Monolith Software Announces Enhancements to Its Unified IT Infrastructure Management Solution at Management World 2011

DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwire - May 23, 2011) - TM Forum's Management World 2011 (Booth #21) -- Monolith Software, the market's first and only unified IT infrastructure management software provider, today announced new enhancements to its flagship offering, Monolith, at TM Forum Management World 2011, Convention Centre Dublin.

Jeff Parker, president of Monolith Software, explains the IT infrastructure management problems when using legacy tools, "In the past, the IT infrastructure was tasked with providing singular services such as voice only or data only. Managing the infrastructure could be accomplished using a mixture of legacy point solutions. However, times have changed, with the complexity of new service offerings that are rolling out. It is now functionally impossible to string together multiple siloed tools to effectively manage this dynamic new environment. A unified approach is needed to ensure the performance and availability of new services."

To address this problem, Monolith offers several unique capabilities legacy solutions can't match, including: a single code base, multi-tenancy, real-time dashboards, fully portaled interface, a rich metric warehouse, as well as normalization and enrichment/correlation capabilities. The company has further enhanced its offering with the following new features:

• New Topology Dashboard Features - Zoom editable with custom widgets
• Enhancements to Synthetic Transaction Capabilities - Extended default transactions
• Meta-metrics via Post Consolidation Collection Engine - Now individual device metrics can be combined to form group metrics or a service metric that is a summation of the individual devices
• Virtual Device Support - In-depth monitoring of the cloud or any other environment
• Enhanced Device Discovery Capabilities - Streamlined management features for quicker deployment
• Upgraded to MySQL 5.5 - Bringing a 200 percent to 300 percent performance increase

"Our goal was simple," Parker continued. "Enhance our unified solution to provide a deep-dive view so IT administrators can mix and match all sorts of data such as cloud, topology, map, graphical-based events, meters, etc. Monolith is the only company in the industry that has built a unified platform -- with a single code set -- to give a multi-technology, multi-services view in a single offering. Our new Version 3.6 makes technology monitoring and management easier to deploy and maintain, resulting in accelerated productivity."
