Blue Turtle acknowledges Nastel as a strong performer in the APM market space

Blue Turtle's partnership with Nastel reinforces our view on Middleware Management covering transaction based end-user, application flow analytics and business process mapping, which further combines to provide a holistic situational, statistical, and predictive image of the middleware intergration layer


Johannesburg & Melville, NY, 17 Oct 2016

Nastel, leader in application performance management (APM) was named a strong performer by Forrester in a recent APM Research Report. Nastel, provides real-time APM and IT Operations Analytics for middleware and applications, specifically the IBM Websphere, MQ, Database environments. In the Forrester Wave Application Performance Management, (Q3 2016) Nastel achieved the highest score possible in APM Analytics criterion. It evaluates vendors across 28 distinct criteria, aggregated into three general groupings: current offering, strategy, and market presence.

Forrester notes in the report that, along with other key customer considerations, APM solutions compete on their ability to "not only get to the root cause of downtime and performance issues more quickly but also anticipate these problems so I&O pros can resolve them before they become issues at all."

This is still the number one concern, according to Charley Rich, VP-Product Management at Nastel. But he notes there are other major business drivers of Nastel's product roadmap. "Our customers must be ready to handle the swell of digital transformation sweeping their organizations. So we're expanding their capacity for seamless, end-to-end visibility and analytics across their enterprise assets, cloud services, microservices, mobile apps, and the IOT - all must be included in a holistic solution. The tangible business outcomes are more productivity, better business service reliability, real-time customer experience knowledge, and explicit knowledge of how IT activities are tied to the 24/7 delivery of business services."

As the usage model for analytics accelerates its shift from reactive to proactive, Nastel is expanding clients' ability to take advantage of fast data - characterised as high-volume, time-sensitive streaming metrics and unstructured data. Rich says: "Use cases range from compliance, security, on-line order processing, mobile apps - the list is almost endless. If you can process and analyse massive amounts of short-lived data regardless of source, and link that ability to natural language query and visualisation tools, then you have the foundation for identifying trends and taking corrective actions in real-time. Not an easy feat by any means, but absolutely necessary to enable an ever-expanding set of digital business services."

"In an era when business functions are more sophisticated, diverse, integrated and immediate than ever, analytical Application Performance Management plays an essential role for our clients and IT professionals," says Andrew Parsons, Business Product Manager at Blue Turtle. "To properly manage today's application environment, organizations must be able to analyse the entire application chain from end to end, understanding the dependencies between the links in the chain. It must also be able to focus on early detection of abnormalities, differentiating symptom from cause rather than simply reacting to an outage.

"We are confident in Nastel's APM technology ability to combine these two factors providing the level of assurance IT needs in its key mission: to reduce the frequency and duration of outages and we commend them on their continuous growth and award recognition."
