Going back to 1970s,  typewriter was used for some form of office automation. This was followed by other technologies, and later the PC era helped improve communication between users to a great extent. Some of these software improvements were also called groupware as they helped collaboration and quicker decision making, which in turn  helped improve the bottomline. These collaborative capabilities were achieved, not only because Enterprise Applications matured in its capability, but also because Enterprise IT was able to deliver it, when needed. This hence elevated the contribution of IT to the business.

Over the last decade or so, IT Management too has evolved. From merely monitoring the network and servers to application monitoring, to end user experience monitoring and fault management to performance management to Business Services Management.

Similarly early this year, the integration of ManageEngine Applications Manager and ManageEngine OpManager via the Network Monitoring connector would help IT Teams to have a better perspective of  the servers, databases, application servers and the Network.

With this integrated Integrated Server, Application and Network Monitoring ManageEngine Applications Manager will provide availability and performance monitoring for applications and databases, while ManageEngine OpManager provides the same for the network. This information is then provided in a single dashboard  for the IT Administrators and Managers to make better informed decisions.

AdventNet ManageEngine is an official Technology Partner with the Open Source Application Server GlassFish, an initiative started by Sun in 2005. Applications Manager ability to support heterogeneous applications and servers and GlassFish’s popularity makes it even more sense to support it.

What does it mean to you?

Applications Manager 8.3 was supporting GlassFish server out-of-the-box even before becoming technology partner. Users who have been using GlassFish server in the past can now use Applications Manager and monitor GlassFish application server and harness its full power. The combined power of open source tool and our powerful monitoring tool, will allow our users to run their mission-critical applications without any real fear of their application server going down.
