Speed, speed, speed. The economic slowdown has not dampened the IT world’s enthusiasm for fast computing and fast start-up.

Today, Steria, a European-based IT services company, joined forces with Cisco to create a solution that claims to give users access to the cloud in about 30 minutes. It’s called Infrastructure on Command, to debut around June, and it’s a Platform as a Service (PaaS) product that’s built on Cisco’s Unified Computing System and supported by Steria Advanced Remote Services (STARS).

Users will be able to access Infrastructure on Command through an online portal, and they can purchase additional computing power and infrastructure services on a pay-as-you-go basis. Companies – and this sounds like it would be perfect for small and mid-size firms – can scale up or down depending on what they need.

What’s so attractive about this is not only that they can adjust supply depending on their demand, but it also allows them to simply pay for the computing power they use.

While this is certainly good news for IT folks (especially at smaller companies) who want to get their apps and data on the cloud quick, and keep within their budget guidelines, too, quick access doesn’t necessarily address some of the major worries about cloud computing these days – especially who within a company should get access and how to control that.

A recent poll by the Ponemon Institute, called the “2010 Access Governance Trends Survey,” asked 728 IT practitioners about their procedures and outcomes in setting up access to information resources. The survey found that 87% thought individuals had too much access to information systems, up 9% from 2008.

Meanwhile, 73% said adoption of cloud-based applications is allowing users to circumvent existing corporate policies on access. This is clearly a problem for companies that want to tighten information control and security. And the study says that lack of central control over access to the cloud and online information “can contribute to excess user access and generally decrease the ability to apply policies and processes consistently across the enterprise.”

So, if you consider the first bit of news, that is, a way to get access to the cloud in 30 minutes, and then juxtapose it against the second, that is, that IT executives are unhappy about a lack of control over employees gaining access to the cloud, it seems we’ve got a problem here. Is cloud development moving too fast for IT folks concerned with governance?

This makes an even more compelling argument for monitoring services, especially the monitoring of networks, and even more especially, multi-site networks. If more and more people are accessing information services, whether it’s done via internal servers or virtual servers at remote sites, you’re bound to worry more about keeping it all running smoothly. What kind of monitoring can Monitis do for you? Here are some services for network monitoring:

• Native agent for Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and Mac
  
• Computer configuration monitoring
  
• SNMP monitors, SNMP traps, MIB Browser with local infrastructure
  
• Internal telnet checks for switches, routers and other network devices
  
• Internal http check for intranet and extranet applications
  
• Office and cross-office WAN connectivity checks
  
• Ad hoc monitoring locations
  
• Expandable with custom scripts
  

Now is the time to consider letting a third-party monitoring system, like Monitis, do the tracking—and worrying—for you!

When designing the Reports module, we set out to do two things:

1) Eliminate the hassles and bottlenecks inherent in software-based monitoring systems and

2) Utilize the cloud to come up with innovative ways of creating and sharing reports.Our interactive Ajax dashboard makes it possible to add standard or custom reports in just a few clicks, without loading multiple pages.  Let’s walk through adding a report that shows daily performance for the previous month for a url’s uptime.

1) Go to Add Report>External at the top.

2) Select the monitor(s) to be included in the report and the time period.  You can select one, several, or all of your monitors.

3) The report will immediately appear on your dashboard.  You can view the data in a table, line chart, bar chart, or interactive calendar.  In settings you can set SLA thresholds and make the report public.  Public reports are under a separate url accessible by anyone you share the link with.  You can customize them with your own logo.  For this example we’ll use Fabio as our logo:

That’s not the only way to share reports.  You can also put several reports into a new tab and use the Share Page feature.  That will create a link to a read-only, interactive version of the tab, giving anyone in your organization a view of daily, weekly, or monthly data for the websites, servers or applications you want to share.  You can always destroy and recreate these links.

On top of all of that, we also email daily or weekly reports that summarize your IT infrastructure, including internal and external monitoring.  We’re working on some new report formats so stay tuned.

San Jose, CA – May 3, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of all-in-one Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced a major new product launch: a SSH/Telnet-based server management tool. This critical addition to Monitis’ already revolutionary toolkit enables users to not only monitor their servers, but immediately fix them, as well.

Available free within Monitis’ all-in-one suite of tools, the new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool is activated when users click on the SSH/Telnet icon. This opens a telnet screen, which enables users to access a given server and perform server management functions like restarting applications and cleaning storage.

Lightweight and available from any web browser, Monitis’ new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool opens SSH/Telnet access to any device connected to the internet. Besides supporting ANSI formatting and enabling file uploads via SCP, the tool is especially useful when users setup Cloud monitoring. The auto-login feature means there is no need to remember logins and IP addresses – routine hassles that are inconvenient and drain time and productivity from IT managers’ already overloaded schedules.

Monitis already offers platform-independent monitoring of public and private clouds (like Amazon’s EC2 or Rackspace’s cloud), and provides lists of running instances. With its new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool, Monitis users now only need to click on an instance and open automatically logged-in terminal access to that particular service. This significantly reduces the time required to fix problems and ultimately leads to better up-time.

According to Monitis’ Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan, “Monitis’ new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool changes the game. It helps IT managers move from monitoring problems to fixing them in one-click. It further reinforces our mission of helping the world’s IT managers save massive amounts of time.”
