AppDynamics gives a facelift to applications running on AWS

BENGALURU: Application intelligence company AppDynamics has announced that its Application Intelligence Platform now supports customer applications running an expanded suite of services from Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AppDynamics offers the same performance monitoring, management, automated processes, and analytics for applications running on AWS that are available for applications running on-premises. With the AppDynamics Summer ’15 Release, applications deployed on AWS are now easily instrumented to provide complete visibility and control into an expanded set of AWS services, including Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon DynamoDB, a release said.

These new capabilities augment AppDynamics’ pre-existing support for visibility and control for AWS compute and database services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS).

Through a new 60-day trial license offer (and acceptance of license terms from AppDynamics), AWS Professional Services customers can utilize AppDynamics software to gain critical insight into key application data, which helps ensure successful application migration onto AWS. Customers using AppDynamics software are able to automatically map their application topology in real-time with out-of-the-box capabilities, and gain critical application insights to help ensure a smooth and successful AWS Cloud migration.

“When we first saw the graph of the architectural components of the application that came up automatically with AppDynamics, we had a much clearer understanding of how to maximize the application design as we moved to run on the AWS Cloud,” said Roy Early, Production Support Manager at Allconnect.

Heather Abbott, Senior Vice-President of Corporate Solutions Technology at Nasdaq, said, “The ability to trace a transaction visually and intuitively through the interface was a major benefit AppDynamics delivered. This visibility was especially valuable when Nasdaq was migrating a platform from its internal infrastructure to the AWS Cloud. We used AppDynamics extensively to understand how our system was functioning on AWS, a completely new platform for us.”
