Announcement posted by Integrated Research 09 Jun 2004

Software developer Integrated Research (IR) today announced integration of its PROGNOSIS suite of systems management software with HP OpenView, through the newly released PROGNOSIS Smart Plug In (SPI) for OpenView Operations (OVO).
PROGNOSIS is recognized as the leading and most comprehensive management tool for HP NonStop the worlds highest-availability platform which is why its used by so many of the worlds largest companies to manage their NonStop environments, says Integrated Researchs founder and CEO, Steve Killelea.
Unlike most systems management products that correlate information with server-based agents introducing significant delays in the process PROGNOSIS SPI for OpenView Operations features an agent-less design that returns availability and performance metrics in real time, detecting and resolving problems with local automation. HP OpenView users can then correlate events enterprise-wide, and command PROGNOSIS SPI for OVO to action events on one or many servers instantaneously.
The proven PROGNOSIS architecture provides best-of-breed HP NonStop performance management. The OVO framework is targeted at operations and problem management on an enterprise level, helping to manage the people and processes required to track problems. Together, PROGNOSIS and OVO provide new capabilities that give organizations advanced monitoring and management of their total environment.
With PROGNOSIS, HP OpenView users can manage the HP NonStop applications, middleware, hardware and networks, in real time, leveraging their existing investment in the OpenView framework, adds Killelea.
