Life Cycle Metrics Methodology
In many environments, application performance and availability is addressed typically after the application has been deployed to production. As shown in the diagram below, this results in very high costs to address business productivity and risk issues arising from poor performing applications.
Evidant, following years of development of its Production Metrics Methodology, has introduced a complimentary methodology for building performance and availability into an application before it is released to production. Evidant's approach covers the following areas:
- Building Performance and Availability into Application Definition and Design.
- Integrating Metrics into existing Processes and Methodologies
- Service Level Agreement (SLA) Design, Review and Implementation
- Monitoring Tool Review and Gap Analysis
The Life Cycle Metrics Methodology is designed to provide value to application development organizations regardless of where an application is in its lifecycle as shown below.
The benefits of this methodology are:
- The application meets the business needs for Performance and Availability
- Objective Performance and Availability metrics are in place when the application is released to production
- Clear communications between the business and IT on Performance and Availability issues, needs and opportunities
