Top Considerations for Ensuring .NET
Application Manageability
Microsoft's .NET Framework provides
a compelling platform for building
robust distributed applications.
However, over two-thirds of the
total cost of ownership (TCO) of
these applications is incurred once
the applications are deployed in
production. Forward-thinking
strategies and planning throughout
the application lifecycle can ensure
application manageability and
significantly reduce TCO. Architects,
developers and operations teams
should consider the strategies and
concepts outlined in this white
paper when
planning and developing .NET
applications. |

Line of Business Application
Monitoring: Ensuring Availability
and Reliability
Typically, organizations
select a monitoring solution for
their line-of-business applications
based on feedback from a few
individuals charged with evaluating
products. This process is imperfect
as these evaluators may not
represent the total population of
users or those who will benefit from
the monitoring solution. For
example, evaluators from Operations
and Development backgrounds will
have different monitoring
requirements and goals. So, the
question remains: what is the best
monitoring approach for ensuring
optimal performance and uptime? |

Troubleshooting .NET Applications -
Knowing Which Tools to Use and When
The source of failures, as
well as the nature of production
environments, needs to be considered
when selecting tools for production
level monitoring and
troubleshooting. This white paper
will address two categories of
application errors, and will
demonstrate the use of ADPlus for
pinpointing the root cause of
application crashes, and AVIcode
Intercept Studio for pinpointing the
root cause of functional errors. |

Application Health Modeling and
Monitoring -Enhancing Microsoft's
Dynamic Systems Initiative with
Intercept Studio
As software development
teams and solutions become more
distributed, limited visibility
between increasingly remote systems
has lead to isolated pockets of
component knowledge. Learn how
Microsoft's Dynamic Systems
Initiative and dynamic application
models can help bridge these
"information silos" and enable
organizations to test environment
compatibility prior to application
deployment.
