Comtrade Software Unveils SCOM SuperPacks for Nutanix

BOSTON, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Comtrade Software, a leading provider of enterprise IT infrastructure and application monitoring and data protection solutions, today announced new Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) SuperPacks to increase visibility into applications running on Nutanix enterprise cloud through integrated dashboards that correlate metrics between different management packs for a single view of entire IT environment.  The new solutions are part of significant enhancements to the company's SCOM Management Pack for Nutanix, first introduced in May 2016.

Comtrade's SCOM SuperPacks combine application data from existing Citrix, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server management packs with the underlying infrastructure data from Comtrade's Nutanix Management Pack to deliver a consolidated view of performance across the entire application delivery stack hosted on Nutanix hyperconverged environments. This enables deeper levels of application monitoring and awareness, giving IT teams greater ability to visualize performance trends, predict and troubleshoot issues before they arise, and configure workloads for enhanced efficiencies, all within one holistic interface. 

"Monitoring applications and their infrastructure is critical to ensuring business continuity and improving the experience of the end-user," said Simon Taylor, president at Comtrade Software and chief strategy officer at Comtrade Group. "Our new SuperPacks let IT see below the tip of the iceberg to effectively monitor the entire IT stack like never before. This sophisticated integration of application and infrastructure data ensures a simple and comprehensive Nutanix monitoring experience."
