ManageEngine flexes data centre management

ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, has announced a series of product updates at VMworld® 2013 to help data centre and IT management teams defy the cost and complexity conventions that have defined data centre management.

Applications Manager, OpManager, Password Manager Pro and Site24x7 have received key upgrades designed to streamline and simplify the management of applications, physical and virtual infrastructure, security, and cloud environments. ManageEngine has also unveiled the latest advances in its data centre and IT management tools, at booth 2410, VMworld 2013.

ManageEngine News at VMworld 2013
At this year’s VMworld, ManageEngine is demonstrating the latest upgrades to Applications Manager, its application performance monitoring solution; OpManager, its network performance management software; Password Manager Pro, its privileged password management software; and Site24x7, its cloud infrastructure monitoring service.

· Applications Manager now supports automatic mapping of virtual machines to their underlying physical storage arrays, improving IT operations teams’ end-to-end visibility into the performance of virtual resources.
· OpManager gains real-time, layer 2 topology maps and a layer 2 discovery option that automatically discovers all network devices including routers, switches, physical servers, storage devices and virtual devices.
· Password Manager Pro now allows administrators to manage privileged passwords and also remotely access IT resources in the data centre via secure, one-click connection — regardless of how many intermediate hops are needed to reach the remote resource.
· Site24x7 adds support for VMware vSphere as well as Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS web services, enabling companies to monitor public and hybrid cloud environments as well as their private cloud infrastructure.

Technology continues to drive business innovation. Today, much of the business-to-customer interaction is Internet-based and automated by technology, from online marketing to customer acquisition, transaction processing and beyond. In turn, data centre management is playing a critical role in a growing number of organisations seeking effective, affordable tools for managing the availability, performance and security of their computing infrastructures.

“The theme of the 10th annual VMworld is for companies to defy convention and radically streamline their data centre and virtualisation infrastructure,” said Raj Sabhlok, president of ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corp. “When IT management gets too complicated or too costly, IT services can suffer. That’s true in the data centre and throughout the enterprise, so we engineer our software to set the price/performance standard in IT management. Our latest round of upgrades is no exception and gives companies of every size and budget the solutions they need to optimise their data centre and enterprise IT environments.”
