E-businesses center their internal and external business processes on these new applications and the success of the business depends upon their performance. Continuous application availability and instantaneous response time are now the standards for application performance. Even the most creative and content-rich web site can fail to deliver full value if users abandon the site due to poor response. Lost revenue, bad publicity and declining stock prices all flow from poor e-business performance.
Internet time is realtime.
NetScout's E-Business Application Flow Management solutions address this requirement. These tools help IT departments focus their performance management efforts on delivering absolute availability and rapid troubleshooting. The tools can determine if the performance of an e-business site is being threatened, whether from a hacker attack causing Denial of Service or from an unforeseen surge in business activity. They also provide immediate notification if URLs are failing to meet responsiveness objectives. This allows rapid deployment of resources to enable customers to gain access to the site or prevent them from abandoning their visit before they can complete a purchase.
