Hyperic Delivers Open Source Management Solution for VMware

Wednesday, 20 December 2006 by Michel Roth

Hyperic is making available its virtualization management solution Hyperic HQ for VMware. According to the company, the solution will enable data centers to consolidate complete discovery, monitoring, analysis and control of all application, system and network assets, both inside and outside of the virtual machines powered by VMware.

Hyperic says that its HQ for VMware solution dramatically extends the capabilities to manage and analyze the full virtual stack, including the operating systems and applications running within the virtual machine, which also compliments VMware's own management solution, VirtualCenter.

Hyperic's technology offers users the ability to have a single, open source solution that can be used to manage systems across the entire virtualized infrastructure, regardless of the combination of hardware and software they are using. The company's technology-neutral approach enables the discovery, monitoring, analysis and control of enterprise IT assets from the network and operating system layers to the application and service tier. Hyperic claims this is the last "piece of the puzzle" that IT departments need in order to effectively manage their virtualized enterprise as it extends to widespread, mission-critical deployments.

The complete Hyperic HQ for VMware product is available now to all data centers via open-source licensing and can be downloaded from the company's Web site. VMware supported versions include VMware GSX 3.x, Server 1.x, and ESX Server 2.x and 3.x.
