During our recent webinar “How to Extend Microsoft SCOM to Monitor & Diagnose the Performance of Citrix, SAP, and other Business Critical Applications<\/a>“<\/strong> (see slides here<\/a>), we asked the 220 attendees about their biggest challenges with using Microsoft SCOM for performance monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s take a quick look at the results:<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/a><\/p>\n

The complexity introduced by multiple management packs tops the list of challenges with 52 percent. This is followed by lack of visibility into non-Microsoft systems (42 percent), troubleshooting across multiple monitoring tools (41 percent), and lack of visibility into virtualized environments (39 percent). As a result, problem diagnosis becomes slow and complex (31 percent).<\/p>\n

To extend the scope of Microsoft SCOM<\/a> to manage non-Microsoft environments (such as Citrix, SAP or virtualization platforms like VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer and RHEV) enterprises in the past had to look at multiple third party management packs<\/a>, one for each non-Microsoft platform. This traditional “multi-pack approach” creates complexity and only provides a fragmented view of the IT infrastructure. This approach also leads to slow problem isolation and diagnosis, and often results in poor user experience and loss of user productivity.<\/p>\n

eG Enterprise Universal Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM<\/a> is a new universal management pack that fills this gap and provides an integrated solution for SCOM to address the performance management needs of today’s enterprises.<\/p>\n
