Case Study: Cepheid achieves proactive SAP monitoring and reduced downtime with AppDynamics

Cepheid gains unprecedented visibility into the performance of all its mission-critical SAP business applications

Cepheid, a Sunnyvale–based leader in molecular diagnostics, needed to ensure continuous uptime and performance of its mission‑critical SAP applications. Reliant on disparate tools and manual, round‑the‑clock monitoring, the IT team remained largely reactive—risking costly disruptions to manufacturing and revenue.

Deploying AppDynamics for SAP gave Cepheid end‑to‑end visibility, automatic dynamic baselining, and proactive real‑time alerts to detect anomalies and isolate root causes before users were impacted. This eliminated hours of manual monitoring, reduced alert noise, sped remediation, and helped the company maintain business continuity and its 99.95% availability target while supporting broader digital transformation.
