Microsoft Management Packs
• Multi-pack approach adds cost & complexity
• Fragmented view of environment
• Slow & manual diagnosis
© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
Management packs from different vendors are not integrated
Multiple management packs add cost & complexity
Licensing of each MP is different; no consistency across MPs
Many alerts, but very little actionable information due to lack of correlation and root cause diagnosis
Leads to long problem isolation & diagnosis cycles, resulting in poor user experience and increase in IT operation cost

The Universal Management Pack Solution
© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
• The “eG SCOM Connector” developed by eG Innovations seamlessly integrates eG Enterprise into Microsoft SCOM framework.
• The integration allows SCOM administrators to extend their visibility into key applications and platforms that are not supported in-depth by SCOM.
• These include Citrix XenApp, XenServer, Provisioning Servers, NetScaler, XenDesktop, VMware vSphere and View, besides others.
• Supports Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 / 2012 / 2012 SP1 / 2012 R2

Key Features of eG/SCOM Integration
• Integrated End-to-end Monitoring of heterogeneous IT Infrastructures: Leverages best of breed capabilities of Microsoft and eG monitoring technologies.
• Makes SCOM “virtualization-aware”: Enables SCOM admins to proactively detect issues in heterogeneous virtualized platforms.
• Centralized monitoring and alerting from SCOM: The SCOM console becomes the one-stop-shop for performance and problem information. Leverages eG’s automatic root-cause diagnosis capability.
• Makes troubleshooting easy: The eG console can be launched from the SCOM console on-demand, allowing administrators instant access to the detailed diagnostics provided by eG and easing troubleshooting.

appear to be equally

With root-cause diagnosis, you have a clear idea of what to do to resolve the problem.

Benefits of the eG SCOM Integration• Integrated end-to-end monitoring solution for heterogeneous
platforms: Single pane of glass view of entire service infrastructure (not just Microsoft applications)
• Add custom monitoring easily to SCOM: Use the eG Integration Console to monitor and report on new applications/devices easily in the SCOM console.
• Short Learning Curve for SCOM Administrators: No need to learn another monitoring tool – continue using the familiar SCOM console. No need to learn about different management packs.
• Maximize the Returns on your SCOM Investment: Combine eG Enterprise's increased monitoring depth and breadth with SCOM's expertise in monitoring Microsoft technologies

Gartner on the eG SCOM Integration
• eG Innovations goes deeper than Microsoft SCOM in the areas of Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Linux.
• Monitoring of Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat and VMware virtualization technologies is natively supported by eG Innovations.
• A large number of application components can now be monitored with SCOM, including those provided by IBM, SAP and Oracle.
• This monitoring platform can be integrated into OpsMgr 2007 and OpsMgr 2012.
