AppDynamics On-Premises Virtual Appliance (Self-Hosted)

Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises Virtual Appliance, referred to as the Virtual Appliance is a pre-packaged, self-contained application monitoring solution based on the modern Kubernetes architecture. This deployment provides the self-hosted flexibility that allows you to comply with the data residency and protection requirements of your organisation. This appliance is optimized for easy setup on virtualization platforms, providing the same extensive monitoring capabilities as the Splunk AppDynamics On-Premises solution. In addition, it provides features such as AI-powered anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and the security features provided by Cisco Secure Application.  You can maximize the application performance, reduce the operational overhead, and maintain control over your environment using the Virtual Appliance. This solution ensures a strong, manageable, and regulation-conforming application environment.
