Catchpoint announced the availability of its Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) suite of solutions on Google Cloud Marketplace, designed to help ensure the performance and resilience of your digital world. This partnership makes the robust capabilities of Catchpoint IPM readily available to the Google Cloud community, providing proactive monitoring of your entire internet stack, including all your Google Cloud services.
One particularly interesting aspect of Catchpoint IPM is its focus on providing unparalleled global visibility into application performance. Unlike conventional Application Performance Management (APM) tools that concentrate on the internal application stack, Catchpoint IPM monitors the entire journey between your applications and your users. This includes BGP, DNS, CDNs, ISPs, and all service delivery pathways within the Google Cloud infrastructure such as compute, API management, data analytics, cloud storage, machine learning, and networking products.
One major problem that Catchpoint IPM can help solve is the difficulty in identifying and isolating performance issues in complex cloud environments. By providing comprehensive visibility into the entire network path, Catchpoint IPM can help organizations pinpoint whether a performance bottleneck stems from network issues, application issues, or problems with the cloud infrastructure. This can lead to faster resolution of performance issues and a better overall user experience.
Another noteworthy feature of Catchpoint IPM is its integration with Google Cloud's global frontend infrastructure. By integrating Catchpoint's IPM capabilities with Google Cloud's global frontend, users can benefit from Catchpoint's expertise to detect and address performance issues proactively, ensuring optimal uptime and service reliability.
Overall, the availability of Catchpoint IPM on Google Cloud Marketplace is a significant development for businesses looking to ensure the performance and resilience of their internet. By providing unparalleled global visibility and robust monitoring capabilities, Catchpoint IPM can help organizations improve user experience, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall performance of their applications and services.
