Today’s enterprise IT strategies are no longer driven from the top down, heavily influenced by large vendors such as HP, IBM, CA and Microsoft. Instead, CIOs formulate strategies based on a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to IT management tools and techniques. This approach starts from the bottom up, providing better control and flexibility to the IT admins on the front lines. The shift in strategic thinking is being made possible by a new generation of IT management solutions that can be rapidly procured and deployed and easily operated by IT admins at the department level yet efficiently scale across the enterprise to meet IT managers’ demands for unified IT management.
“For a lot of large enterprise IT departments, the DIY model of IT management tools and techniques works because it puts the IT team in charge,” said Dev Anand, director of product management at ManageEngine. “With DIY, you’re not waiting for a battalion of consultants to turn up just to get your software up and running. OpManager Large Enterprise Edition is our response to the rise of DIY. This edition scales our proven, trusted infrastructure management solution to support the largest of enterprises.”
OpManager Sets New Enterprise Standard
OpManager has over 10,000 small and medium enterprise customers and over 200 large enterprise customers. For those enterprise customers, nine out of every ten purchase OpManager to replace a competing offering from HP, IBM, CA or Microsoft. The OpManager Large Enterprise Edition builds on the solution’s growing appeal with larger organisations.
With the launch of the Large Enterprise Edition, OpManager gains an ultrafast discovery engine that discovers 15,000 interfaces or 5,000 devices in a minute. Large enterprises and service providers can start monitoring their IT with OpManager in just a couple of hours instead of days.
OpManager Large Enterprise Edition also introduces a new, high-performance UI powered by ember.js. The UI supports keyboard shortcuts to accelerate navigation across thousands of alarms and performance graphs as IT teams work to understand the issue and identify where the exact fault is. OpManager features IT workflow automation to automate L1/L2 troubleshooting activities and repeated IT tasks.
Along with the other OpManager editions, OpManager Large Enterprise Edition differentiates from legacy solutions by adopting the do-it-yourself model favoured by IT admins running modern data centres. From acquiring and installing the product to running network discovery and adding performance monitors, OpManager provides a very simple approach that most admins can easily follow without any training and consultation.
The majority of large enterprises and service providers are using multiple solutions to manage their networks or data centres. All OpManager editions offer a REST API for accessing OpManager’s data and integrating with other IT management tools.
