Companies relying on HP-UX servers can now improve the availability and performance of their critical applications and business services using the new dedicated HP-UX agents of VISUAL Message Center, Tango/04Æs IT operations monitoring and business service management solution.
Tango/04 Computing Group, a leading developer of software solutions for systems management, security auditing, operations monitoring and business service management (BSM), has released a set of new HP-UX agents. With these new agents, VISUAL Message Center can monitor and manage the availability and performance of business services that include Hewlett Packard's flavor of the UNIX operating system as part of the underlying infrastructure.
With the addition of these new monitors, VISUAL Message Center now helps IT departments manage all major UNIX systems, as these new HP-UX agents complement the already existing range of AIX, Sun Solaris, Linux and other VISUAL Message Center Agents. Enterprises with multiplatform infrastructures comprising any combination of Windows, iSeries, Linux and UNIX servers can benefit from the extreme ease of use and powerful systems, operations, service level and business service management functionalities of VISUAL Message Center, the company says.
"IT infrastructures supporting critical business services are getting more and more heterogeneous and complex. IT departments need desperately to simplify management by monitoring every component, server, application and device from a single console," says Ra·l Cristißn Aguirre, CEO of Tango/04 Computing Group. "What distinguishes VISUAL Message Center is the fact that monitoring can be done either at the component level or at the application level. So it is easy to know the real impact of a problem, the root causes of a failure, and to ensure the integrity, availability, and optimal performance of business processes."
VISUAL Message CenterÆs SmartConsole consolidates events from the entire IT infrastructure, including HP-UX servers, arranging them according to custom business process models, and presenting them graphically in dashboards for IT operators or high-level Enterprise Views for business managers. It can even be accessed from anywhere, through the Web, using the WebSmartConsole.
The new Tango/04 HP-UX Agents include the following groups of monitors:
- FileSystem Usage
- Process Information
- CPU Abuser
- CPU Usage
- Physical Memory Usage
- Load Average
- Number of Processes
- Virtual Memory Statistics
Furthermore, VISUAL Message Center offers other UNIX agents and monitors that can complement the new HP-UX Agents, including the Syslog agent, the Network Services Monitors (POP3, SMTP, SNMP, FTP, and more), the Web Applications Monitors (HTTP, Web transactions, and more), the Applications Agent (a universal, multi-format log analyzer), and more.
CIOs with HP-UX systems in their IT infrastructure will be able to take full advantage of VISUAL Message CenterÆs powerful BSM and Service Level Management capabilities, allowing them to simplify the management of their multiplatform infrastructure, align it with business priorities, comply with ever-more demanding Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and demonstrate to management that they are fully in control.
