<p>VMware, Inc., the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to the cloud, today announced SpringSource Hyperic 4.4, an award-winning solution for managing and monitoring custom applications. Through enhanced integration with VMware vCenter Server, Hyperic 4.4 now maintains a continually updated inventory of VMware vSphere ESX and ESXi hosts, enabling IT Administrators to more rapidly pinpoint, correct, and prevent application performance problems wherever they occur across physical, virtual, and private cloud infrastructures.</p><p>As organizations deploy an increasing proportion of their custom applications across virtual and cloud infrastructures, the dynamic nature of virtualized application resources has placed new demands on application operators needing visibility into the performance of those applications. Hyperic 4.4's VMware vCenter Server integration enables application operators to ensure application performance despite this increased pace of change.</p><p>SpringSource Hyperic, a key element of SpringSource's software suite, supports applications running on both physical and virtual infrastructure, providing in-depth real-time performance data on more than 75 technologies used to develop modern web applications and enabling customers to ensure that applications meet their service level commitments through reduced application downtime and improved performance.</p><p>"For some time, Hyperic has provided us with excellent visibility into the performance of our custom applications," said Eric Schwalbe, technical advisor infrastructure integration, InterContinental Hotels Group. "By enabling us to understand performance at any point between the application and its ESX host, Hyperic 4.4 will enable us to extend this visibility across our virtualized infrastructure."</p><p><a href="http://www.ervik.as/vmware/vsphere/2940-vmware-announces-hyperic-44-to-enhance-application-monitoring-across-virtual-infrastructure">Keep reading...</a></p>
