Abstract:

To an ever-increasing extent, the world of applications and the world of the network to support those applications are converging.  In fact, one of the most exciting technology areas for 2004 will be the continued integration of “layer 4 through 7” capabilities into traditional networking equipment.

But what does this mean to the enterprise, and how do you architect your network to take advantage of these emerging capabilities?

In this IT Business Brief, our long-time associate, Lynn Nye, proposes both a function description of what you should expect from application performance management systems and an architecture that provides these function at various points in the network.
