Compuware Launches SpeedoftheWeb
Free Online Cloud Service Enables Businesses to Compare Speed of Website Performance Against Leading Competitor Sites
Compuware Corporation, the technology performance company, today launched SpeedoftheWeb.org, a new free online cloud service that helps web
application and site owners increase the speed of their most important web properties. This cloud service enables organizations to compare the speed of their
website’s performance against leading competitor sites. SpeedoftheWeb is available here.
As modern application delivery continues to add complexity at the edge of the Internet, speed is one of the most important factors for improving end-user
experience on the web. Studies have shown that improving website performance can lead to increased revenues and reduced operating costs.
SpeedoftheWeb provides a series of industry-relevant indexes with categorized collections of 1,000 of the world’s most trafficked websites—as ranked by Alexa®
and Compuware Gomez® benchmarks. Some of the industry indexes include: finance, healthcare, travel, retail, media, sports and more. Web owners can easily
compare themselves against these rankings, and provide their web application and website development teams with detailed performance data and
recommendations on how to speed up website performance.

ompuware Delivers Industry’s First IPv6 Support for Application Performance Management From the Cloud to the Data Center
Compuware Delivers Industry’s First IPv6 Support for Application Performance Management (APM) From the Cloud to the Data Center
Compuware APM Platform’s Support for IPv6 Addresses Complexity at the Edge of the Internet, Optimizing Application Performance of IPv4 and IPv6 Networks
Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced that – in recognition of World IPv6 launch – the
Compuware APM® platform now supports IPv6 across its product brands — Gomez and dynaTrace. This support will help organizations ensure the quality and
performance of their web, mobile and cloud applications as they transition to IPv6, providing unparalleled insight into application performance regardless of the
network used—IPv4 or IPv6.
The Internet is going through a major architectural change as its core network layer protocol, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), is being replaced by IPv6 due to
the rapid growth of the Internet and exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. This change adds complexity at the edge of the Internet to the way browsers and devices
connect and how services operate and are accessed.
This puts end-user experience, revenue and brand reputation at risk and also impacts the way application performance is tested and monitored. Compuware’s
analysis comparing performance of IPv4 and IPv6 URLs showed that on average IPv6 sites were 80 percent slower than their IPv4 counterparts.
The Compuware APM platform addresses these complexities with the following support for IPv6:
Compuware Gomez
· Compuware Gomez Synthetic Monitoring now available for testing over both IPv4 and IPv6: this industry-first enables organizations to proactively test and
monitor web applications on both IPv4 and IPv6 using the Gomez Global Performance Network from multiple global geographic locations across North America,
Europe and Asia. Now organizations can find and fix IPv6 problems fast, ensuring quality end-user experience.
· Gomez Global Performance Network testing locations with IPv6 support now available at locations currently running IPv4 tests: now performance
comparisons can be made with the same geographical profile. All Gomez charting options are available for IPv6 tests along with trend reports, waterfalls, step- or
network-level breakdowns for analyzing IPv6 performance and to quickly troubleshoot and resolve problems.
Compuware dynaTrace®
· dynaTrace User Experience Management (UEM) automatically provides insight into end users accessing web applications from IPv6-based networks:
dynaTrace UEM now supports monitoring of users coming from IPv6 networks as well as web and application servers running on IPv6 networks. Setup,
configuration and usage of IPv6 data within UEM all work the same way as IPv4, simplifying the use of the IPv6 functionality.
· dynaTrace Data Center Real-User Monitoring (DC RUM) now allows users to identify application performance problems regardless of the underlying
network technology: DC RUM enables users to monitor applications, transactions and customer location-based end-user performance on IPv6 networks just as
easily as on existing IPv4 networks.
· dynaTrace Synthetic Monitoring setup for IPv6 is now identical to IPv4 network setup: any configuration element that uses an IP address use IPv6
addresses. Reports that list Server IP addresses will now automatically show the IPv6 address when encountered.
“IPv6 is important to our customers, and we understand the complexity it adds at the edge of the Internet that can cause poor application performance, putting
end-user experience at risk,” said John Van Siclen, General Manager of Compuware’s APM business unit. “With Compuware APM’s support for IPv6, we can
ensure that our customers have a smooth and successful transition to IPv6, with uninterrupted services.”

