Why do I need AppMetrics if I already have Application Center 2000?
The main purpose of Application Center Server is for the deployment and maintenance of applications built on IIS and COM+. This includes setting up clusters of machines onto which Application Center Server can deploy content and configure load balancing for such applications. Application Center Server has a module in it called “Health Monitor” which was developed by Xtremesoft under contract for Microsoft. Health Monitor collects performance information from a variety of sources, one of which is COM+. Health Monitor collects data on an COM+ Application-wide basis (e.g. total aborted transactions, total committed, etc.). AppMetrics, on the other hand, lets you monitor on an individual-transaction basis (i.e. by each component within the COM+ Application, and in some cases provides detail down to a method-invoked level).
