Successful APM Implementation for Tier 1 Telco in UK

Business Overview

As one of the largest providers of telecom services in the UK, the client's legacy tech stack faced several production issues, particularly with capacity limitations and frequent unavailability of business services.

Challenge

The client's heterogeneous architecture made it challenging to identify the root cause of performance problems in production, ensure the performance of SaaS/PaaS-based applications, and determine which business services were impacting performance.

Strategy & Implementation

Implementing Full-stack App Monitoring

Implementing and Instrumenting full stack application performance monitoring. Various patterns such as agent-based, log monitoring, synthetic monitoring, agentless, SDK plug-in development, etc used to implement application monitoring solutions in diversified environments.

Gathering Performance Metrics

The performance metrics include historic trends, correlated diverse factors, and performance, consumption, or error rate changes. Major aspects for finding problems at code, application, service, or host level solutions provide bolt-on or ground-up security for organizations transitioning to a cloud environment.

Analyzing Performance Metrics Data

Analyzing the performance metrics data to understand the insights of the complete IT Platform allows us to run applications at their maximum performance and led to quick findings regarding potential problems.

Creating Dashboards

Visualizing by creating dashboards to troubleshoot issues or give a summary of the state of applications and resources. Dashboards allow you to accurately monitor incidents and support successful business transactions.

Alerting Anomalies

Alerting anomalies to actively manage while relying on the passive monitoring of the software to watch for changing conditions. The use of filtering rules based on severities and application/host group tags provides a powerful mechanism for routing and filtering problem alerts and sent to the right support team.
