AVIcode Releases New Version of Operations Manager
2007 Management Pack
Management Pack Further Extends Operations Manager
Capabilities with Expanded Monitored Resources, Improved
User Interaction, and Enhanced Reporting Capabilities
BALTIMORE, Maryland, 07/19/2007 –
AVIcode, Inc. today announced the release of version 4.1
of its .NET Management Pack for Microsoft System Center
Operations Manager 2007. The newest version of the
Management Pack offers upgraded functionality that
expands monitoring support, and improves ease of use and
reporting capabilities within Operations Manager 2007.
AVIcode’s .NET Management Pack concurrently monitors
for both application failures and performance
bottlenecks. It leverages the technology behind
AVIcode’s cornerstone monitoring solution, Intercept
Studio, to deliver a comprehensive view of application
health by providing a per application and system-level
view of key performance metrics, while also correlating
performance counter data with application behavior.
One of the new features of the .NET Management Pack
for Operations Manager 2007 is its ability to
auto-discover distributed application architecture. This
allows Operations Manager 2007 users to easily begin
monitoring all of the components of complex
applications. Combining Operations Manager 2007
functionality with the .NET Management Pack’s
auto-discovery feature, users now have the ability to
monitor all of the critical aspects of a system,
including application components, hardware like IIS
servers, database connectivity and corresponding system
metrics like CPU usage.
“The newest features of the .NET Management Pack
extend Operations Manager 2007, making it the most
complete system monitoring solution available,” says
Alex Zakonov, AVIcode’s Chief Architect and co-founder.
“We are pleased to continue offering best-of-breed
monitoring technology and to continue growing and
strengthening our relationship with Microsoft.”
With the .NET Management Pack, Operations Manager
2007 users are automatically notified when an
application problem occurs and are provided a complete
root cause diagnosis. This real-time notification and
diagnosis ensures appropriate problem triage, improved
problem resolution, and optimal application availability
and reliability.
The latest version of the .NET Management Pack for
Operations Manager includes these enhancements:
• Expanded Monitored Resource Support –
the .NET Management Pack now monitors Windows
Services, Windows EXE and COM+ applications. This
enables end-to-end monitoring of complex distributed
applications, from transactional components on the
back-end to WinForms front-end applications.
• Security and Connectivity Monitoring – the
.NET Management Pack extends availability and
performance monitoring to include security and
connectivity monitoring. This allows for the
detection of mis-configured connectivity between
applications and SQL Server or Web Services, and for
the detection of security failures due to
insufficient rights to requested resources. With
this information, Operations teams are better
equipped to resolve these issues without relying on
support personnel.
• Application Topology View – the .NET
Management Pack now provides a graphical topology
that displays the dependency between components of a
distributed application. This enables better
understanding and assessment of infrastructure
changes on deployed applications.
• Resource Utilization Correlation – the .NET
Management Pack offers the ability to correlate
resource utilization, like CPU, Memory, and I/O with
application load and performance. This provides an
application-focused perspective on resource
utilization and enables proactive capacity planning
and application performance tuning.
• Enterprise Reports – the .NET Management
Pack now provides enterprise-class reports that show
the most critical SQL, WCF, .NET Remoting, and other
resource calls for optimization prioritization. The
.NET Management Pack also has the ability to report
on trends and compare key process and application
performance indicators.
Pricing and Availability
The 4.1 version of the .NET Management Pack for
Operations Manager 2007 is generally available. Pricing
is on a per monitored computer basis. For pricing
