Monitor the Response Time of Azure Applications from "Outside"
Apica AzureCheck is a monitoring and performance measuring service that is specifically designed for Azure applications. It gives you control of how individual instances of Azure perform, response time for outside monitoring and it also integrates support for dynamic scaling of your Azure instance.
Apica AzureCheck gives you control of how individual instances of Azure load and integrates support for dynamic scaling of new instances at load. The technology contains a fully integrated function check of the web application “from outside” via Apica’s standard application monitoring service. Response times and application functionality can be measured from any place around the world. Users will benefit from this service by combining three operations that normally require separate consultancy work or separate programs - Azure Server “Vital Signs” monitoring, application function and application response time and also dynamic scaling of new instances based on load.
“The momentum we now see in the use of the Windows Azure platform also creates a great need for easy load testing and
monitoring of the applications as a service, instead of having
to invest a lot of time in development or setting up infrastructure.
Apica’s solution is exactly what the market currently demands”
- André Henriksson, Partner Evangelist Manager,
Cloud Solutions, Microsoft.
Combine operations
Apica AzureCheck contains a fully integrated function check of the web application “from outside”, i.e. via Apica’s standard application monitoring service. Response times and application functionality can be measured from any place around the world.
The advantage of this service is that you can combine three operations that normally require separate consultancy work or separate programs:
- Azure Server “Vital Signs” monitoring.
- Application function and application response time.
- Dynamic scaling of new instances based on load.
“Azure is a very powerful platform that is growing quickly in popularity. We are delighted to offer the industry our world-leading performance solution tailored especially for Azure. Effective response time measurements, load testing, capacity planning and support for dynamic scaling are just some of the features that Apica can now offer Azure users.”
