Links that I have found interesting for December 9th:
- Knoa Software Receives Positive Review in Butler Group Technology Audit – Knoa, the leading provider of end-user experience and performance management software, today announced the results of a technology audit, conducted by Butler Group evaluating Knoa's flagship product, Experience and Performance Manager (Knoa EPM). In this independent, objective evaluation Knoa's capabilities for end-user monitoring and performance management were found to be innovative, pioneering and mission-critical.
- One brand new product and two major enhancements to the BSM stack – Vienna HP Software Universe 2008 – HP Operations Manager i (Part of HP Operations Center) is our next-generation consolidated event and performance management product following on from HP Operations Manager.
Internally, we call it OMi. Three keys about OMi…
* You can take events from anywhere into OMi because it sits directly on top of our CMDB which holds business transaction, user experience, application, middleware, and infrastructure information.
* OMi does root event analysis using the discovered service dependency map held in the CMDB. This means that only root events are shown in the console and subsequent events caused by the root event are hidden.
* OMi gives you more than simply an "event stream" view of the world. It can also give you a service health view of the services you are responsible for. The exact make-up of a service's health is up to you – it will obviously include availability and performance, but it can also include the number of open incidents, for example.
