VMworld 2013 – SAN FRANCISCO and PLEASANTON, Calif. – August 26, 2013w –Site24x7, the cloud infrastructure monitoring service from ManageEngine, today announced the launch of monitoring support for hybrid and public cloud environments. Available immediately, the new capabilities let users monitor VMware vSphere® hypervisors as well as Amazon EC2 and RDS web services. The move lets users optimize the uptime and performance of their private, public and hybrid cloud environments from a central Site24x7 console.

ManageEngine is demonstrating the new capabilities in Site24x7 and exhibiting the rest of its IT management portfolio in booth 2410 at VMworld® 2013, which continues through August 29 at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Cloud and virtualization are key technologies for organizations seeking to improve the flexibility and scalability of the IT services delivered to end users. Public cloud services from Amazon let companies run their own applications and services on computing resources externally hosted by Amazon. Constantly monitoring these cloud-hosted applications ensures they perform at expected levels and ensures cloud resources are being effectively utilized. Similarly, highly virtualized infrastructure requires constant monitoring to optimize uptime and performance.
