ManageEngine network management platform for large enterprises, enhances scalability, maintains ease-of-use and low cost

* Scales to monitor 50 000 interfaces or 5 000 servers from a single console.
* Integrates network and server monitoring, virtualisation support, NetFlow analysis, network change and configuration management and more.

Johannesburg, 13 Jul 2011

ITR Technology, sub-Sahara Africa partner of ManageEngine, maker of a globally-renowned suite of cost-effective network, systems and security management software solutions, today announced OpManager Enterprise Edition, a new version of the company's flagship network server and IT infrastructure management software platform.

The new version features enterprise-level capabilities and a distributed architecture supporting the monitoring of more than 50 000 interfaces or 5 000 servers through a single management console.

“We are excited about the release of the Enterprise Edition of OpManager in the South African market. Our large enterprise customers can now benefit from yet another cost-effective solution from ManageEngine,” said Abri van Tonder, Managing Director of ITR Technology.

He continued, saying there is an existing demand for this edition with high scalability, and that the market realised the value of the ManageEngine solutions as well as the cost-effectiveness.

“The new OpManager Enterprise Edition is designed around a probe and central server architecture, which allows it to scale to meet the network monitoring and management needs of large enterprises. The new architecture allows administrators to gain visibility across remote locations, as well as consolidate and report on network and server health from a central location,” Van Tonder added.

"We want to make OpManager more scalable, reliable, and usable so that it can handle the large enterprise IT management needs. The new enterprise edition delivers greater scalability with a max of 10 000 interfaces on each probe and 50 000 interfaces on the central server," said Dev Anand, product manager, Network Performance Management Solutions.

"ManageEngine OpManager is fast becoming a low-cost but high-quality alternative across many large enterprises. In most cases we replace tools that are unnecessarily complicated and way too expensive for what they do. Smart and cost-conscious IT managers figure it out real quick that OpManager can do 90% of what their existing software can do, at a cost that's less than the renewal cost of these well-marketed tools."

Other highlights of the new OpManager Enterprise Edition include:

* A secure and robust communication between the central and the remote probe servers through XML over HTTPS/HTTP connection.

* One hundred percent data integrity, even in the event of a connection loss between the central and probe servers, by using local database support.

* A centralised console to visualise performance bottlenecks across an entire IT infrastructure, and/or for a specific remote site.

* Reduced application maintenance cost with intelligent probe upgrades from the central server.

* Ability to scale the network monitoring needs as the company grows by switching a standalone instance of OpManager to a remote probe on the fly.

* Eliminates feature catch-ups. Always in-sync with the features, functions and upgrades offered by OpManager standalone versions.

Availability:
ManageEngine OpManager Enterprise Edition is available as a downloadable file for both Windows and Linux platforms.