Compuware dynaTrace Enterprise Industry’s First Solution to Simplify Performance Optimization, Operation and Management of Modern, Dynamic Applications
Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced the industry’s first deep transaction management solution
for dynamic cloud and big data applications. The Compuware APM Spring 2012 Platform Release introduces new innovations in Compuware dynaTrace®
Enterprise that simplify performance optimization, operation and management of modern, dynamic applications.
These transformational application environments require a new approach to application performance management (APM) to support massively scalable
architectures and dynamic, elastic resource allocation. With dynaTrace Enterprise and its patented PurePath® technology, EC2 and Azure cloud applications as
well as Cassandra and Hadoop Big Data applications can be easily optimized and managed for greater performance and availability.
“Today’s application landscape is rapidly changing as virtualized environments become more dynamic and flexible and as elastic cloud applications take hold in
the enterprise,” said Julie Craig, Research Director at Enterprise Management Associates. “This means that businesses are moving beyond private cloud and
expanding use of public and even hybrid cloud. At the same time, Big Data is becoming increasingly integral to enterprise applications, as companies seek to
incorporate massive amounts of data into business analytics, decision support, BI, and many other types of data analytics solutions.”
Craig goes on to state: “These factors, combined with the integrated and dynamic nature of cloud environments, are challenging traditional APM tools, many of
which lack the agility necessary to adapt to new application architectures and design points. This is driving CIOs to re-evaluate existing toolsets for ‘cloud-
readiness,’ and many are seeking APM systems that are lighter, smarter and more versatile. Compuware is effectively addressing this need by delivering the multi-
dimensional application visibility that is necessary to ensure application performance in these very complex application environments.”
Compuware APM For Big Data Applications
Big data applications suffer from many of the performance challenges and bottlenecks that plague current distributed applications, though the volume of
performance data can be much larger. Optimizing data distribution across nodes, tuning transaction to query relationships, identifying I/O bottlenecks, tuning
CPU and memory consumption amongst thousands of nodes, and assuring job list efficiency require deep insight into Big Data applications.
dynaTrace Enterprise provides unprecedented visibility into both Cassandra NoSQL and Hadoop Map/Reduce Big Data environments, supporting these highly
scalable elastic environments in several unique ways:
· Zero-configuration instrumentation: for real-time code-level clarity for faster tuning and more scalable instances at lower costs;
· Out-of-the-box analytics and dashboards: optimized for Cassandra and Hadoop, for quick MTTR, effective tuning and easy management;

· Auto-adaptive instrumentation and dashboards for zero-touch elastic use;
· Smart auto-baselines for fast time-to-value and no false-positive alerting even for dynamic, highly elastic environments; and
· Automatic log file correlation to transaction detail for deeper application context and faster mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR) than any alternative approach in
the market.
Compuware APM for Cloud and Multi-Cloud Applications
As cloud security becomes trusted, application performance has become top of mind for many CIOs and CTOs architecting and deploying business critical
applications in the cloud. Cloud applications have quickly become too dynamic for traditional APM systems, which require manual provisioning of virtual
machines, dashboards and reporting systems. dynaTrace Enterprise changes all this with extended cloud capabilities for VMWare, EC2 and Azure as well as:
· Auto-discovery, auto-adaptive PurePath® instrumentation: for lower operational cost and deepest application visibility even for multi-cloud (e.g. vCloud +
EC2 and/or Azure) and hybrid cloud environments;
· Dynamic behavioral analytics for smart auto-baselines: adjusts to real-time events providing dramatically fewer false positive alerts than simple historical
baselines;
· Zero-configuration operations dashboards: adapts automatically to dynamic changes in the cloud infrastructure for fast time-to-value and no lost data;
· Auto-correlated multi-layer view: for application, virtual machine, guest operating system, and hypervisor visibility for faster, more accurate triage, and
fastest MTTR;
· Secure 3-tier collector architecture: for easy administration, superior scalability and secure performance data management in single-cloud and multi-cloud
environments, enabling truly global patented PurePath tracing; and
· Cloud, Web and Mobile UEM for IPv6: for ensuring visibility in the growing number of IPv6 user base, with the only deep end-to-end user centric
Compuware APM offering.
“I hear from customers everywhere I go that their application environments are changing more rapidly than ever,” said Bernd Greifeneder, Chief Technology
Officer & Senior Vice President of dynaTrace Enterprise Engineering for Compuware’s APM business unit. “Our dynaTrace Enterprise Spring Release has been
designed and built with the myriad of new application challenges in mind – dynamic clouds, elastic big data and automatic operations support. As with all our
releases, customers helped us design, test and tune our leading-edge capabilities which, I believe, will continue to set Compuware APM apart from other
offerings.”
