ExtraHop Networks, a provider of network-based application performance management (APM) offerings, has unveiled Application Delivery Assurance 3.5 system, featuring Application Inspection Triggers technology.

The new offering provides customisation for real-time network and application management, empowering IT personnel to customise performance monitoring of business-critical applications, said the company.

The Application Inspection Triggers technology provides an array of services which allow customers to leverage on technology for transaction exclusion by suppressing the analysis of certain transactions according to specific criteria, said the company.

It added, for deterministic multi-tier correlation, IT teams can trace transaction linkages across tiers using embedded tags or session IDs; they also can achieve HTTP experience monitoring, measuring the time from first to last request in a session.

The Application Delivery Assurance system is a real-time, passive network appliance that monitors and analyses business-critical transaction from L2 to L7 across network, Web, database, and storage tiers, spanning physical and virtual environments.

The scalable system combines the troubleshooting capabilities of Network Performance Managers with the application-level visibility of User Experience Monitors to perform sophisticated network-traffic analysis, said the company.

Further, the system performs full-stream reassembly and full-content analysis to extract and archive valuable performance and health metrics in a real-time datastore.

ExtraHop Networks CEO and co-founder Jesse Rothstein said with Application Inspection Triggers, IT personnel gain the flexibility to select the performance metrics that are relevant to their unique applications and environment.

"Many of our customers claim that their monitoring infrastructure is more complicated than the applications they are monitoring. As IT transitions from static to dynamic, it’s critical that IT Operations teams have visibility into these hostile environments," Rothstein said.
