Online, May 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Jalasoft today announced the release of Xian NM Io R2 Service Pack 1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. The primary goals for this release were to simplify and automate the daily tasks needed for network management and to improve performance in large environments.
Service Pack 1 includes the following features:
• Automatic Interface Selection (Disable Elements) - This feature has been added to prevent any unnecessary data from being sent to OpsMgr, which could in turn, affect its overall performance. With SP1, you can set up traffic rules that disable elements when the average traffic during a certain period is below a specified limit.
• Multiple Connectors - This option allows users to connect with two Management Servers from a single NM server in order to increase the number of performance data points being sent to Ops Mgr.
• Enhanced Topology Discovery - We have refined our discovery tool to prove more detail for Network Topology Maps. With Service Pack 1, scan tasks can be executed over multiple network ranges/segments, making the discovery process more accurate and allowing scans to better match the layout of your network.
• New Top N reports - We have added a new set of reports that show the Top "N" objects based on Network Traffic, Packet Loss, Error Discards, Response Time and Interface Utilization over all monitored devices. Users can define the number of elements listed on the report and get a better view of what is happening at a specific point in time.
• Cache Control - This feature has been added to improve communication efficiency between Network Manager and OpsMgr by controlling the amount of data cached on the Network Manager server. If necessary Xian NM can be configured to control the number of performance counters sent to OpsMgr at one time.
• New Bandwidth Rule - An additional rule has been added to all SMP's, which calculates Interface Traffic Usage as a percentage of the maximum bandwidth.
Along with many other enhancements, these key features help make Xian NM Io R2 Service Pack 1, one of the most powerful and manageable network monitoring solutions available. Anyone who's interested will be able to download Xian Network Manager Io R2 SP1 as of today.
"This version far exceeds our expectations, and will prove to be very useful for all people who want to keep a close eye on the overall health of their environments" says Arnold Hagens, Product Marketing Manager at Jalasoft.
