Data Center Monitoring Trends
Mixed Environment Support
86% of large organizations have Unix or Linux45% of critical applications run on Linux
Service Level Availability
82% of companies already tracking internal SLAsApplication complexity increasing with SOA adoption >80% of all critical Apps by 2010
Organizations moving away from Break and Fix60% of all critical outages caused by inappropriate config changes
Outage Avoidance
Monitoring The Data Center EnvironmentMonitoring must extend tothe complete server environment
Monitoring of performance, health and configurationCentralized monitoring across server operating systemsVirtual servers require same level of management as physical
Application and service level requirements are increasing
Data center applications are often mission criticalOverall performance driven by multiple components, often spread across platforms and hardware
Multiple environments and monitoring tools
Monitoring data must be shared across tools for consolidated view of performanceComplex and heterogeneous data center environment to monitor
Service Level Impact

Proactive Platform Monitoring
Centralized monitoring of Windows, Unix and Linux on both physical and virtual serversIdentify when unintended configuration changes occurAccess availability, performance, and configuration monitoring to proactively address issuesBuilt in knowledge and best practices reduces effort and internal cost to monitor data center environmentMonitor across physical and virtual environments
“I can provide our system administrators with more in-depth monitoring and more explicit alerting. We can configure server reports to show downtime warnings, downtime events, and the start time and end time of every occurrence. We can also quickly learn why a server experienced downtime—whether it was a power outage, a hardware or software malfunction, or a server maintenance issue.”- Jerry Phillips, Senior Director of Systems Operations, Clear Channel Communications
Proactive Platform
Monitoring
Challenges Addressed
Configuration Change Monitoring
Monitor and alert on unintended changes made to server configuration settings
Improve systems availability, security, and performance by reducing problems associated with configuration drift
Improve IT’s ability to troubleshoot and enforcing defined configuration baselines
Provide visibility into configuration errors and changes
Leverage Microsoft and third party Configuration Packs
Monitor Across Server Platforms
Support for HP, Dell, IBM and key hardware vendorsNative Cross Platform support for HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and AIXSupport for Windows Hyper-V and VMWare ESX and VI3 Platform monitoring integrated into virtualization management through Physical Resource Optimization (PRO)

Application and Service Level Monitoring
Ensure IT services, applications and servers run smoothlyMeet service levels to ensure optimal uptime and responsiveness
Monitor applications end to end to support end user based service level agreementsDashboards and reports allow faster problem resolution, delivering improved availability and performance
“On the e-commerce side, the greater availability enabled by Operations Manager 2007 service-level monitoring will translate directly into enhanced service to users and increased revenues.”- Rodney Orange, Supervisor, Wintel Server Engineering Team, Carnival
