eG VM Monitor

eG Innovations And Leostream Team Up

October 29, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

eG Innovations, a provider of performance monitoring and triage solutions for virtual and physical IT infrastructures, and Leostream, developer of virtual hosted desktop software, announced today that they have established a technology partnership to leverage their combined strengths and define a new standard of performance and flexibility in the area of virtualized desktop computing.

Under the agreement, eG Innovations’ virtualization monitoring software, the eG VM Monitor, has been enhanced with specialized monitoring capabilities for the Leostream Connection Broker software. With this integration, organizations deploying virtual desktop environments have a comprehensive solution to establish, monitor, and report performance baselines for end-user virtual desktop access to enterprise applications.

Part of the eG Enterprise Suite, the eG VM Monitor is a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing all aspects of virtual hosts and guests, whether the infrastructure is used to support server or desktop applications. Coupled with the ability of the eG Enterprise Suite to monitor over 80 applications eG VM Monitor – with its patent-pending In-N-Out Monitoring technology — provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for monitoring and managing the performance of virtual IT infrastructures. The eG VM Monitor won the Best of VMworld 2008 Gold award in the Application and Infrastructure Management category at the VMworld 2008 conference in September.

The Leostream Connection Broker is an independent, flexible, cost-effective solution for regulating access to end user computing resources hosted in the data center. Leostream provides a comprehensive approach to desktop virtualization. The product enables organizations to manage end-user access to computing resources such as desktops, Terminal Server sessions, and streaming applications. It provides a scalable, fault-tolerant management layer that centralizes and consolidates IT resources in the data center and then creates, assigns, and delivers desktops to end users.

eG Innovations Adds XenServer and Sun LDoms Support to Its VM Monitor

September 8, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

eG Innovations today announced that its eG VM Monitor now supports Citrix XenServer and Sun Microsystems’ Solaris Logical Domains (LDoms).

The enhancements are part of v4.2 of the company’s eG Enterprise Suite, which already supports VMware ESX and ESX 3i servers as well as Solaris Containers. The new software release also strengthens management of VMware environments. eG Enterprise agents can now be integrated directly within VMware’s Virtual Center. This greatly simplifies configuration of the monitoring for VMware server farms.

Also, the eG VM Monitor software now monitors the VMware Virtual Desktop Manager to provide an end-to-end view of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment. A new VM Search capability makes it easier to track the status and performance of virtual machines (VMs) as they move from one physical server to another.

The eG Enterprise Suite monitors Citrix XenServers and Sun LDoms in much the same way it monitors VMware ESX servers. eG Enterprise v4.2 offers agent-based and agentless monitoring of CitrixXen server v4.0 and 4.1. For agent-based monitoring, an eG agent on the control domain of a XenServer monitors the hypervisor and all its virtual machines (VMs).
Administrators can also choose to monitor their XenServers without agents, with either a Linux or a Windows system being used to host the remote data collector. Citrix XenMotion activity is tracked to determine when, how often, why and where VMs migrate to.

eG Enterprise v4.2 provides many other improvements and new features. These include: tracking and reporting uptime of individual VMs, ability to share customized views and reports among all or specific administrators, allowing administrators to select a console display “skin” (color) of their choice, providing selectable alert modes (e.g., email and SMS) to accommodate preferences of administrators who work in shifts; and custom monitoring of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

The eG Enterprise v4.2 will be available at the end of September. Pricing for any virtualization platform supported is per server monitored, regardless of the hardware capabilities (e.g., CPU, memory, socket) of the server, or the number of virtual machines or virtual desktops it supports. Pricing for a 25-node environment starts at $50,000.
