Start-Up Neebula Announcing ServiceWatch 2.0

Neebula Systems is announcing in the Gartner Infrastructure and Operation Management conference, the release of ServiceWatch 2.0.

Neebula, which was recently named Cool Vendor by Gartner,continues to evolve and maintain its offering of product aimed to manage applications and business services in the cloud era.

"Today’s applications span across many technologies in customers’ IT organizations. With ServiceWatch release 2.0 our customers can easily manage, from one central console, the availability and performance of services that span across internal or external IaaS and PaaS clouds," said Yuval Cohen CEO of Neebula. "ServiceWatch has a unique technology that enables it to follow all the components of a service in real time making Neebula ServiceWatch the only product that is suited to manage services in dynamic environments," added Cohen.

ServiceWatch discovers the application topology of a business service with all the infrastructure dependencies and updates this topology in real-time as changes occur. In addition ServiceWatch generates an impact model to assess the impact of any encountered event on the business service availability. As changes occur, ServiceWatch detects them and then correlates changes to problems.

Among the new key features in ServiceWatch 2.0:

• Additional support for cloud environments – ServiceWatch 2.0 supports business services residing within the Amazon EC2, and common cloud automation frameworks such as Eucalyptus.
• Support for additional virtualization technologies – ServiceWatch 2.0 adds support for Citrix Xen, AIX LPAR and Solaris Zones/LDOMS. This extends the already supported VMware virtualization.
• Storage mapping for EMC and NetApp environments – ServiceWatch 2.0 now maps the storage dependencies of each application using SAN or NAS down to the volume and disk level and can automatically calculate impact of a failed component on the application avilabilty.
• Key performance indicators – ServiceWatch 2.0 enables further investigation of the problem with performance metrics it can either collect by itself or import from other products.

Neebula ServiceWatch 2.0 is available.

Neebula was founded in 2009 by industry veterans including Ariel Gordon, former CTO of BMC and Yuval Cohen, former GM of Marvell Software Solutions Israel. In founding Neebula, their goal was to resolve the IT management challenges that are caused by virtualization and cloud computing. Neebula’s mission is to provide a new generation of Business Service Management (BSM) tools that are built by design to support real-time dynamic environments. Neebula’s BSM software utilizes a service modeling technology that automates the process of service modeling and keeps the model up to date in real-time dynamic environments.
