POST MIGRATION Continued Diagnosis of Poorly Performing Applications Using SysTrack can determine whether a server application issue is an anomaly or a system wide problem. SysTrack generates an audit trail of applications accessed by specific users, and sets of systems. This enables IT administrators to proactively communicate knowledgably with end users about application availability issues, tied to backend server and what is being done to resolve them. Infrastructure and Resource Health Checks and Optimization SysTrack provides real-time health and availability monitoring for insight into developing problems. SysTrack enables IT administrators to achieve visibility into performance for easier identification, diagnosis and elimination of potential problems before user productivity is impacted. Historical Forensic / Root Cause Analysis SysTrack offers root cause analysis for better insight into causes of a performance issue. This reduces the troubleshooting time greatly, and eliminates the need for IT administrators to wait for the problem to reoccur. Ongoing Capacity Planning SysTrack accurately quantifies the usage of system resources and provides a methodology for profiling associated user and application behavior, eliminating the guessing at server hardware expenditures to support a user base. With SysTrack, IT administrators can accurately forecast system upgrades and forecast budgets with three years of data pertaining to system utilization.
