1367J-3 Revolutionary Application Management solutions for today's mission-critical applications. Enterprises are trusting their survival to mission-critical applications from companies like SAP, Baan, PeopleSoft, Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and Lotus. These applications must be managed as professionally as the underlying hardware and network infrastructure. That's what Application Management is about - and David Spuler's Enterprise Application Management with PATROLA (R) is the first comprehensive guide to this new discipline. You'll discover how to identify and prioritize enterprise application management problems-and implement solutions across the entire application infrastructure, for maximum effectiveness. You'll also master BMC's PATROL, the world's #1 end-to-end Application Management system.Coverage includes: *Defining an architecture for managing availability, event generation, problem detection, performance and service levels *Integrating application instrumentation standards, including SNMP and WBEM *Specific techniques for managing each leading enterprise application and database *Developing PATROL Knowledge Management modules and extending PATROL to in-house applications *A complete Application Management case study: The BMC Enterprise PATROL Center No matter which enterprise applications you use-or your role in managing them-Enterprise Application Management with PATROLA (R) can help you achieve unprecedented levels of performance and reliability.
