BMC has acquired end-user experience and web application performance monitoring firm Coradiant, the company has announced.
Financial details were not disclosed.
BMC reckons the deal will help it provide customers with a, "360-degree view of service performance – from end-user experience and behaviour to infrastructure," the firm said in a statement.
BMC’s new End User Experience Management platform has pushed the company toward behaviour monitoring, specifically how it is affected by application performance. It provides visibility into real-time, end-to-end performance of enterprise, cloud and SaaS-based applications, the firm said. Coradiant’s technology fits right alongside this, BMC claims.
"The addition of Coradiant’s Web Application Performance Management capabilities to BMC’s Business Service Management platform establishes the industry’s most comprehensive solution for anticipating and proactively addressing the end-user experience requirements of our customers’ businesses," said Paul Avenant, senior vice president, ESM solutions and brand management.
"Until now, IT operations teams have struggled to deliver a consistently stellar end-user experience and proactively identify problems with applications before they negatively impact the business," Avenant added.
Coradiant’s technology will particularly help when it comes to monitoring cloud or SaaS applications. The highly-distributed nature of these applications makes monitoring particularly difficult, BMC claims, meaning companies are not in the dark over the impact applications are having on their business.
Coradiant’s rivals in the application performance monitoring space include Compuware, Blue Coat, Precise and Keynote.
