Quest Software, Inc. (now part of Dell) announced the general availability of Foglight for Windows Azure Applications.
Foglight for Windows Azure Applications - available immediately via the new Foglight On-Demand platform - is a quick-to-deploy diagnostic and monitoring solution that helps assure the performance and availability of applications built on the Windows Azure platform.
In addition, the solution provides real-time data on the health of the application, together with actual end-user experience measurements.
Foglight for Windows Azure Applications provides developers and DevOps specialists with these benefits:
- Quality of Service insight enables a deeper understanding of the application’s performance quality, especially when it is performing less optimally than intended.
- Synthetic availability testing ensures 24/7 application availability by combining actual website page load times with internal Azure application performance assurance data to ensure a complete view of all aspects of the application service delivery. With this information, developers can quickly identify and resolve performance issues no matter where they originate.
- Real user monitoring enables developers and DevOps specialists to determine how many visitors the application is supporting, where users are coming from, and what browsers/devices they are using, so they can tailor and improve appeal accordingly.
- Transaction analysis provides the capability to track which transactions take longest, which are the most common, which consume the most time overall, and which have the greatest negative impact on a user’s experience. This enables developers to pinpoint where to focus efforts to improve the user experience.
- Application and infrastructure health enables developers to identify problems with the Azure infrastructure or the application, and receive warnings if there are issues that have the potential to affect end users. In addition, developers also can receive alerts on issues that already are impacting end users.
