VMware vFabric Hyperic

"Management & Monitoring for Web and Custom Application Infrastructures"

Find, fix and prevent performance problems in custom web applications, whether running on physical, virtual, or cloud infrastructure. With its ability to continuously monitor 50,000 metrics across 75 web technologies, Hyperic provides sysadmins the deep visibility they need to ensure server performance, reduce downtime, and meet SLAs. Hyperic automatically discovers new virtual machines as they come online, eliminating the need for manual updating of monitoring configurations.

• Detect and resolve performance issues before users even notice
• Gain complete visibility into your application infrastructure
• Configure server monitoring in minutes

Application Monitoring for Custom Web Applications

vFabric Hyperic, a stand-alone component of vFabric Application Performance Manager, helps web operations teams monitor the application infrastructure for custom web applications across physical machines, a virtual infrastructure environment, or the cloud. By providing immediate notification of application performance degradation or unavailability, Hyperic enables system administrators ensure availability and reliability of critical business applications. With out-of-the-box monitoring of application metrics, app servers, web servers, databases, messaging servers, authentication systems, guest operating systems, virtual machines (VMs), vSphere ESX hosts, and more, you'll have single-pane visibility into your entire application stack regardless of where it is deployed.

Automatically Detect and Resolve Performance Issues Faster

Hyperic can automatically perform simple system administration tasks to prevent and resolve a broad range of issues without any human intervention. For more complex issues, Hyperic's alert workflows automatically emails the appropriate specialists based on problem type and time of day. Over 3,500 customers worldwide depend on Hyperic application performance management to reduce their mean time to resolution (MTTR) and increase mean time between failures (MTBF), often correcting problems before users even notice.

Gain Complete Application Infrastructure Visibility

With over 50,000 performance metrics on over 75 technologies at every layer of your application infrastructure—from Java code to base OS or hypervisor and everything in between, Hyperic provides every production application operations team member what they need to rapidly troubleshoot problems and proactively prevent new ones. Hyperic is easily extensible to any new technologies that may arrive in your datacenter, ensuring that you always have a complete view of application infrastructure performance.

Configure Monitoring Agents in One Minute

Each Hyperic agent takes just about a minute to configure - simply specify the IP address of the Hyperic server collecting the agent data, and Hyperic's Auto-Discovery takes care of the rest. This ease of configuration lets you monitor numerous servers with minimal effort. In fact, one customer monitors 1,500 servers with less than one full-time employee (FTE).

Demonstrate Consistently Higher Service Levels

Hyperic's dashboards and reports let you demonstrate compliance with SLAs, operating level agreements (OLAs), and underpinning contracts (UCs) to their respective owners and IT management.
