BlueStripe Software announced
the first availability of application-aware performance monitoring that combines
service-level alerting with System Center Operations Manager health monitors.
Building on BlueStripe's ability to define dynamic distributed application maps in Microsoft System
Center 2012, the new release enables users to drive health monitor status
based on FactFinder's service level alerts on the overall application, each
application tier, and each component on application tiers - all within System
Center Operations Manager application maps.
FactFinder
dynamically defines and maintains distributed applications in System Center
Operations Manager. In addition to dynamic maps, FactFinder also sends service
level alerts directly to Operations Manager and automatically rolls up those
alerts with existing System Center health monitors for the different components
and servers in each distributed application. The result is a single view to the
health of the overall application, to each tier of the application, and even
down to the individual components that make up each application tier.
The
combined System Center + BlueStripe solution provides IT Operations teams with a
single point from which to monitor the performance of all the applications and
systems they must maintain. Users immediately know how applications are
performing, and can also see immediately how issues with individual servers may
impact particular business services. Additionally, users can launch BlueStripe
FactFinder directly from the Operations Manager Console to perform deeper triage
and application and transaction performance analysis.
"System
Center users understand the value of being able to see in a single view how
critical applications are performing, and how each infrastructure component in
those applications impacts application performance," said Chris Neal, CEO and
co-founder of BlueStripe software. "BlueStripe FactFinder brings
application-aware infrastructure performance monitoring to System Center users
for the first time."
Application-aware
infrastructure performance monitoring shows IT Operations teams all the
applications any individual server supports. By placing all pertinent health and
performance information in a single screen within Operations Manager, the System
Center + BlueStripe integrated solution provides IT Operations a single view for
end-to-end distributed application monitoring. With this single view, IT
Operations can understand how a single component in the data center or the Azure
cloud impacts overall application health and service delivery.
A
member of the System Center Alliance, BlueStripe has delivered integrated
solutions with Microsoft System Center 2007 R2 and System Center 2012 for
several years. While each solution can stand alone, together FactFinder and
System Center make a powerful combination for IT Operations teams of all
sizes.
