DETROIT, Feb. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced a live webcast featuring Forrester Research, Inc. that will highlight the crucial role modern application performance management (APM) plays in taming the complexity of big data deployments.

Title:               "Productionizing Big Data -- Taming the Complexity"

When:             Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Time:              12 p.m. Eastern time

Presenters:     Mike Gualtieri, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research

Why:               This year, 2013, is when big data starts to move from experimentation to real production environments. While big data promises exponential benefits, it greatly increases IT complexity. IT needs quick and deep visibility into big data applications and insight into all the complex transactional relationships and infrastructure dependencies that impact performance.  

What:             During this free webcast, attendees will learn:

• Forrester's view on how big data is embraced and productionized by IT -- across the full data/analytics lifecycle;
• how to tame the complexity to ensure a well-running and scalable big data environment;
• about APM's critical role in successfully deploying big data in production;
• how to gain deep visibility into your big data applications and transactions with modern APM; and
• how to quickly get to the root cause of performance issues, whether they reside in the data, the application or the infrastructure.
