GEC NEWS WIRECloud Infrastructure Monitoring Service Helps Troubleshoot VMware vSphere Hypervisors and Amazon EC2, RDS Web Services
Site24x7 announced the launch of monitoring support for hybrid and public cloud environments. Available immediately, the new capabilities let users monitor VMware vSphere hypervisors as well as Amazon EC2 and RDS web services. The move lets users optimize the uptime and performance of their private, public and hybrid cloud environments from a central Site24x7 console.
“Last quarter, Site24x7 pushed the envelope by delivering a combination of application performance and infrastructure monitoring,” said Gibu Mathew, Director of Product Management, Site24x7. “With this release, we’re pushing the envelope even further by extending our monitoring capabilities to include all cloud environments. Our support for VMware infrastructure and Amazon services are compelling additions to the existing portfolio of cloud services we provide to help enterprise IT.”
Public cloud services from Amazon let companies run their own applications and services on computing resources externally hosted by Amazon. Constantly monitoring these cloud-hosted applications ensures they perform at expected levels and ensures cloud resources are being effectively utilized. Similarly, highly virtualized infrastructure requires constant monitoring to optimize uptime and performance.
Site24x7 now provides insight into the performance of cloud environments based on VMware and Amazon, so IT teams can troubleshoot and resolve problems before end users are affected. Users can plan capacity and make informed decisions when allocating Amazon EC2 and RDS resources. Site24x7 offers a single console for monitoring physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure as well as the applications hosted by cloud resources inside and outside the corporate data center.
Site24x7 hybrid and public cloud monitoring is available immediately and can be purchased by Enterprise Edition users. Amazon EC2 or RDS support is priced at $1 per instance per month, and VMware monitoring is priced at $1 per VM.
