Agentless Performance Monitoring Comes of Age

Technology: Leading IT management software provider enables truly Agentless real time performance and availability monitoring for the Windows environment.

Topeka, KS (PRWEB) September 15, 2005 -- INSYSTEK, the leading provider of Agentless IT management solutions announced today that comprehensive Agentless performance monitoring capabilities for the Windows platform are available for organizations of all sizes.

The INSYSTEK® NSMC (Network Services Management Console) enables administrators to remotely monitor both servers and desktops for real time performance and availability data without the use of an agent or client on the remote system. The INSYSTEK® NSMC allows for the monitoring of processes and services including Proxy, IIS, SQL, Exchange and Exchange 2000 monitoring. Also enabled by the INSYSTEK® NSMC is the ability to determine real-time live system status, logical location tracking, and bandwidth monitoring. A built-in load balancing and redundancy architecture, custom alerts, and variable system threshold settings are provided as well.

"Performance monitoring without the direct use of an agent or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is now starting to gain traction in the industry," details Alex Turner, CEO of INSYSTEK. "However, we have been offering a truly Agentless monitoring approach to organizations since 1999. Our belief is that systems management is most effectively, efficiently and securely accomplished when there is no vendor presence on the managed device and neither are invasive methods such as log-in scripts, proprietary ports, administrative shares, or local system accounts used. This is an approach that is now being emulated to a lesser degree by some of the largest agent-based systems management vendors in the industry."

Performance monitoring is a critical function in any IT environment and more emphasis is being placed on the process as security concerns and the demand for IT optimization continue to increase. "Agentless monitoring just makes sense," outlines Turner. "Youre dealing in a lot of cases with environments that have strict security measures; many organizations actually prohibit the presence of an outside software application or piece of application code on their secure servers or other sensitive devices. This is where companies are able to leverage our Agentless technologies and maintain the same level of monitoring in the secure areas of their networks as they do in the less restricted areas without transgressing security policies."

Despite the widespread availability of systems management software, many organizations have not yet adopted a structured, automated approach to managing their IT assets. As these organizations make the shift from manual to automated systems management its important to evaluate potential solutions on the basis of fundamental architectural approaches as well as size and immediacy of return on investment - not just basic feature sets.

The full range of INSYSTEK® solutions includes INSYSTEK® Inventory Manager (auditing), INSYSTEK® Control Center (auditing, software distribution), and the INSYSTEK® NSMC (auditing, software distribution, performance monitoring). The complete range of management solutions provide administrators with the ability to easily perform system audits, software distributions and monitor their networked environment (servers and desktops) for real time performance and availability data. INSYSTEK® IT management solutions do not require the installation of an agent or vendor presence on the remote system.
