InfoVista Positioned in Leading Analyst Firm’s APM Magic Quadrant

InfoVista (Euronext IFV-FR0004031649), a global leader of proactive service assurance solutions, has been recognized in the Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Magic Quadrant* 2011, published by Gartner, Inc.

InfoVista’s APM product supports three of five dimensions of APM functionality as defined by Gartner, namely end-user experience monitoring, application runtime, architecture discovery, modeling and display, and, application performance analytics.

APM has become increasingly important for business service providers looking to build application awareness into their managed service offerings and performance management practices so that they can provide enterprise customers with the actionable visibility they require to better understand business-critical applications and network data traffic.

InfoVista provides a highly extensible performance assurance platform that works synergistically with VistaInsight® for Networks, the award-winning network performance management solution, to allow service providers to proactively expedite application-centric trouble shooting and problem resolution. Through a single portal that provides performance reports relating to both the application itself and the underlying related IP infrastructure, InfoVista provides the actionable visibility operators need to optimize application delivery, response time and bandwidth usage down to the end user, and manage SLAs that are relevant to their business customers.

"InfoVista’s APM capabilities are an extension of our proven, highly extensible and service-provider friendly unified network performance management platform,” said Philippe Ozanian, CEO, InfoVista. "Today’s operators are looking to transform their IT infrastructure into a distinctive asset for revenue generation, customer loyalty and business agility. InfoVista gives service providers the flexibility, multi-tenancy, scalability and fully integrated data processing they require to support the differentiated and accelerated time-to market of application-aware VPNs and other next-generation services up to the cloud.”
