Opalis
Integration Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager
Opalis
Integration Server connects data center components to automate processes in a
way that’s simple, fast, and effective. Opalis removes repetitive,
time consuming manual processes from overburdened IT staff and eliminates the
risks associated with human error and shortcuts. The Opalis Integration Pack for
Microsoft Operations Manager enables you to incorporate MOM with
problem management processes and maintenance procedures.
Automate Problem & Incident Management Routines Faster
Problem and incident
triage often involves ad-hoc phone calls, manual analysis, and data
re-entry. With Opalis, you can automate diagnostics routines, corrective
actions, and pass data to other systems like a help desk - and finally
realize the benefits of a self-healing data center.
Control MOM Maintenance Mode while you Automate Housekeeping Chores
Microsoft MOM provides
sophisticated features for putting servers in maintenance mode during scheduled
downtime, however many maintenance tasks require manual attendance from
administrators. With Opalis you can automate manual maintenance tasks such as
backup, house keeping chores and control the MOM maintenance mode feature.
Coordinate & Consolidate Events between Help Desk and Monitoring Applications
Using the Opalis
Integration Pack for MOM along with Integration Packs for other monitoring and
service management products from companies such as NetIQ, BMC Remedy, HP, or
Peregrine, Opalis can automatically consolidate and coordinate events between
system management products.
