| IT Resource VisualizationLocation analytics is fast becoming one of the most interesting areas of IT innovation. ManageEngine?s Applications Manager has now been integrated with Google Maps to create an interesting implementation of IT Resource Visualization and a great example of IT innovation.IT managers in charge of complex IT infrastructures spread over multiple geographical locations have an obvious problem: How do I keep on top of my network resources to minimize downtime? The challenge for IT infrastructure management application vendors is how to make this task easier. One way is by providing better visualization.
Graphical network visualization has been around for some time but now applications have a new resource to leverage: Google Maps. By layering Google Maps onto existing IT resource management applications, vendors can provide instant visualization capabilities. This is what ManageEngine Applications Manager now offers. By leveraging Google Maps in this way, ManageEngine provides IT managers with an easy way to gain real-time situational awareness over an IT infrastructure that may include: Application, Network and Web Servers; web sites; Java applications; SNMP network devices and popular database management systems. This is a great example of IT innovation at work and something I expect we will see being added to CRM, ERP and other enterprise business management applications to give them a whole new layer of business visualization.
