ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective network, systems, security, and applications management software solutions, today announced the availability of ManageEngine Applications Manager 10.1 performance monitoring software package which extends monitoring support to VMware vFabric tc Server. More than 10,000 companies already use Applications Manager to monitor their physical, virtual and cloud-based infrastructures. VMware vFabric is the cloud application platform from VMware, and VMware vFabric tc Server is the Tomcat-compatible enterprise application server suited for virtual environments. ManageEngine announced upcoming support for VMware vFabric tc Server at VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas.
As more organizations adopt virtualized and cloud environments, VMware technologies such as the VMware vFabric cloud application platform are becoming more critical and widespread. VMware vFabric tc Server provides the functionality of an Apache Tomcat server within the VMware vFabric platform, making it easy for organizations running Tomcat applications to run them from the vFabric environment. With support for VMware vFabric tc Server in its version 10.1 release, ManageEngine Applications Manager can now effectively manage these additional scenarios.
Applications Manager provides:
- Health and performance monitoring for VMware vFabric tc Server instances
- Health and performance monitoring for Spring applications deployed in those servers
- Troubleshooting insight to reduce downtime and remove performance bottlenecks
- Comprehensive performance stats and in-depth reports
"By extending the proven performance monitoring functionality of Applications Manager to support VMware vFabric tc Server, it becomes that much easier for administrators to ensure that all their servers - physical, virtual and cloud-based - can be monitored and managed optimally through a ‘single pane of glass," said Gibu Mathew, director of product management, applications performance management solutions at ManageEngine. “That’s the best way to achieve optimal results throughout the IT infrastructure."
Tracking the KPIs
ManageEngine Applications Manager tracks multiple key performance indicators (KPIs) of VMware vFabric tc Server, such as throughput, cache, virtual network stats and more. These metrics help IT administrators easily understand how well their VMware vFabric resources are being utilized and helps in capacity planning. It also provides administrators the ability to track compliance with service level agreements and help ensure a superior quality experience to their end users.
"We are excited that ManageEngine's comprehensive approach to business application monitoring now includes support for VMware vFabric tc Server with Applications Manager 10.1," said David McJannet, director, cloud and application services, VMware. "Enterprise users can now efficiently build and run Java Spring applications on VMware vFabric tc Server with the knowledge that ManageEngine Application Manager 10.1 can deliver high application uptime and performance management."
"Virtualization can simplify an organization’s IT infrastructure, and it requires a new approach to infrastructure management," said Raj Sabhlok, president of ManageEngine. “IT organizations need comprehensive, integrated tools to ensure that they can manage the complete corporate infrastructure efficiently, effectively and in real time. Applications Manager 10.1 is one more tool from ManageEngine that provides the real-time IT capabilities that IT organizations need."
