New Releases: HyPerformix Announces Important Enhancements to its Predictive IT Management Suite New releases of Capacity Manager and Data Manager began shipping on August 27th and complete a series of important updates to the full Predictive IT Management Suite. Capacity Manager™, an automated system for IT investment decision support and capacity planning, adds predictive modeling of resource utilization, response time and workloads for the virtualized environments of HP-UX, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris and VMware platforms. IT organizations know they need to reduce the cost of maintenance on current systems so they can afford to support new business initiatives. Virtualization and consolidation are intuitively the right things to do but IT is challenged to develop an accurate business case for moving to virtualization, because they can’t accurately forecast cost avoidance and guarantee service levels without better decision support. Capacity Manager’s prescriptive features allow portfolio managers, business analysts and capacity planners to know how virtualized environments will perform, their cost savings, and how long the configuration will continue to meet business requirements. Performance Optimizer™, a comprehensive system providing in-depth prescriptions for optimized configurations and ongoing performance operations, now includes support for automated data collection from SAP® R/3 and NetWeaver-based landscapes. SAP customers considering a migration to NetWeaver or module rollouts consistently struggle to accurately size their landscape or forecast the capacity, performance and cost of the infrastructure to support the levels of service demanded by the business. Performance Optimizer is an instrumental part in the HyPerformix Predictive IT Management Solution for SAP and in this release provides an integrated best-practice methodology to ensure successful deployments and migrations. Data Manager™, a centralized database for the efficient management and sharing of capacity and performance data, has been enhanced with improved data collection automation, scheduling and validation features. HyPerformix customers are increasingly applying Predictive IT Management to multiple initiatives, so Data Manager's new functionality focuses on effective data and component sharing across users of the system. Data collection and validation are some of the more time-consuming steps in capacity planning and performance engineering and improved automation simplifies the process and accelerates the time to value for customers. For more on the new features, please visit: http://www.hyperformix.com/products/releases.asp In the News: HyPerformix Awarded Two New Patents HyPerformix has received two additional patents for key elements of its integrated suite for Predictive IT Management. These inventions extend HyPerformix' legacy of thought leadership in capacity planning by automating elements of data collection and validation. The patents, awarded for methods of semi-automated data collection, analysis and automatic model generation automate challenging and time-consuming aspects of IT performance management. These and other HyPerformix advancements allow IT and business to predict application performance quickly and accurately with less expertise than has been required in the past. HyPerformix has 22 patents approved or pending for capabilities in its suite of Predictive IT Management solutions.
