Longitude Earns Kudos from SLA Experts EMA

Excerpts from Enterprise Management Associates' review of Heroix Longitude® agentless monitoring software:

"With Longitude’s agentless technology, Heroix focuses on giving system administrators easy-to-use and easy-to-install software that delivers high-level and comprehensive reporting for executives and technicians."

"First introduced in May 2005, Longitude was conceived as an automated monitoring solution that combined robust functionality with low cost delivery. Heroix bypassed the time-consuming, agent-based approach that underlies many systems management solutions. Instead, the product is designed to be installed within 15 minutes and implemented with immediate results, while still providing comprehensive monitoring of applications and operating systems. Heroix takes advantage of technology advances in data collection capabilities, such as with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Java Management Extensions, to provide highly functional, agentless software."

"Longitude SLAs can take redundancy into account. So, for example, if a critical application is distributed across five servers, and two of the servers are offline or experiencing performance degradation, Longitude may determine that the SLA is still in compliance according to the user-defined threshold; that is, as long as three servers are fully operational, no violation exists."

"EMA sees strengths in reporting, particularly with the SLA dashboard, and in ease-of-use. Longitude’s agentless technology enables companies to quickly install and implement automated performance monitoring."
