dynaTrace APM solution keeps track of SOA transactions

Service-oriented architecture can be a boon for flexibility, but it adds another layer of complexity to information systems. A performance diagnostics software maker is attempting to cut through SOA's complexity with a solution that traces transactions and maps application dependencies to provide visibility into performance issues.
Today, dynaTrace Software delivered dynaTrace 3.0, an application performance solution for SOA that works for both Java and .NET applications.
Version 3.0 traces transactions across geographically distributed systems, monitors large server clusters and virtualized environments, and introduces frameworks for integrations and extensibility. The software also integrates with build systems and requires fewer people to operate, according to the company.
dynaTrace has extended its PurePath diagnosis technology to wide-area networks. All information that passes from diagnostic agents, which reside on target systems, to diagnostic servers is compressed and encrypted, said Klaus Fellner, senior director of product marketing. PurePath does not require proxies to trace transactions, he added.
"One thing that my clients are talking about is the capability to track or trace transactions through complex systems," said Jean-Pierre Garbani, a vice president at Forrester Research. "That capability distinguishes dynaTrace from its main competitors."
dynaTrace also provides application dependency mapping and UML modeling. Through UML, dynaTrace can help testing engineers understand how a service's behavior in production compares to its behavior in testing, Fellner said.
"People want to manage end-to-end, but [they] don't always know the dependencies of applications on infrastructure at that level of detail," said Garbani.
In addition, PurePath's agents and collectors now support large server clusters and virtualized environments, the company says. dynaTrace automatically adapts to cluster resizing and changes in virtual instances.
Aside from Java and .NET, PurePath accepts open-source monitors developed for application servers and custom applications, said Eric Senunas, senior director of marketing and business development for dynaTrace. Monitoring reports will include data from custom monitors.
Role-based dashboards correlate transactions for operations management professionals, managers, and software architects. The dashboards that come out of the box are templates and are customizable, Senunas noted.
