“We have the capability to model and predict how app performance impacts revenue, churn, and engagement,” Andrew Levy and Robert Kwok, co-founders of Aptelgient, wrote in a letter to customers. “Apteligent’s focus on data insights and actionable, intelligent recommendations accelerates digital transformation for the enterprise.”
VMware plans to add Apteligent to its portfolio of management and monitoring technologies .
“We will work to leverage and integrate Apteligent’s innovative technologies within our digital workspace platform to help enterprise developers with end-to-end performance management, user behavior analytics and business insights,” Sumit Dhawan, VMware End-User Computing SVP and general manager of desktop products and solutions, wrote in a blog post.
The acquisition of Apteligent follows other recent VMware moves in the same space. On April 12, VMware announced the acquisition of Wavefront, which provides real-time monitoring analytics for cloud applications. In June 2016, VMware acquired Arkin providing additional insight into the network behavior of applications.
