Web services and service-oriented architectures (SOA) provide the flexibility enterprises need to adapt quickly to changing business demands. But they introduce a new paradox: communication between disparate systems is simplified yet the environment into which these services are deployed is more complex. It's no longer enough to address the performance of services technologies such as Web services without considering their impact on the environment into which they are deployed.

Learn how to ensure superior performance of service-enabled environments by enabling:

• End-to-end response-time monitoring of Web-based transactions
• The ability to map dependencies and facilitate a view down to the individual transaction level of a Web application and its associated services
• SLA compliance via real-time visibility into performance and proactive notification that can provide advance warning of a slowdown or outage
