\"Do<\/a>There are so many complexities associated with infrastructure \u2013\u00a0most developers can\u2019t know them all, and sometimes it seems like they don\u2019t want<\/em> to know. But the truth is that a well-performing application makes it appear as if the infrastructure is invisible, and of course programmers have always wanted to divorce their efforts from any underlying complexity.<\/p>\n

So, I guess it’s easy to understand why application developers might be receptive to the concept of ‘invisible infrastructure’, as suggested by Nutanix (an eG Innovations Technology Partner<\/a>). Converged infrastructure clearly simplifies infrastructure complexities.<\/p>\n

The Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) has also been effective at solving complex problems. Nvidia (another eG Innovations Technology Partner) redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep-learning ignited modern AI \u2014 the next era of computing.<\/p>\n

…good developers know that systems that perform well work in step with the underlying CPU and system powering it.<\/span><\/p>\n

While virtualization and JVM abstraction<\/span> allows development and administration to go ahead without any grave concerns about the underlying system that will be hosting applications, software architects and performance specialists are realizing, now more than ever, that in order to obtain optimal performance<\/span>, a strong understanding of the underlying CPU, hardware and system as a whole is the key to getting applications to run most efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 <\/em>The Server Side:\u00a0Virtualization and JVM abstraction don’t negate CPU and system knowledge<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many developers have learned that by understanding the underlying infrastructure, they can help design and build performance into their applications.<\/p>\n

The illustrations above are a few recent examples of infrastructure domain knowledge that eG Enterprise includes as natively embedded into the monitor. Converged application and infrastructure performance management compliments \u201cinvisible infrastructure\u201d by providing seamless visibility into all aspects of end-to-end IT services.<\/p>\n

eG Enterprise embeds over 180 different applications, 20+ storage devices, 10+ operating systems, and 10+ virtualizations platforms, out of the box. In addition, the monitoring platform allows developers to easily add new monitoring capabilities and build new models for custom applications, which can then be managed in the same manner as other applications and devices.<\/p>\n

This holistic view of the IT service provides both developers and operations staff with:<\/p>\n
