Correlsense Makes Finding A Needle In A Haystack Easy: Page 3 of 3

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Correlsense, a business transaction management company, along with one of its customers, GAINSCO Insurance. We discussed Correlsense's product, SharePath, which monitors and tracks all of an application's transactions in real time, and can rapidly deliver root-cause analysis and display where transactions are slowed or stalled.

The Event Management Platform stores all of its collected data in a common repository that in turn supports API capabilities for further utilization of collected information for chargeback support, security monitoring, auditing, configuration management database (CMDB) purposes and capacity planning. Spanning the repository and the Event Management Platform is Correlsense's Reliability and Reporting layer (which also supports all of the aforementioned API capabilities). Topping off the layered architecture is the company's unique IT Reliability Dashboard, which enables SharePath users to view in real time active topology, transaction monitoring, transaction trees and profiles, with workload breakdowns

Correlsense has continued to build out its partner program throughout 2010. This coupled with the overall capability of the product should result in strong sales and deployment of SharePath throughout 2011. The company is providing a free one-year trial of the Real User Monitoring capability so that users can get a feel for some of the numerous capabilities of the product. You can find the trial information at the Correlsense Web site. From my perspective, this is one product that is certainly well worth a look if you need comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and reporting capabilities presented in terms that are easily understood and that can be shared via API for further exploitation of the collected infrastructure data.

As of the writing of this blog, Correlsense is not a client of Tom Trainer or Analytico.
