Monitoring Studio

Business Challenge

Business-critical systems are provided by both packaged and custom applications. Application failures can account for up to 32 percent of unplanned system downtimes, so minimizing these unscheduled service disruptions is essential to the success and viability of your business.

However, managing customized applications can be complex, costly, and time consuming. You need an automated, integrated way to manage the performance and availability of your customized applications in a way that supports business priorities.

The Sentry Software Solution

Monitoring Studio provides real-time monitoring of diverse custom applications and components, generating events when critical availability and performance metric thresholds are exceeded. The solution offers several types of monitoring tools within a single product, thereby enabling consolidation of diverse monitoring needs. As a result, you will drastically reduce set-up, administrative, support, and maintenance costs, while also dramatically improving system uptime and productivity.

Available as an agent-based knowledge module (KM), and as an agent-less performance manager (PM), the solutions are specifically designed for and fully integrated with BMC Performance Manager. Monitoring Studio transforms the way you manage your custom applications and devices, and helps you take incremental steps within a Business Service Management (BSM) approach.

Part of a Comprehensive Business Service Management

Successful BSM implementations depend on a well-instrumented infrastructure that supplies relevant information about critical performance, availability, and throughput. Monitoring Studio facilitates the achievement of BSM objectives by consolidating several tools into one product that provides a consistent monitoring configuration methodology and uses a common management method to optimize your IT performance throughout the application lifecycle.

Monitoring Studio is fully integrated with BMC Performance Manager, which in turn is integrated with BMC Service Impact Manager, BMC Event Manager and BMC Atrium. As a result, you can access both application performance metrics and business impact information in an easy-to-use interface and immediately pinpoint trouble-spots in your applications that impact your business-critical systems.
