Introduction

CA Application Delivery Analysis, the end-to-end performance monitoring module in the CA Performance Center (CA PC) and CA NetQoS Performance Center (CA NPC), tracks and measures application response time without desktop or server agents. End-to-end performance monitoring enables you to do the following:

CA Application Delivery Analysis monitors TCP application packets from the network, into the data center, and out again and lets you measure Network Round Trip Time, Server Response Time, Data Transfer Time, and much more.

The management console separates response time into application, network, and server delay components to help you rapidly troubleshoot network performance bottlenecks and maintain application performance. Automated processes measure and analyze application performance for all TCP/IP user transactions. These processes then compare response times against thresholds and automatically investigate problems as they occur. Network and Operations groups now have the key diagnostic data to quickly solve performance problems.

CA Application Delivery Analysis also monitors availability and application performance so that you have a consistent set of service-quality metrics for your internal users and external service providers, even if there are no formal Operational Level Agreements (OLAs) in place.
