The air transport industry has come a long way since "Airplane!" (one of my favorite movies), was introduced in 1980. Back then, according to the International Civilian Aviation Organization, the total number of aircraft hours flown globally by passenger and cargo airlines was about 15 million. By 2010, that metric grew to 58 million. A forecast on Boeing's website projects that the number of aircraft in service will double by 2030.
Networked applications make this growth possible by automating critical processes that we take for granted -- from pricing and selling tickets to ensuring the safety of passengers and bar-coded boxes on journeys with multiple stops through crowded air spaces.
What happens when
one or more of these applications goes down? What happens when application components are chronically slow for reasons that take days to understand? How many people are affected? How much money is wasted?
As you can imagine from thinking about these questions, a tier 1 airport with more than 50 million passengers each year needs a serious application performance management strategy. OPNET and SITA, the global air transport IT solutions specialist, just published a brief case study on how this kind of airport discovered success with APM. Check it out here.
