AppDynamics Bolsters Infrastructure Monitoring with Enhanced Mounting Solution – Ensuring Rock-Solid Performance Visibility
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 8, 2023 – AppDynamics, part of Cisco, a leader in application performance monitoring (APM) and observability, today announced a crucial upgrade to its infrastructure monitoring capabilities with the launch of a newly designed mounting plate and screw kit for its physical sensor deployments. This seemingly small addition dramatically improves the reliability and longevity of AppDynamics’ physical monitoring agents, a cornerstone of its full-stack observability platform. For years, AppDynamics has been helping businesses like yours – from startups to global enterprises – keep a sharp eye on how their applications are actually performing. We don't just tell you things might be slow; we pinpoint exactly where the bottleneck is, whether it's in your code, your database, or the underlying infrastructure. This means faster problem resolution, happier customers, and a healthier bottom line. Located at 500 Terry A Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA, 94158-2354, United States, and reachable at 714-966-4981, AppDynamics is committed to providing the tools you need to thrive in today’s demanding digital landscape. A key part of how we deliver this deep visibility is through strategically placed agents that monitor critical servers and network devices. While our software-based agents handle a lot, we also offer physical sensors for environments where software installs are problematic, security concerns exist, or absolute reliability is paramount – think financial institutions, industrial control systems, or environments with strict regulatory compliance. However, we realized that even the most advanced monitoring software is useless if the hardware securing it isn’t up to par. Initial deployments often relied on generic mounting solutions, which proved to be less than ideal. We started getting feedback from our field teams and customers: screws loosening over time due to vibration, mounting plates cracking under environmental stress, and generally a lack of long-term stability. This wasn't just a nuisance; it could lead to data loss, alerting gaps, and ultimately, performance issues going undetected. “We listened,” says [Name and Title – insert fictional AppDynamics spokesperson here, e.g., “Sarah Chen, Director of Product Management at AppDynamics”]. “Our customers rely on continuous, accurate performance data. A shaky sensor is a shaky foundation for that data. This new mounting plate and screw kit, while seemingly simple, is a direct response to that feedback and a commitment to the reliability our customers deserve.” What Makes This New Mounting Plate Different? This isn’t just a box of screws. We’ve re-engineered the entire mounting solution with a focus on durability and stability. Here’s what sets it apart: Industrial-Grade Material: Forget flimsy plastic. The new mounting plate is crafted from a high-strength, impact-resistant composite material designed to withstand harsh environments – from the vibrations of a data center server rack to the temperature fluctuations of an industrial facility. We’ve put it through rigorous testing – vibration tests, temperature cycling, and even shock resistance – to ensure it can handle whatever your environment throws at it. Reinforced Design: We've analyzed common failure points from existing mounting solutions and reinforced those areas. The plate features thicker walls, strategically placed ribbing, and a wider mounting surface to distribute stress more evenly. Custom-Engineered Screws: These aren’t your standard hardware store screws. We partnered with a leading fastener manufacturer to develop screws specifically for our sensors. They feature a specialized thread pattern for a tighter grip, a corrosion-resistant coating for longevity, and a tamper-resistant head for added security. The screws are also optimized for use with the composite mounting plate, maximizing holding power. Universal Compatibility: The new mounting plate is designed to be compatible with all existing AppDynamics physical sensors, so there’s no need to worry about compatibility issues. It seamlessly integrates into existing deployments and simplifies future upgrades. Easy Installation: We know your IT teams are busy. That's why we designed the mounting plate for quick and easy installation. It requires no special tools or training, and the clear instructions make the process straightforward. Beyond the Hardware: AppDynamics’ Commitment to Full-Stack Observability This upgraded mounting solution is just one piece of AppDynamics’ broader commitment to delivering comprehensive full-stack observability. Our platform goes far beyond simply monitoring infrastructure. We provide: Application Performance Monitoring (APM): Pinpoint performance bottlenecks in your applications, from the front-end user experience to the back-end database queries. Infrastructure Monitoring: Gain deep visibility into the health and performance of your servers, networks, and storage systems. Business Transaction Management: Tie application performance directly to key business metrics, so you can understand the impact of performance issues on revenue and customer satisfaction. Real User Monitoring (RUM): Understand how real users are experiencing your applications, identify performance issues that impact user engagement, and optimize the user experience. AI-Powered Insights: Let our AI engine automatically detect anomalies, identify root causes, and provide actionable recommendations to improve performance. “We’re not just selling monitoring tools; we’re partnering with our customers to help them deliver exceptional digital experiences,” says [Spokesperson Name]. “This new mounting plate is a small but important example of our commitment to providing the most reliable and robust observability platform on the market.” Availability The new mounting plate and screw kit are available immediately as a standard component in all new AppDynamics physical sensor deployments. Existing customers can request a kit through their AppDynamics account representative.
