Boundary's APM solution, also called Boundary, is delivered in a software as a service (SaaS) model.[1] Boundary's APM software can monitor applications that are running in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments.[2][3] The software displays data as a real-time visual map so that IT managers can see changes to their systems.[4] The application runs on Windows and Linux operating systems.[5] Boundary was acquired by BMC Software in 2015.[6]
