Nimsoft Replacement: Cloud Provider Replaces Nimsoft

PTI Commercial Sites Remote Management Capability as Key

Philadelphia PA November 27, 2012 – Perpetual Technologies Incorporated, provider of remote and on premises mission-critical database management and consulting services, announced today that they have selected Goliath Technologies MonitorIT to manage their customer environments.

“As a service provider we have SLA’s with our customers that require us to manage and monitor the performance of their infrastructure, applications and data bases with great efficiency. To deliver on our commitments we have to rely on tools to support our processes. We used a legacy product from a Global IT software management company for a number of years and it proved to be less than adequate for our needs in terms of both product functionality and related support” said Angie Gleim, Vice President of Business Operations for PTI Commercial.  “The issues surrounding this technology became critical enough in our commercial business that we decided to move away from this product six months prior to the end of our contract. We used Goliath’s product in a small virtual server environment, but decided to expand their footprint and replace the legacy product for the entire IT infrastructure because of the ease of use, functionality that covers both physical and virtual environments, as well as the newly enhanced remote site management capability. Finally, we have found their support to be competent and responsive which is critical to our success.”

Goliath Technologies offers one of the only comprehensive infrastructure monitoring solutions in the market today that is able to be used by Cloud Providers. This multi-tenant technology allows an administrator to monitor the entire physical and virtual infrastructure from a single console. This complete and unified view accelerates root cause analysis and remediation. The cost and ease of use make it especially attractive to Cloud Providers that are under pressure to balance margins with SLA’s.

“The issue that PTI faced with Nimsoft is not uncommon. Software companies with legacy solutions find it increasingly difficult to compete in the service provider market,” said Thomas Charlton, Chairman and CEO of Goliath Technologies. “Our product, architected specifically for the challenges that IT Administrators face in managing hybrid, virtual, physical and cloud environments delivers cross platform functionality with no programming necessary and at a much lower cost. All of this compliments the business model and technical requirements of service providers.”

About Goliath Technologies

Goliath Technologies is focused on systems management software for IT organizations that address the evolving challenges of managing physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures. These hybrid environments require solutions that are scalable, cost effective and easy to use. Many legacy technologies are difficult to deploy and expensive to maintain and, as a result, are not well suited for this new paradigm. Inexpensive or free technologies, though easy to deploy and use, lack enterprise functionality and scalability. Both are slow to add features that are required to support physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures.

Goliath Technologies Announces Citrix XenApp Monitoring

Complete Visibility of XenApp and Supporting Infrastructure Substantially Reduces Complexity of Supporting Desktop Virtualization

Philadelphia Pa, November 15, 2012 – Goliath Technologies announced today that they have enhanced their market leading performance monitoring, analysis and reporting product to include out-of-the-box integration into the XenApp Server, SQL Server, Web Interface, Windows Infrastructure and Virtual Servers/Machines. While always easy to use, these new enhancements give Goliath Technologies a tremendous lead over other offerings that either don’t provide this functionality or require months of programming time and expense to achieve it.

“Can you imagine how frustrating it must be to have the responsibility of determining the root cause of performance degradation, when you can’t see all the potential infrastructure elements that might be causing the issue? For the XenApp Administrator who hears the words ‘Citrix is slow,’ this is a reality” said Thomas Charlton, Chairman and CEO of Goliath Technologies.  “The goal is a happy end user and the central challenge is that XenApp depends on networks, underlying physical or virtual servers, and other elements to deliver an acceptable user experience. Our product offers a lens into all of these components so that an administrator can determine causality, remediate quickly, provide objective evidence of root cause and automate fix actions based on best practices thresholds.”

MonitorIT delivers comprehensive monitoring for XenApp Farms and its dependent infrastructure to truly isolate the root cause of problems when they occur, on the local network or in remote environments. Using the XenApp Session Dashboard and Health Check, administrators can finally validate that XenApp is healthy and available, and if it is not, then quickly identify problems and initiate automated fix actions. And unlike other solutions, MonitorIT can look past XenApp itself, to see how the dependent infrastructure is impacting XenApp, including VMware or XenServer, network devices, physical servers and more.

C.P.U. Inc, in business since 1977, is a technical services and information systems service provider that provides infrastructure management services both on premises and hosted. Frank Jones, President of CPU, commented “We were using a product called N-able for performance monitoring, but we needed a product that gave us better visibility into remote customer environments where we manage XenServer, XenApp and the supporting infrastructure. A specific Bank with stringent SLA’s caused us to look for a product with functionality specifically designed for remote management of this type of environment. We selected Goliath Technologies after an extensive evaluation because they offered the capability to easily capture XenApp session information, so we could see which end users were accessing what applications on which XenApp server. Beyond XenApp, Monitor IT also monitors the underlying XenServer infrastructure and does this while supporting multi-tenancy where individual customers have the ability to log in and manage their environment.”

Goliath Technologies Announces Support for Citrix XenServer

The new XenServer 6.1 enhancements improve Goliath’s performance monitoring, reporting, and analysis capabilities

Philadelphia, PA – November 01, 2012

Goliath Technologies announced today that they have enhanced their market leading performance monitoring and reporting product MonitorIT with additional functionality that leverages the new capabilities of Citrix XenServer 6.1. The monitoring product from Goliath Technologies provides more visibility and control than any other product in the market. The combination of agentless and agent based approaches allows the user to monitor not only the virtual host and machines, but also the applications that reside on the guests. Other agentless monitoring products cannot provide that visibility into application performance. Conversely, most agent based products are too resource intensive to use in a virtual environment.

“Multiple hypervisors in one data center are becoming the norm. We see more of Citrix XenServer being deployed, both free and paid versions, in production environments which drives the need for management tools. Many of these virtual environments previously only had VMware, so there is an increasing requirement for cross hypervisor capability. The MonitorIT product already allows the virtualization specialist to manage both environments from one central console. Now, with the enhancements in XenServer 6.1 we can pull similar metrics from both hypervisors, which has been a consistent request from our customers”. Thomas Charlton, Chairman and CEO of Goliath Technologies

“XenServer is gaining significant traction in the datacenter as the hypervisor of choice in cloud and virtual desktop deployments. As XenServer 6.1 advances our optimizations for these critical next-generation workloads, it is more important than ever that users have access to the right tools to monitor performance. Partners like Goliath provide an important part of the solution set with MonitorIT by offering needed visibility at the host and application layer.” Tom McCafferty, Senior Director of Product Marketing for XenServer

“With the XenServer 6.1 release, Citrix has added a number of really important Hypervisor API enhancements we now use to deliver great performance insight to administrators. We have always had the ability to gather CPU, Memory, and Disk performance, but now we have the ability to trend CPU wait times, host memory reclamation rate, storage latency, IOPS, and I/O wait times, which will especially help XenServer administrators to quickly identify bottlenecks in their virtual infrastructures,” said Raja Jadeja, Director of Technical Operations at Goliath Technologies. He continued, “This will simply allow us to gather more data and ultimately provide our customers with better visibility into the health and performance of their hosts, virtual machines, and applications.“
