Netuitive Unveils Netuitive 5.0, Delivers First Self-Learning Management Solution for Cloud Infrastructures

RESTON, VA, Jun 02 (MARKET WIRE) —
Netuitive, Inc., the leading provider of self-learning performance
management software, today released Netuitive 5.0 to address the
immediate needs of organizations that need to manage the performance of
highly dynamic and distributed cloud infrastructures. With this release,
Netuitive both unifies its award-winning Service Analyzer and Netuitive
SI products into a single, comprehensive solution and delivers the
industry’s first productized Performance Management Database (PMDB).

Netuitive 5.0 enables automated end-to-end service views and monitoring
administration of systems and services within cloud infrastructures,
empowering organizations to improve system performance, ensure service
quality and availability and leverage existing investments while reducing
operating and administrative costs.

“Netuitive has a long legacy of thought leadership and driving innovation
in the very challenging area of performance management,” explains Nicola
Sanna, president and CEO of Netuitive. “We are guiding some of the
biggest companies in the world, including seven of the ten largest banks
and three of the largest telcos, on their private cloud initiatives. We
understand these customers’ needs and the performance management
challenges they face in creating private clouds. Many of these customers
have already standardized on Netuitive’s performance management platform
to monitor mission-critical applications. Their experience demonstrates
Netuitive’s unequaled ability to increase the value of existing
performance management solutions, assure the stability of mission
critical applications and reduce costs.”

Built with proven, self-learning and continuously adaptive software based
on nine patented technologies and 20 years of research, Netuitive 5.0 is
the first performance management solution that uniquely addresses the
performance management challenges of the cloud. Netuitive 5.0 replaces
human guesswork with automated mathematics and analysis to understand
normal system behavior across IT silos, isolate root causes of service
issues and forecast degradations before they impact performance.

“Cloud computing is quickly gaining traction in the marketplace, yet
private, cloud-based infrastructures are far more dynamic than anything a
data center manager could have envisioned even five years ago,” comments
Dennis Drogseth, vice president with Enterprise Management Associates.
“While the cloud may in some cases simplify service provisioning, the
underlying infrastructure has many more moving parts to manage.
Cloud-based services that often rely on multiple, geographically
dispersed systems, cannot be effectively monitored with manual
correlation rules and static thresholds, or siloed tool sets that only
address one domain at a time. In such a complex environment, with little
room for error, flexible, assimilative, self-learning capabilities like
those of Netuitive are quickly becoming essential foundations for
responsible service management.”

Netuitive 5.0 – New Product Features
Netuitive 5.0 is built on the same
self-learning technology that won the 2010 CODiE Award for “Best Systems
Management Solution” and 2009 “Best of VMworld” Award for virtualization
management. Key new features include:

– Unified Visualization – Aggregates service views from distributed
infrastructures, regardless of monitoring source or geography, to
deliver a real-time dashboard view of end-to-end service health.
Netuitive 5.0 self-learns and correlates the performance for every
component that enables an organization’s private cloud service –
including physical and virtual servers, storage, network and
applications. — to provide unprecedented visibility, performance
forecasting and root-cause isolation. Netuitive 5.0 also now provides
roll-up views of the sub-services that might make up a complete cloud
service offering. For example, an organization’s “Online Storefront”
service can be seen in context with its subordinate application
services such as “authentication,” “catalog lookup,” “inventory,” and
“credit card authorization” — even if some of these are enabled by
third-party providers.

– Performance Management Database (PMDB) – Leverages data already being
collected by existing systems monitoring tools (e.g. BMC, CA, IBM, HP,
Microsoft, VMware) to deliver the richest source of IT performance
information available anywhere for capacity management. Organizations
can now search millions of data points to quickly evaluate system
performance in order to fully optimize under-utilized infrastructure
assets, including servers, storage and network components. The
Netuitive PMDB collects raw performance data of 10-1000 KPIs per
system from physical or virtual components, integrates and normalizes
data from any monitoring source, and supports metadata or the use of a
CMDB to describe system attributes. By drawing on the performance
data, organizations can instantly analyze resource utilization from
hundreds of different angles, such as identifying the most
under/over-utilized servers; identifying factors driving the workload
for a group of servers; or analyzing resource usage by application,
region, owner, business unit or service. Users can also export data to
third-party enterprise reporting and analysis tools for long-range
capacity planning.

Netuitive 5.0 is available now. To inquire about Netuitive 5.0 and
