This session discusses how to maximize the performance of an application deployment with tools that are native to the server platform, as well as cross-platform Java analysis and monitoring tools include IBM Health Center and IBM Service Engage. The session begins with systematic steps organizations can take to locate a performance problem in a complex system and moves on to analysis they can do to understand the root cause of the problem. The picture is completed by consideration of the tools and techniques available to monitor application performance in normal operation so that organizations can catch performance issues before they build up into serious problems.
