Overview
Application performance management relies on gathering critical information about the network, the servers and the applications themselves. If an application has already been deployed and there is limited understanding of how that application is performing on the network, then there is really no way to know how additional applications will perform. Therefore, application performance management consists of managing applications before they are deployed (impact readiness), managing the applications that are already deployed (discovery and profiling), and managing the applications after they are deployed (measurement and monitoring).

These tasks require support from traditional siloed organizations within IT, including the application development team, the server team, the network team and the operations team. In the past, the developers would create an application and deploy it, and the server and network folks would argue and point fingers at each other regarding performance issues.
