Centreon today rolled out a new release of
Centreon EMS, its flagship, end-to-end IT monitoring platform. The new
release provides ITOps with holistic and contextual insights, through
the integrations needed for today's distributed, on-premise and
multi-cloud - public, private and container - environments.
Centreon's
EMS 19.04 release offers ITOps managing a host of legacy assets but now
contending with increased cloud workloads and growing networks of
connected objects, the integrated visibility needed to ensure end-to-end
performance across diverse IT environments. This expanded functionality
reduces costs and complexity, aggregating data from across the entire
IT infrastructure into a single, holistic view of the various IT
interdependencies impacting critical business performance.
"Digital
strategies leveraging cloud environments are accelerating. In fact,
nine out of ten companies have transitioned part of their IT workloads
to the cloud. There are cloud monitoring tools, but the ability to just
see what's going on inside is not enough," said Marc-Antoine Hostier, CSO of Centreon.
"This
information must be connected and consolidated with what's going on
across the enterprise - its datacenters, virtual machines, containers
and IoT networks. Without this business-aware hybrid visibility, prompt
response to application outages, compliance issues, failing systems or
security threats is difficult. Worse, the performance of IT business
services will be negatively impacted, as time and money are spent
repairing instead of optimizing and innovating."
The
latest release of Centreon EMS also enables IT infrastructure
information to be layered into spatial data that's mapped using
geographical information systems (GIS). Monitored IT infrastructure data
can now be seen in the context of connected physical objects such as
toll equipment, video surveillance, energy wind turbines, manufacturing
belts or logistics hubs to provide more meaningful insights. These
real-time dynamic maps help reduce root cause analysis and resolution
times enabling greater remote management efficiencies and business
performance at the edge.
"As
IoT proliferates and companies grow their ROBO (remote office branch
office) footprint, geographical mapping and visualization are even more
strategic to IT operations, particularly in retail, media and
telecommunications, public services, utilities, supply chain or banking
and insurance," Hostier said. "Centreon
EMS' built-in GeoView capability ensures that our solution evolves with
their needs to help manage and make sense of the interdependencies
between IT and our connected world."
Key benefits delivered by Centreon EMS 19.04
- Monitoring
for infrastructure diversity: integration-ready multi-cloud plugin
packs that accommodate IaaS monitoring e.g. Amazon Cloudwatch, Azure
Monitor, private cloud and virtualization e.g. vCenter, Hyper-V, System
Center VMM, and containers e.g. Prometheus, Kubernetes, Docker, to
indirectly probe, draw data and seamlessly connect with the centralized
availability and performance management system;
- Context-rich GeoViews of IT hosts that can be added using standard protocols to query Mapbox OpenStreetMap or any GIS;
- Enriched
host auto-discovery rules in detecting cloud computing instances and
those for on-premise or legacy systems to enable more agility and
facilitate ITOps and DevOps alignment.
Centreon EMS is
a modular, all-in-one enterprise IT monitoring solution for hybrid,
multi-cloud and physical networks. The solution paves the way for
organizations to innovate, future proof their IT investments and adopt
new technologies for optimal business uptime, by cutting cost and
complexity from ITOps. For more information, click here.
