Short description
GeNiEnd2End Application is a proactive end-to-end monitoring solution, that supplies key performance indicators from critical business processes from the end user perspective. GeNiEnd2End Application measures the performance of business critical applications from a user viewpoint on client/server, web and mainframe platforms.

Benefit

Measuring service-level from user perspective for e.g. ITIL-implementation
Productivity advantages and cost reduction through key data about the total service
Prevention of escalations through simple error assignment in case of performance problems

Features

Simple integration in existing network management solutions
Automatic breakdown of the response time by network and client/server part
Controller adequate price model

Monitor IT-service-levels from a user view

GeNiEnd2End Application is a proactive end-to-end monitoring solution that supplies key data from critical business processes from the user perspective. GeNiEnd2End Application measures the performance quality of business critical applications from a user viewpoint on client/server, web and mainframe platforms and for example supports SAP R/3, Telnet 3270, Oracle, Lotus Notes, MS-Exchange and other proprietary client/server solutions. With the GeNiEnd2End Application you can manage service levels proactively under business aspects and provide reports about the adherence of SLAs for complex applications in distributed environments. With the GeNiEnd2End Application, quantifiable availability and performance key data can be collected from a user viewpoint and performance weaknesses can be isolated and eliminated before agreed service-level targets are violated. This performance information can be used in the operative resource control for the prioritization of IT problems.

The functionality of GeNiEnd2End Application

GeNiEnd2End Application consists of the GeNiServer, the central data collection, control, and evaluation point and the GeNiAgents that measure the IT-service quality. The GeNiAgents are installed at defined performance transfer points and simulate business transactions (Reference transactions). The GeNiAgents conduct typical work steps of the user with time-control. A consequence of different sub transactions can be summarized to a complete business transaction. The GeNiAgents work transparently and supply realistic measurement data such as availability, response times (broken down by client, network, and application) and data throughput from a user viewpoint. The creation of the scripts is very easy, as they can be created with a capture-replay function. Via the additional timing and error treatment procedures the scripts are performed faster and thus cause fewer errors.

All GeNIAgents are controlled centrally over the web based GeNiServer software. The simulation scripts are centrally administered here and can be assigned to every GeNiAgent. Further it is possible to determine individual test conducting times. For reliability reasons, functionality of all GeNiAgents, including the script performance, is monitored by the GeNiServer. The result is identified by a signal light. The determined transaction measurement values are saved in a SQL-database. The integrated reporting module creates graphic reports from this data, which make availability and response times visible pertaining to positions and trends. With reports/threshold values definable by the user, important identification values can be actively monitored. The system gives alarm if the set threshold values are exceeded. GeNiEnd2End Application supplies you with objective measurement values and thus contributes to the securing of the service quality. This is due to it immediately recognizing shortages from the user viewpoint and reporting them.

From component management to service management

Today, business processes are the centre of attention for the previously mostly technically oriented IT. This requires rethinking in all areas of a company. The IT-organization is now no longer conducted by classic function areas but by service processes. Instead of performance data from the viewpoint of the system, objective and quantifiable performance data from the view of the end user are used as control tools. Without this key data the IT cannot be operated economically. Via GeNiEnd2End Application the provided service quality is evaluated for the entire service chain. GeNiEnd2End Application supplies availability and performance data from a user point of view and is able to determine whether an end user problem is based on network or application problems. The IT service quality can be monitored objectively from the user view only through end user-experience monitoring.

End user-experience (EUE)-monitoring - Objective data for the communication between user and IT provider

Via GeNiEnd2End Application you proactively monitor the application availability for the entire transfer path from the application to the end device, and are therefore able to react faster if the performance of an application decreases. GeNiEnd2End Application informs you of access peaks or system overloads on time. This way you are able to react quickly - even before the problems occur for the user! The solution emulates end user transactions against applications around the clock, seven days a week and thus creates the requirements for 24x7-availability as well as for performance of the entire service chain.

Your special benefit

With the GeNiEnd2End Application you are able to evaluate the quality of service levels from the end user perspective for the entire performance range. Monitoring from a user point of view is frequently the only way to monitor the performance in outsourced services. Only objective data enables a targeted elimination of performance problems. With this solution you receive key data over the entire service range in order to create the necessary transparency for complex applications in distributed environments. The early warning system GeNiEnd2End Application supplies exact measurement data about application performance, response times and availability of critical transactions from a user viewpoint. GeNIAgents simulate typical transactions controlled by script at important user locations. This measurement data is saved in a central database and the results are presented over the web based user interface.
