What is so different about PAM?

PAM is not a tool dumped on your desk with a training regime scheduled by the vendor. We understand you are in the business of managing your application not managing a tool and PAM has been designed accordingly. Instead, PAM all-in-one comes to you FREE , and now as a simple, single pass software download of the complete application monitor. PAM still features the 15 accompanying practical, learning based tutorials which means you still get all the detailed learning modules to enable your skills and knowledge to grow. This learning is just as important as the monitor itself as a monitor without knowledge of how to maximise the value of its outputs is of little use.

We believe its all well and good having information provided by your Application monitor, but in reality it's what you do with that information that makes the difference. Through the PAM tutorials, you will learn how to use the information you are obtaining from PAM to improve the day to day efficiency of your OEBS application. As an added feature of PAM version 2, each PAM alert e-mail now cross references you to the relevant PAM tutorial, as well as providing detailed information on the nature of the alert and what to do to obtain more information about the issue.

The PAM tutorials page gives you a great snapshot of the contents of each tutorial as well as access to individual tutorial downloads.

Can I use PAM in non-production environment?

OK, so you have heard about PAM , you’ve read our Legal Notice and Disclaimer and you are debating whether to give PAM a go. Worried about where to start? Well stop worrying, you don’t need to be going near your production environment any time soon....not until you are completely comfortable with what you are doing. One of the best things about PAM is that provided you are using a fresh copy of production, you will still get great outputs you can use to improve your organisation’s OEBS efficiency without going anywhere near production! All you will be missing is the daily activity information but you can get to that later once you are entirely comfortable with PAM .
