SharePath for the Data Center goes beyond application performance management and business transaction management. SharePath enables IT to deliver on the promise of reliable and predictable business services delivery. SharePath tracks every individual transaction across all hops—from a click in the browser through all the data center layers and back. SharePath’s unique ability to analyze and model cross-tier transaction behavior based on that data ensures that if a performance problem occurs, you know immediately where, why, and who is affected. SharePath delivers all of the information needed to quickly resolve performance issues.

Fully Automated Transaction Path Detection & Cross-Tier Metering
SharePath monitors all transactions as they execute across the entire infrastructure. It understands exactly what every transaction does during its journey from a click at the desktop through the entire data center, and then back to the user. Metering resource usage and latencies for each individual transaction for every hop provides an understanding of the exact impact each hardware/software component has on end-user experience. This information is critical for identifying root causes of application performance issues regardless of their architecture, both on-premise and in the cloud.

Automated Modeling of Cross-Tier Transaction Behavior
Automatically generated models describe exactly how transactions utilize the infrastructure over time, across all components, and through multiple tiers and applications. Models make it easy to visualize the exact contribution of each component to the end-user experience for each type of transaction. They enable fast discovery of bottlenecks as well as root causes of recurring, sporadic performance issues, optimizing applications and continuously improving end-user experience.

Automated Behavior Change Reporting and Analysis
SharePath reports on data center, application, and transaction behavior changes, showing the exact impact each component has on end-user experience. SharePath pinpoints changes that cause performance problems, dramatically reducing the mean-time-to-resolution of performance issues and SLA breaches. This comprehensive change analysis allows performance issues and bottlenecks to be identified before rolling out new or updated applications.

Proactive Service Level Intelligence
SharePath goes beyond service level management by providing actionable knowledge of how to improve service levels. Automatically generated models enable proactive service level degradation alerts.

Proactive Alerts
SharePath monitors and generates alerts on malfunctioning infrastructure components that may cause end-user service degradation. This feature enables a proactive approach to performance and SLA management.

Auto-Detection of Business/IT Dependencies
Business transactions, services, application tiers, and software and hardware elements are dynamically detected. SharePath understands the relationship between business services and their hardware/software components. An accurate, real-time business-to-software-to-hardware topology mapping is always available. Accurate mapping is critical to manage impact analysis whenever a change to the existing IT infrastructure or application architecture is under consideration—for example, during application rollouts or cloud migration.

Extensive Reporting Capabilities
Built-in and custom reporting provides the information needed to understand the performance profile of the monitored systems from both a data center and end-user perspective.

Environment and Resource Independent
Unlike other solutions, SharePath supports all environments and application components, regardless of how they were developed. Whether Java, .NET, C, C++ or COBOL, SharePath’s unique technology has no limitations on what can be monitored and tracked through, allowing transaction tracking, monitoring and management for any type of environment.

Easy Deployment, Painless Installation
The installation process has been carefully designed to be fast and easy. SharePath does not even require a restart of the managed application.

No Integration
Deploying SharePath does not require development or integration—not even code instrumentation.
