As organizations are looking to be more proactive when managing network and application performance, they are increasingly realizing the need to start gaining visibility into performance-related issues before conducting new technology rollouts. Additionally, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned about the impact that their WAN optimization and virtualization initiatives are having on the ability to achieve full visibility into network and application performance. Both of these technology initiatives are causing new sets of challenges for visibility into network and application performance.

Aberdeen's research also shows that the top business pressures driving the adoption of application performance management solutions are:

• The need to mitigate disruption of business processes (68% of all organizations that participated in the survey)
• The need to optimize networking spend (46%)
• The need to improve employee productivity (32%)
