Systar Launches OmniVision Investigation
December 2009 by Marc Jacob
Systar announced the availability of OmniVision Investigation which adds real-time and historical problem assessment functionality to OmniVision, its
award-winning capacity management software. OmniVision enables organizations to optimize capacity
utilization, reduce infrastructure costs, and maintain quality of service. It now combines these strategic
capabilities with fast and accurate problem investigation.
OmniVision Investigation provides continuous, comprehensive, and unobtrusive observation of systems
operations, across virtualized and physical server environments, to streamline problem investigations and
improve mean time to repair. OmniVision Investigation collects over 500 metrics every 20 seconds from
each monitored system to ensure that even the smallest incident is not missed and that all points of
evidence are available for analysis.
By automating data collection, analysis, and reporting, OmniVision Investigation eliminates the cost and
complexity associated with developing custom scripts for each system targeted in a problem
investigation. It normalizes OmniVision performance metrics and numerous native technical metrics
across all monitored systems to provide standardized problem investigations regardless of the hardware
or operating system, including dynamic PowerVM™, Solaris™ Zones, and VMware® environments.
OmniVision now offers unmatched continuity of data between real-time assessments and long-term
visibility for capacity management, enabling organizations to consolidate tools to reduce maintenance,
training, and operational expenses. Using real-time data with automated historical reports, investigators
can quickly assess whether a problem is a one-time event or a recurring issue, ensuring an accurate
recommendation.
