The industry's most predictable and complete management solution for IT operations built on open source technology, Hyperic HQ is the management platform of choice for customers ranging from Fortune 500 to mid-size enterprises requiring consolidated management of custom applications.
"Open source technology is gaining popularity, but manageability remains a lower priority for most of the development community," said Javier Soltero, CEO of Hyperic. "IT operators want to harness the reliability and cost-effectiveness of open technology, but struggle with application management. Hyperic HQ is the first product to specifically address the needs of customers managing applications they have built themselves, providing inventory, monitoring, control and alerting for technologies that lack a built-in administration console. HQ is easy to install and customize, so that our customers can manage applications within an hour of downloading."
With the transition from packaged application deployments to custom application development comes demand for a solution built specifically to inventory, monitor, and control the complex mix of web infrastructure, application servers and storage technologies used by today's application architectures.
"With Hyperic's help, we've made the move from closed source web and application servers to open source technologies like Tomcat and Apache," said a National Semiconductor spokesperson. "Hyperic HQ is managing some of our most critical business intelligence applications. HQ gives us visibility into these applications and helps us perform root cause analysis. Hyperic's open source expertise combined with Hyperic HQ's unique application management made it a natural fit for our infrastructure."
Hyperic HQ 2.0 offers a rich feature-set for managing open applications that is easy-to-install. The downloadable solution is up and running in less than one hour. It offers first-class support for major open source platforms, Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, MySQL and PostgreSQL, in addition to complete support for commercial J2EE solutions and the .NET platform.
Furthermore, personalized monitoring capabilities enable customers to create custom views of the resources comprising their mission critical services for instant analysis and problem resolution. Enhanced problem identification capabilities, based on continuously trended behavior derived from metrics collected by the system, enable customers to reliably anticipate and uncover problems in the infrastructure before they occur.
