In the meeting with Cameron Van Orman this week,
they talked about upcoming enhancements in APM 9.1
The interesting changes include,
Dynamic Instrumentation for .Net (Hooray!)
Agent deny (do that now with SSL keys)
Super-MOM (known as Cross-Cluster Viewer).

Also great enhancements to CEM including
faster TIM using the MultiPort Collector.

We attended the CA Partner Presentation this week from Cameron van Orman, Vice President, Partners & Alliances, Service Assurance Customer Solutions unit.

Cameron and Shay Mowlem talked about the 2012 Roadmap for Service Assurance.  The most interesting part of the presentation was the unveiling of Catalyst, the CA name for the integration of the various products in the Service Assurance into one.  One imminent announcement revolves around APM “Trinidad”, the infrastructure-aware application triage upgrade of Introscope.  Sounds really cool, hope in the upcoming webcast they shed more light on it!
