Growing Number of VAR, Ecosystem Alliance, and Cloud Platform Partners Helps Address Today's Requirements for APM in Enterprise Production Environments
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7 -- AppDynamics, Inc.(TM), the next-generation Application Performance Management (APM) company, today unveiled a strategic partner program aimed at helping the company meet the growing enterprise demand for its application performance management solution. The program extends AppDynamics' global reach and product capabilities, enabling the company to address the worldwide need for production-ready application performance management solutions.
AppDynamics' next-generation Application Performance Management redefines the APM market through its ability to easily and accurately manage distributed applications in high-volume production environments without adding excess overhead, and has contributed to the success of key customers such as Priceline.com and Yap. AppDynamics offers specific capabilities that are required for a next-generation APM solution, including application mapping, transaction flow monitoring, code-level diagnostics, and cloud orchestration.
AppDynamics has already registered an initial set of select partners in the following parts of the company's strategic partner program:
-- The Value-Added Reseller Program certifies resellers who specialize in
performance tuning and have deep experience working in Java and .Net
environments. The program provides partners with revenue-related
discounts, discounted in-house purchases of demonstration systems,
pilot program pricing, ongoing product and channel communications
updates, technical training and certification, and cooperative
marketing and lead-generation programs. To qualify as a certified
AppDynamics VAR partner, candidates must meet a number of
organizational and technical requirements, including technical
training. Certified partners receive technical, sales and marketing
support from AppDynamics. Early members include European partners
Application Performance in the UK, Benzler in Sweden, and
Tools2Perform in Benelux, with continued growth planned in Europe and
the U.S., followed by APAC.
-- The Ecosystem Alliance Partner Program brings together service or
technology providers that complement AppDynamics' APM functionalities
in order to build an ecosystem of capabilities to deliver
state-of-the-art solutions to mutual customers. Program members work
with AppDynamics to integrate their products to deliver timely, joint
solutions to customers, and share resources and expertise. Initial
program partners include SOASTA, a leading provider of performance
intelligence with its SOASTA CloudTest® product, and Red Hat, whose
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the leading open source Java
application server. AppDynamics has also joined Red Hat's JBoss ISV
Partner Program to ensure all JBoss Enterprise Middleware technologies
are automatically recognized and supported by the AppDynamics
technology set.
-- The Cloud Platform Partner Program joins suppliers of cloud-based
application hosting and/or dynamic compute capacity services with
AppDynamics to enable customers with performance sensitive,
mission-critical applications to migrate and run in their service
clouds. AppDynamics has teamed up with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a
leading provider of cloud-based infrastructure web services, a
platform that AppDynamics integrates with in order to deliver its
dynamic cloud orchestration capabilities. AppDynamics has also joined
the AWS Solution Provider program and integrates with AWS to deliver
its dynamic cloud orchestration capabilities.
