FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Observer Infrastructure Expands Visibility into Complex Cloud and Application Environments MiINNEAPOLIS, MN – August 30, 2011 – Network Instruments, a worldwide leader in network and application performance monitoring, today announced its infrastructure monitoring solution Observer Infrastructure (OI) now provides visibility into public and private cloud components and in-depth tracking of cloud provider performance. The newest version of OI provides insight into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) performance for major providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google App Engine, Rackspace, GoGrid, and Hosting.com, by utilising cloud vendor APIs and CloudKick. Critical cloud service performance metrics including CPU, disk activity, user experience, and memory can be viewed within the context of overall IT operations to validate performance of cloud investments. Using the Observer platform, teams can seamlessly view cloud health alongside internal network, application, and infrastructure performance to quickly isolate and resolve the source of performance problems. “As operations teams outsource services to the cloud, they often sacrifice visibility to successfully manage performance,” said Jim Frey, managing research director of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). “Solutions like Network Instruments OI play a critical role in ensuring IT teams have an end-to-end view of service delivery and can proactively identify performance problems before they impact users.” Tracking Private Cloud “To make sense of the many Vblock or FlexPod devices and constructs, OI provides the ability to auto-discover, group and manage all virtual and physical components in a single dashboard view,” said Brad Reinboldt, senior product manager of Network Instruments. “Based upon the alarm or potential issue, IT managers can then quickly navigate to the problem component.” Managing Multi-Tiered Environments Additional Polling Sources About Network Instruments |
