    Topic:   Navigating the APM Ecosystem

Application performance monitoring is top of mind and a critical
initiative across enterprises as they strive to meet high expectations
and customer demands. True application performance monitoring
cross-cuts many IT tiers: network infrastructure, physical and virtual
infrastructure, data bases, mobile devices, desktops, etc. The many IT
tiers mean there are different buyers each with unique requirements.
This session will discuss the different application performance
monitoring solutions for different personas and introduce a framework
to help you navigate around the different types of solutions. We will
share LiveAction’s perspective of application performance challenges
and help you prepare for the transition to the ‘cloud/mobile’ world.
