Application Performance Factory:

True Adaptive Performance Management

APF is the first solution to deliver Adaptive Performance Management across the last mile:  from the end-user perspective.

 

 

CAIL's product delivers real-time and historical reporting on the availability, compliance and performance of IT assets that support real Business transactions.  Leveraging unstructured and structured data, APF indexes, queries and provides a standard odbc database that can scale to TB's of data.

The agent less APF appliance listens unobtrusively to many inputs to generate the Adaptive Customer Experience Index (ACEI), constantly learning what is normal for every user. As baselines are established and mature, all unique conversational patterns are compared to determine when a client is experiencing degraded performance.

Complete Automation with the CAIL Adaptive Algorithms

Automation drives Performance Management towards Adaptive mathematics.  The CAIL computational engine automatically calibrates and adjusts for every consideration that would otherwise need rules or additional steps to resolve.  ACEI has since inception  adjusted for Holidays, weekends, evenings and vacations, with no additional user inputs; this functionality begins the moment APF is activated. 

When the end-user's experience is impacted, the Anomaly Instance Detection (AID) Engine automatically launches an intelligent forensic analysis against all network, system and application elements that are related to the work the end-user is trying to accomplish.  This analysis and fact gathering often occurs before the end-user even notices a problem helping administrators to stay in front of trouble tickets.

APF’s dashboard displays all the information in an intuitive format that helps guide the client to the root cause of the anomaly.
