Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c81582) has announced the addition of Advisory Note: Application Flow Management - An Invisible Market That Can Transform Your IT Organization in Very Visible Ways to their offering.
AFM represents a contextual way of looking at application flows across the networked infrastructure in real time. It may include everything from packet and protocol analysis, to paired flow analysis, to transaction analysis at the client and data center side. The core concept behind AFM is "bloodstream" as application performance across a geography can be interpreted in various parameters to support more real-time awareness of actual service performance and the conditions impacting it.
Probably very few of you have ever heard of "Application Flow Management" or AFM. And if you have, or think you have, you most likely associate it with network management technologies like NetFlow, for capturing application "conversations" across the network. While this isn't entirely off the mark - paired flow analysis of traffic volumes across the network is a part of AFM - it's very far from being the whole picture.
For a few years now, EMA has been assessing a series of capabilities that tend to be orthogonal to most approaches to network performance management, and to performance management in general. Traditional approaches, which are still the most dominant in the market, and especially dominant among platform vendors, have focused on monitoring events and collecting SNMP statistics through polling network and systems devices. These solutions use this information to isolate points of failure in the infrastructure on a component level that may or may not impact application service performance.
