DynaSis Launches Cloud-Based Productivity Solution for SOHO Market

Roswell, GA (PRWEB) March 30, 2011

DynaSis, Atlanta’s premier provider of IT services and support for small and medium businesses (SMBs), announced today the launch of ITility Essentials, a cloud-based productivity solution for businesses with fewer than 15 employees. ITility Essentials allows small businesses to move their data and applications into the cloud so they can conveniently access them from their desktop, laptop, home or office location – essentially wherever they may choose to perform their work.

“The increased visibility of cloud-based solutions is stimulating demand for the cloud yet many business owners don’t fully understand what they want, what they are getting or what the cloud can do for them,” states Dave Moorman, president of DynaSis. “With ITility Essentials we’re introducing a reliable platform that delivers the information and applications businesses use most: Microsoft Office and Microsoft Exchange plus standard line of business applications.”

ITility Essentials provides increased reliability for the small office/home office (SOHO) business by removing dependence on sometimes temperamental desktop hardware and poorly maintained servers housed in a shared storage closet or basement office. Instead, ITility Essentials is built on a Windows Terminal Services platform to give users access to their applications and data – in the cloud – from a web browser window on any Windows-based device.

ITility Essentials includes 4 hours of monthly helpdesk support. Users call one number for technical support on all of their IT infrastructure if service interruptions or technical complications occur. The SOHO audience also gains enterprise mobility, quality backup and disaster recovery baked right into the solution.

“With ITility Essentials, we’re offering the kind of reliable backup and disaster recovery that is often needed but not secured by the SOHO market,” continues Moorman. “In so doing we’re able to help prevent the SOHO from becoming another statistic of business failure after unrecoverable data loss.”

DynaSis Launches Cloud-Based Productivity Solution for SOHO Market

Xangati Unveils StormTracker The Industrys First Solution to Tackle Performance Storms Devastating Productivity in the Cloud

Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) August 22, 2012

Xangati, the recognized leader in performance management for virtualization and cloud environments, today unveiled StormTracker, the industrys first solution to immediately identify cross-silo storm patternsthrough live storm detection as they emerge in a cloud infrastructure. According to a recent ZK Research report, over 90 percent of virtualization admins believe existing management tools dont provide the integrated insight of how server+hypervisor, network and storage interact, which inhibits ITs ability to effectively manage cloud performance. (See related release here.) For the first time, Xangatis StormTracker gives organizations the ability to instantly identify storms, proactively track their impact and know how to remediate them by processing second-by-second insights spanning all interactions occurring throughout the cloud infrastructure.

StormTracker includes a new, robust, in-memory storm detection sub-engine integrated into Xangatis flagship Performance Management Engine which leverages a next generation computing architecture; and an interactive and contextual UI with multiple views into the entire cloud environment. In addition, Xangati has integrated performance management with capacity management to deliver essential insights to admins to ensure they right-size the expansion of their cloud hardware infrastructure.

All of the new StormTracker functionality will be integrated into the companys award-winning Xangati Management Dashboard (XMD) suite as well as its Xangati for vSphereFree single host tool. StormTracker will also be available as a free upgrade for existing Xangati customers. Xangati will showcase StormTracker at VMworld San Francisco August 26-30, Booth #2413.

Assuring cloud performance is top of mind for every IT executive seeking to transform their data center. Unfortunately for these executives their clouds are being devastated by transient performance storms flying in under the radar of their pre-existing monitoring solutions, said Alan Robin, CEO of Xangati. Only Xangati is rising to the challenge of managing the always in flux cloud infrastructure with StormTracker empowering administrators to instantly identify emerging storms. And even more importantly provides exclusive insight on how to avoid these storms in the future.

Traditional alert monitoring solutions were designed to focus on shifts in individual metrics in a pre-cloud data center environment, said Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst with ZK Research. My research shows that admins are uncomfortable with this model, given how the data center has evolvedinvestigating alerts is akin to chasing ones tail. By tracking storm fronts and their source, Xangati empowers IT to always understand how their cloud is behaving and to instantly identify emerging stormssaving valuable time and resources, while allowing them to anticipate and avoid future storms.

StormTracker Captures What Competing Solutions Miss Transient Storage, CPU, Memory and Network Storms

Inherently sluggish database-driven alert monitoring solutions fail to identify storms for two primary reasons. The first is that their after-the-fact architectures miss short-term shifts that are a mainstay of transient storms. The second is that chasing stand-alone metric alerts is only presenting an isolated symptom and doesnt get one to cause. That is why alert monitoring fosters post-mortem analysis which puts IT in an unproductive reactive posturewhere uncovering the source of storms is regularly taking anywhere from two hours up to days.

In contrast, Xangati StormTracker highlights storms instantaneously as they emerge, with key features including:
