Application Dependency Mapping

What is Application Dependency Mapping?

Application dependency mapping need

Application Dependency Mapping improves IT efficiency in terms and enables IT teams to assess the risk or impact of a change before doing so, understand the later impacts of problems, and plan strategic projects.

The main use cases for application dependency mapping:

• Asset management and audits
• Identifying the root cause for application disruptions and slow performance
• Disaster recovery planning and change control monitoring
• Assessments before migrating to the cloud or data centers
• Maintain a strong security posture for your deployment and reduce risks

Automatically detect and document application and server dependencies

• Automated visualization of all virtual, physical, and cloud assets and their application-level interdependencies, without installing any agents.
• Direct DPI-based classification for more than 3,600 applications (web, database, SaaS, healthcare, financial).
• Automatically generated and updated in real time for all applications.
• Create and customize multi-tier edifiable application groups based on your requirements.

Monitor application health and resolve issues quickly

• Accurate and up-to-date inventory of all assets and their dependencies.
• Single-click identification of the root cause in application performance to the bottlenecks of the application, infrastructure, and virtual/physical network directly from the dependency map.
• Customize dependency maps based on your mission-critical services in a single click.
• View the application response time, network response time, and transactions for all assets directly from the map.

Take control of your changes and identify policy violations

• Support change management to manage unpredictable evolution of WORKLOADs, networks, and IT technologies.
• Insights into incorrect infrastructure and application configurations and their impact on each other.
• Plan your disaster recovery and eliminate data loss with the assurance that all business-critical applications come back to life and work as efficiently as before.
• View additions, deletions, and modifications for any asset and dependency with simple color codes.

Plan your organization's migration strategies with agentless pre-migration assessments

• In-depth understanding of infrastructure and application assets in the data center and their interdependencies.
• Identify current VMs that have performance issues and fix them before migrating.
• Comprehensive guidance on provisioning compute resources and network usage for future public cloud cost estimates.
• Export results to Excel or CMDB systems.
