Barcelona, 8 May 2012 – Lucierna, the specialist application performance and optimization company, has been unveiled as a company that Gartner recognizes as a Cool Vendor in the application performance monitoring (APM) market.* Alongside its ability to monitor 100% of the code, 100% of the time with just a 2% overhead, Lucierna is able to identify the root cause of a performance issue and provide information in a way that allows for a greater understanding of where the problem lies so that it can be resolved.
As the APM space increasingly establishes itself as a critical part of IT, the Gartner Cool Vendors in Application Performance Monitoring 2012 report seeks to highlight innovating emerging companies that are gathering momentum in the market due to their new approach. Lucierna has consistently looked to provide an APM solution that both breaks the industry mold as well as enabling customers to solve more problems, with less effort.
Manuel Lopez, CEO, Lucierna said: “APM is a burgeoning market and rightly so. Businesses are run on applications - when they go offline or slow down, so do their operations. This has the knock of effect of making them less competitive and responsive. In today’s fast paced global economy no enterprise can afford to be in a position where it isn’t open for business 24/7.”
“However this critical need for APM solutions has given rise to a lot of hype. We’ve looked to counteract that by bringing to market a powerful solution, that embodies simplicity to help our customers quickly understand the why, when and where of APM. We’re delighted that our approach and technology has gained such significant traction and to be recognized as a Cool Vendor,” Lopez continued.
Lucierna recently became the first APM company to introduce native application monitoring on Android devices, which enables company to see the application version, mobile device capabilities, user connection type (WiFi, 3G) actual load time, network latency and end-to-end bandwidth available. This information is then correlated with data from the application server in order to create a unique view right from the inner most part of the data center through to the mobile application. With this information, companies can ensure that the increasing move towards mobility doesn’t create IT performance blind spots.
