APCTM is an automated performance measurement and analysis platform that empowers application engineers and performance analysts to dramatically increase the scope of applications tuning opportunities they can address by reducing the significant time investment required by manual procedures. It automates the targetting, measuring, reporting and analyzing of application jobsteps or online regions.  APC also “learns” application behaviour and automatically detects applications that run outside their normal thresholds.  This produces greater resource savings and frees up IT staff for other important tasks. Two versions are available – APC for TriTune® and APC for STROBE® (Compuware).

TriTune is an internationally registered trademark of Trilog Holding AG. STROBE is a registered trademark of Compuware Corporation.
