The Definitive Guide to Monitoring the Data Center, Virtual Environments, and the Cloud

Description:

It's only recently that businesses have started focusing on modern application performance management techniques, and along comes cloud computing and other "hybrid IT" elements (such as Software as a Service) to make application performance even more complicated.

In this book by business technology writer and analyst Don Jones, you'll see how application performance management techniques need to evolve to accommodate hybrid IT. Learn about emerging techniques and technologies, and develop a "shopping list" of capabilities that your IT environment will need in order to survive in the Hybrid Age.

Chapter List:

Chapter 1 - Evolving IT: Data Centers, Software as a Service, Hosted Solutions, Virtualization, and Clouds
Chapter 2 - Traditional IT Monitoring, and Why it No Longer Works
Chapter 3 - The Customer is King: Monitoring the End User Experience
Chapter 4 - Success is in the Details: Monitoring at the Component Level
Chapter 5 - The Capabilities You Need to Monitor IT From the Datacenter into the Cloud
Chapter 6 - IT Health: Management Reporting as a Service

The eBook is 119 pages long and a really good read. I hope you find this useful.

Thanks, that sounds like a great ebook. Is the ebook is really available for free? Most free ebooks on the net have less than 50 pages. What is the catch?

Well they ask you for email address and phone number, etc but I got away with some fake info and so far the book is really good!

Oh that is great I love Ebooks. It so kind of you to spread information that we all can use. What site did you get this from and do they have other resource EBooks for free?

That's a great e-book! It looks like they thought of everything that we could possibly need to know. I love "The Cloud" and finding ways to save everything to it. It sure helps to save space on your computer!
