Here are some stats that will blow your mind: Every minute of every day, 48 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube, Google receives over 2 million queries, over 100,000 tweets are sent and nearly 600 new websites are created. Perhaps most shocking is that quietly in the background, all of this data is tracked and stored. But what happens to it after that?
Obviously, today’s Internet is filled with vast amounts of data. When only a few short years ago a search would yield varied results, today search engines, social networks and even advertisers have realized that information must be culled, filtered and targeted for their consumers. In order to do this, many of these services collect data about you. Whil…
Log Monitoring and Network Operations
Imagine every event occurring in the network/devices is recorded in real time, including the abnormal events. What else would you want? Obviously, a convenient way to scan through this information or capture the relevant ones online. This leads to monitoring the logs and events generated by diverse devices.
Log Monitoring/Analysis is already well known in the security and network management space. It is now beginning to gain prominence in the network operations space [Ack.: EMA Research]. The fact that every granular event is logged in real time means that you will find granular information at the device level and even at the session level. One of the advantages is, root cause analysis for certain situati…
Why You Need to Integrate IT Operations and IT Service Management
In a previous article, I wrote about the need for application-aware network performance management (AA-NPM) tools. With tools that can manage the entire range of infrastructure and applications, we can manage the delivery of services more effectively and responsively — which is better for an organization, better for IT, better for everyone.
But the need for integration does not stop there. When you think about it, we’re not just focusing on application and network performance solely for the sake of performance (though the nerd in each of us may think so). In today’s business environment, we’re focusing on performance because IT has become a service — and ultimately, we are the ones in charge of t…
ManageEngine IT360 integrates further
Well, imagine you have a monitoring tool that has the capability to monitor network devices, servers, applications, databases, bandwidth monitoring along with an ITIL Help Desk. Something is still missing here, right? What if you had a host of storage devices from different vendors that you want to monitor as with any other device and servers? And, you get this storage device monitoring as a part of the tool!
Yes, this is the integration between ManageEngine IT360 and ManageEngine OpStor.
You are already aware that ManageEngine IT360 is an integrated solution for monitoring your network devices, servers, applications, databases, Virtual environments, bandwidth monitoring. In addition, it has an inte…

5 Ways MSPs Can Maximize Their ROI and Profit
I had an opportunity to look at a few industry surveys that were designed to analyze the Managed Service Provider (MSP) market. One of the healthy trends I noticed was the increase in the market size over the last couple of years. With the uncertainty of the economy looming over the world, more and more enterprises from non-IT domain will look at MSPs to outsource their IT management work, so that they can concentrate on the tough task of saving and propelling their core business while MSPs take care of their IT.
MSPs face tough competition in pricing, which reduces their profit margins. Apart from this, they also have the daunting task of keeping their client’s IT running with five-9 figures of availability! Oh…
Change Control Automation & Better Management of Network Assets
In IT infrastructure management, integration of tools/software with one another has always been a crucial requirement. In Network Change and Configuration Management (NCCM), which predominantly deals with change control, such integration becomes all the more essential as network configuration data lies at the core of enterprise network administration. However, due to the inherent incompatibility issues among tools, the integration goal is fraught with too many roadblocks. DeviceExpert now breaks all the barriers in integration efforts through its REST APIs. Any third-party application or software can integrate with DeviceExpert directly and add, access and extract dat…
Time to move away from the old. Here’s a new version of IT360 to look for!
I thought about it a few times before going ahead with this heading. I’m writing this blog post because I realized that with the number of features we are adding to IT360 it’s easy to lose track.
Thankfully our customers have been instrumental in steering these enhancements into the product. Looking back I remember posting a blog post in May regarding the release of version 9.0.5 and today we are on version 9.0.7! Yes, we released this version a week ago.
So let’s see what the product looks like currently. Looks-wise, it’s still the same but we are working on a new design keeping the user-experience aspect of the product in mind. So stay tuned as you are up for a surprise in a few months’ time.
Coming back to t…
