Web 2.0 Applications

Even with the best planning, once a Web application goes into production it has a life of its own. No QA process or laboratory can accurately predict how end-users will behave and how they will experience the application. In the real world, conditions are constantly changing, usage patterns are evolving and new features must be added. At the same time, availability and interactivity are absolutely crucial. The challenge is to deploy resources intelligently and scale efficiently without letting costs spiral out of control.

B-hive Conductor™ for Web 2.0 Applications gives you a clear picture of the actual user experience so that you can maintain service delivery levels. Conductor helps you to evaluate the impact of new features and decide when and where to add another server or database. As usage increases, Conductor enables you to accurately assess your infrastructure and operational requirements and to prioritize investments according to business objectives. You can also protect against the impact of API calls and bots that can consume large amounts of application resources at the expense of the end-user experience.

B-hive Conductor for Web 2.0 Applications features:

• Transaction visibility: Understand the end user experience in real time, including the transactions they are executing and the conditions they are experiencing.
• Application and infrastructure scalability: Identify the bottleneck components and modules as well as scaling requirements.
• Cost-effective operations: Drive operations based on pre-defined service level goals. Proactively avoid problems and cut costs through automation and effective resource sharing.
• Change control: Measure the positive or negative impact of each change in code or infrastructure.
• Flood protection: Prepare for jumps in usage to ensure that applications can withstand the pressure. B-hive enables you to prioritize and ensure availability for critical transactions and user roles.
