Cedexis, the company behind the Openmix load balancing service, is drilling down into customers’ infrastructure with Cedexis Fusion, an API that integrates with popular New Relic and AppDynamics application performance software. That integration gives Cedexis a deeper look into how customers’ servers and applications are running. It also ties into Akamai, Level3, Edgecast and ChinaCache content delivery networks (CDNs) and SoftLayer’s server management data.
Big companies — and Cedexis’s customers include EuroDisney, Hermes and Nissan — need to make sure their e-commerce sites run smoothly, that pages load fast, that content gets delivered optimally around the globe. A service that can quickly flag when an application or server is approaching overutilization and automatically redeploy would be a very valuable. The new data from inside customer shops augments data Cedexis already gleans from Radar, a crowdsourced service that collects data about cloud and CDN performance around the world.
“Fusion Radar collects data from outside all the various clouds … [and] Fusion gives us the inside-out view that you’d normally get from a server vendor or monitoring provider,” Cedexis CMO Rob Malnati said in an interview. The company said Fusion can also tap into Catchpoint, Keynote and Gomez to detect slowing e-commerce processes and sniff out cloud outages early, using data from Amazon, Rackspace, SoftLayer and other cloud service providers.
If it works as advertised, Fusion could help alleviate operational headaches for enterprise customers.
