To broaden the appliance's appeal, ScienceLogic offers four images on the EM7, tailored to various size companies. ScienceLogic is looking to attract small and midsize enterprises while still keeping large enterprise IT groups happy. Don't need all the applications? Disable them with a click of the mouse. Better yet, these apps work together out of the box, eliminating the configuration and integration woes that typically plague NSM products. The device can handle IP usage and allocation duties, and can accurately autodiscover network devices and TCP port availability.
Its answer is the EM7 appliance, which provides most core NSM (network and systems management) capabilities: system and network performance management, including monitoring bandwidth usage and availability asset and configuration management and helpdesk. Although we think that's a slight exaggeration, ScienceLogic has clearly taken note of the prevailing frustration level. In our latest nwc reader survey, 70 percent of respondents said that no one has ever finished deploying a network-management platform. The EM7 may have trouble finding a home in large enterprises, given that these organizations usually want market-leading point solutions or a product suite with a broad range of advanced features. Although some important features, such as correlation and broader application support, are missing, most IT groups will be quite satisfied with the capabilities provided for the price. That's a shame, because many would benefit from integrated management.įor a midmarket organization, the EM7 is a dream come true. Many SMEs are stymied by the cost and complexity of NSM offerings from leaders such as BMC, CA, HP and IBM. ScienceLogic says its appliances can scale to suit even very large enterprises. The EM7 promises to eliminate the complexities involved in the installation, configuration and integration of enterprise management applications.
With the EM7, ScienceLogic provides a range of network-management functions, including fault and performance management, configuration management and helpdesk, in a single appliance.
