Enhanced SAS IT Intelligence software includes cloud, virtual serversJohannesburg, South Africa (21 Oct. 2010) – IT managers can now extract the intelligence they need to better manage virtualised servers and cloud computing architectures. A new version of SAS IT Resource Management enhances performance management and capacity planning for mainframes, distributed systems, networks, and other platforms, and also includes a business intelligence reporting environment. The update from SAS, the leader in business analytics, builds upon SAS' recognised and powerful platform that enables IT organisations to optimally plan, purchase, build, maintain and manage IT infrastructure. Users of SAS IT Resource Management proactively manage and control IT costs each and every day. "IT organisations are seeking a holistic view of the performance and capacity aspects of their increasingly complex IT infrastructures that include innumerable technology domains, virtualised environments, mission-critical applications and database systems, all running in heterogeneous operating environments. Cloud computing, with all of its merits, is now further complicating IT operations," said Lisa Erickson-Harris, research director for Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). "SAS Institute is well-known for its advanced analytics," said Erickson-Harris. "SAS IT Resource Management builds upon decades of experience to simplify usability and ease the management realities for IT," said Erickson-Harris. SAS IT Resource Management now includes adapters for VMware vCentre Server and Microsoft System Centre Operations Manager (MS SCOM) servers, both of which support cloud infrastructures. In addition to approximately 4 000 pre-configured IT intelligence reports and Web-based reporting, SAS IT Resource Management now features enhanced performance management and capacity planning for mainframe and distributed systems, networks, databases, the Web and applications. Other enhancements, including more powerful usage monitoring and workload measurement features, provide potential infrastructure cost savings and improved throughput.
