The challenge in the past has been knowing where to begin with an SLM implementation. SLM tools have matured, however, to offer IT staffs the breadth and depth they need to effectively measure and analyze application and system performance. From this data, IT staffs can confidently negotiate service level agreements (SLAs) with end users. This white paper focuses on the business reasons to institute SLAs, the major tasks related to measuring mission-critical applications to obtain performance metrics, and how ProactiveNet software supports service level management tasks. It discusses: * getting started with an SLM implementation * software implementation-transaction monitoring and management * reporting and communications implementation * SLM with ProactiveNet's solution http://www.fattail.com/redir/redirect.asp?CID=89321 _______________________________________________________________ SSH Communications Often imitated, never duplicated...
