Dorado Announces Redcell OpsCenter

Dorado Software, Inc., a provider of IT infrastructure lifecycle management software, announced the release of Redcell OpsCenter, the first in a portfolio of new Redcell 6.1 enterprise products for network, systems, and storage management with an aggressive pricing structure, to scale from small and mid-sized businesses to large organizations. Redcell OpsCenter offers network, system, and storage administrators consolidated IT resource management and monitoring of traditional and virtualized multi-vendor, multi-technology networked environments.

“These are exciting times at Dorado Software. They have strengthened their enterprise IT portfolio with software products that are easy-to-use, scalable and affordable,” says former Veritas executive and Dorado Software board member, Paul Sallaberry. “The sound product developments in Redcell 6.1 allow the IT infrastructure to effectively scale from SMB to the enterprise.”

“Redcell OpsCenter is what we consider a foundation product for our Redcell 6.1 enterprise offerings. It consolidates traditional management silos so administrators have more operational functionality at their fingertips, in a single pane of glass,” stated Mike Grote, vice president of product management at Dorado Software.

Increases Functionality
From Redcell OpsCenter’s ‘QuickView’ screen, users can find all networked IT assets, and their subcomponents; understand how they are connected and associated to each other; and see all aspects of a resource’s health, availability, performance, current configuration state, asset information, and compliance status. In addition, Redcell OpsCenter’s proactive monitoring notifies users of the health, availability, and performance of the infrastructure and automates policy-based remediation. Integration of these key IT management capabilities help enterprise customers to increase productivity; improve time-to-problem resolution; gain superior asset visibility, availability and utilization; and reduce software integration and maintenance costs – all resulting in operational cost savings.

For instance, with Redcell OpsCenter, multiple vendor and technology devices can be proactively monitored in a single platform allowing administrators to identify the root cause of problems within minutes, versus hours, or days. Its multi-technology coverage includes routers, switches, wireless gear, security appliances, servers, PCs, storage devices and networked printers.

“Redcell OpsCenter addresses operational challenges driven by converging technology solutions such as unified communications, fiber channel and iSCSI-based SANs, virtualization and next generation datacenters. Network, storage, system, and security administrators can leverage its comprehensive infrastructure management capabilities, from one console with customizable views. In addition, the solution offers to reduce the complexity of problem solving and operational management across disparate technologies,” said Grote.

Redcell OpsCenter’s modularity allows it to be leveraged within one administrative workgroup or across multiple workgroups. By integrating administrative domains, Redcell OpsCenter provides end-to-end visibility and operational control, allowing converged IT solutions to work effectively, in addition to fostering teamwork between administrators and operators alike.

"Redcell OpsCenter can increase productivity while reducing administration costs by automating key operational tasks and intelligently monitoring services and devices," says Hillel Sackstien, Founder & CEO Virtual Graffiti, a leading hybrid systems integrator, and Dorado Software reseller. "It’s vital to have a product that can do this in a multi-domain environment – which is typical of our customers."

Key features of Redcell OpsCenter include:

• Automated deep discovery
• Full CMDB inventory
• Customizable graphical, logical and physical topology
• Fault & event management via SNMP; Syslog and CIM indications
• Active performance management for IT devices and services
• Extensive canned and ad-hoc reporting
• Task automation and free-form device configuration for multi-domain, multi-vendor and virtualized environments that include vendor equipment from Aruba, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Extreme, Juniper, HP, 3Com and many others.

Additional Enterprise Products are Easily Integrated
Because Redcell is a truly integrated suite of products, adding new products is easy. For instance, as IT departments invest in new, disruptive technologies from manufacturers or increase scale, additional Redcell modules can be easily added to effectively address operational requirements by a simple license key, or downloading and installing a Redcell device driver.

Redcell OpsCenter is targeted at operators and administrators in SMB to enterprise operation centers. Redcell OpsCenter starts under $3000 and is generally available.
