"As Trek began contemplating relaunching its consumer-facing website and migrating to the cloud, they wanted to move from legacy monitoring tools to a sophisticated solution that could aggregate data, do real-time reporting, send and receive alerts, evaluate application performance, and more.

The DevOps team at trekbikes.com deployed New Relic APM as the company prepared to migrate its consumer-facing website to the SAP Hybris e-commerce platform and its data center operations to the cloud using Microsoft Azure. Explains Trek Web Technologies Manager Jason Endres, 'With our older, more traditional monitoring tools, we knew if an application was unhealthy, but we had nothing to point us to where precisely in the application the problem was occurring.
