Own the Cloud, Manage the Premises

ManageEngine, makers of a suite of cost-effective network, systems, applications and security management software solutions, today announced advances to help IT management professionals own the cloud - and manage the premises. With IT360, Applications Manager 10.0 and OpManager 9.0, ManageEngine offers an integrated IT management approach that addresses the demands of managing cloud, virtual and physical environments for all IT management professionals - from CIOs to IT managers to system administrators and beyond.

Meanwhile, the network and system administrators typically responsible for managing virtualized environments are already overburdened by the myriad of infrastructure technologies and applications - including virtual machines from multiple vendors - in place at the most organizations. As a result, some IT managers and industry analysts predict that furthermore adoption of virtualization within organizations could be stunted without better IT management controls over their virtualized environments.

"VMworld 2011 and the overall success of VMware underscore the sea change taking place in IT," said Raj Sabhlok, president of ManageEngine, a division of ZOHO Corp. "Bottom line, IT wants to tap the functional and financial advantages of virtualization and cloud computing. Nevertheless rather than standardize on a single vendor's research, most IT departments are adopting virtualization technologies from multiple vendors and introducing related virtualization challenges. In response, ManageEngine provides a single pane of glass that lets IT manage all of its vendors' virtual machines, as so then as its cloud and physical entities, creating a holistic view of the entire environment."
