Adopting the BTM Point of View – A Holistic Approach to Monitoring Distributed, Multi -hop Enterprise Environments 

INETCO just published a whitepaper written by Loki Jorgenson, Chief Scientist & Stacy Gorkoff, Director of Strategic Marketing.

Here’s an Overview:

The look and feel of the payments industry is changing rapidly. Banks, card networks and payment processors are supporting more payment types, services and applications than ever before. They are starting to move aspects of their costly internal systems and network infrastructures off-premise and into Clouds – public, private, and hybrid. Once-localized application systems are now distributed across inter-connected data centers, call centers, external third party services, and virtual server environments. These complex “multihop” environments are giving way to a number of new transaction management and performance optimization challenges that traditional application performance management tools are not built to handle.

This whitepaper takes a look at the challenges being faced by IT operations and applications support teams that are responsible for timely problem resolution and application performance optimization within multi-hop payment transaction environments. This document will help to:  

• Identify the new transaction management and performance optimization requirements emerging within distributed, complex, multi-hop transaction environments, such as the payments system.

•  Understand what business transaction management (BTM) solutions are, and how they can help efficiently troubleshoot application performance and network latencies within multi-hop environments.

• Implement easier ways to obtain the real-time visibility and granular transaction intelligence needed to eliminate transaction blind spots, manage multiple third party connections and off-premise networks, and monitor inter-application communications.
