The wide adoption of cloud computing by the enterprise is changing the IT map, and cloud performance management has evolved as the next logical progression in bringing efficiency to enterprises. Historically, IT operations have relied on Network Performance Management (NPM) and Application Performance Management (APM) to ensure their systems and applications run smoothly and efficiently. With the proliferation of applications residing both on-premise and within the cloud, small, medium and large enterprises are increasingly relying on next generation APM solutions as well as native cloud performance management solutions to effectively manage and monitor their applications.
