the finest level of detail (transaction or database query),
while breaking that latency into contributing components
(infrastructure, network and application). AppSpeed collects
time series data to enable trend identification and help with
root cause analysis. It automatically calculates baselines and
helps users create performance thresholds.
