Savision B.V. today introduced its first product, Live Maps for Operations Manager 2007, which is the industry's first seamlessly integrated visual mapping product for Microsoft's System Center Operations Manager 2007. Live Maps now empowers IT organizations to combine any imaginable background image with Operations Manager 2007 data to create rich, context-aware monitoring maps. The deeply integrated solution adds substantial business and operational relevance to every IT problem, thereby decreasing incident identification time and significantly speeding problem resolution.
IT infrastructures are complex; monitoring should be simple. Only Live Maps for Operations Manager 2007 simplifies the ever-growing infrastructure maze of systems, applications, and networks into a set of connected pictures or diagrams. Live Maps enables every user to create a different view of the IT ecosystem. Executives need views by business unit and geography, while IT operators require service and component views. Live Maps empowers all users to create real-time, function relevant IT monitoring views in minutes.
Live Maps gives IT professional the tools they need to better visualize and manage more complex environments with the same resources. By mapping alerts to real business services, Live Maps ensures the underlying cause a problem is understood in the context of the business. "KPN has a complex IT environment which spawns more than 60 remote locations. Monitoring our environment without situational context would be impossible unless we hired more people," said Arnold Hoogerwerf, Manager Workspace at KPN. "Live Maps for Operations Manager 2007 ensures that our existing IT staff can proactively manage our dispersed environment by displaying IT problems in nested maps based on geographical location and business service."
Live Maps for Operations Manger 2007 also significantly reduces the time it takes for IT operation teams to successfully manage new or changed systems, applications or services. By mapping real-time environment health to logical, physical and geographical maps, IT operators now have a dynamic monitoring interface which adds situational context traditionally filed away in spreadsheets, operations manuals or other static IT artifacts. Live Maps breaths new life into these static artifacts, so operators do not have to memorize or quickly reference them during an IT failure.
"Live Maps for Operations Manager 2007 delivered much needed contextual monitoring views to help us visualize how IT problems impact our customer's business." said Michiel Rens, Global Offering Engineer for the Windows Management Framework at EDS. "The real-time perspective provided by Live Maps ensures that our teams can identify and resolve problems rapidly."
