   Rich Internet Application (RIA) Monitoring

   Many enterprises are embracing Web 2.0 technologies to enable the creation of richer and more responsive interactions for their employees, customers, and partners. However, the evolution of Web 2.0 has brought about a set of applications that have unique technology complexities, making it more challenging to measure and monitor performance with first-generation Application Performance Management tools.

   Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are becoming an increasingly popular platform for developing more sophisticated web applications that go well beyond basic, thin-client, browser-based interfaces to providing the look and feel of “Thick Client” interfaces. Technologies like Ajax, Flash and Silverlight are being used to develop these second generation, dynamic web applications.

   Enterprises must have the right set of application performance and management tools in place to monitor this new breed of applications, as traditional web application monitoring tools, such as network appliances, have no visibility into the client-side rendering component of the complete, end-to-end transaction response time.

   Understanding Real End User Experience of Rich Internet Applications with Aternity

   With Aternity, enterprises that are leveraging Web 2.0 technologies gain the ability to close the visibility gap between what their data center-centric application performance management and monitoring tools “see”, and what their end users are actually experiencing on the frontline.

   Aternity’s Rich Internet Application (RIA) support provides “Key-to-Glass” monitoring of AJAX applications that include the client-side Javascript execution, delivering precise, end-to-end response times from the Desktop Vantage point.

   With Aternity’s RIA support, enterprises gain a fine grained view of next-generation web application performance that far surpasses traditional HTTP traffic and Web Server Monitoring, neither of which can deliver the true render time of this new breed of Web Applications.
