AUSTIN, TX, July 7, 2010 – ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective network, systems, applications and security management software solutions, today announced a significant upgrade to the company's flagship network management software, ManageEngine OpManager, designed to help IT administrators easily monitor and manage dynamic, virtual enterprise IT environments.
The new capabilities in OpManager are designed to address the IT management challenges presented by the widespread use of virtualization in today’s enterprise networks.
ManageEngine OpManager now leverages native VMware Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to discover, map, monitor and report on VMware host servers and guest instances, even supporting VMotion movement of virtual instances between physical servers. Details of the entire virtualized infrastructure are made immediately accessible from the OpManager dashboard and summarized in views, such as "Top VMs," "Top Hosts," "All Devices" and "Alarms," highlighting problem servers that require attention.
OpManager now also provides in-depth performance information through the use of more than 70 deep VMware monitors, with all data collected being stored and available in any one of the many out-of-the-box reports.
Additionally, OpManager now also automatically generates network maps that show Layer 2 and Layer 3 device connectivity, along with device and interface availability details. Once administrators provide the seed device and select the preferred frequency, auto-mapping begins, with results also exportable to Microsoft Visio. The maps faithfully reproduce the topology, status and health of the network, enabling administrators to quickly drill down on pain points to begin troubleshooting.
"With the new ability within OpManager to monitor our VMware ESXi hosts, we now have a quick portal to check in on our virtual machines/hosts and our physical servers as well, from one simple interface," said Ryon Brubaker, Information Systems Manager at Kemba Credit Union Inc. "To be able to glance at the CPU/Memory/Disk usage/etc. saves time and the fact that we can create email alerts helps us maintain continuous service. With this latest feature and other products such as ServiceDesk Plus and Desktop Central, ManageEngine has provided us with all the tools we need to properly administer the computer (software/hardware) infrastructure of our credit union."
"Virtualization has enabled quick provisioning of servers, application consolidation, automatic movement of virtual servers between physical servers based on resource utilization, and many other powerful capabilities," said Shanmugham Krishnamurthy, product manager of ManageEngine OpManager. "The network is getting all the more dynamic and the new VMware API integration and automatic layer 2/3 mapping ensures that OpManager always presents the most up-to-date picture of the network."
Key feature additions found in the new version of OpManager include:
