Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 09-12-2009

San Jose, CA – December 9, 2009 – Monitis, the leading provider of 100% Cloud-based network and systems monitoring solutions, today announced the launch of Website Instant Check, a free service to check website response times from different locations.

This free, simple, easy to use Website Check tool allows IT managers and system administrators to instantly check the availability of their websites and web page-load speeds from multiple locations worldwide outside of their servers’ network. Monitis’ Website Instant Check checks the following functions:

- it sends an HTTP request to your provided URL every 60 seconds from multiple checkpoints around the world.

- it checks Time to First Byte (TTFB), which is the amount of time it takes to deliver the first byte of the requested page to the browser. TTFB represents the confirmation that a website is responding;

- it then checks the full content load speed;

- it then completes the analysis by measuring the DNS resolution time, which measures the translation speed of a domain name into an IP address.

This tool can also be embedded as a widget in user websites and blogs.

According to Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis’ Founder and CEO, “By helping clients maintain faster web page loads and an ever-improving user experience, the Website Instant Check is yet another in a myriad of small ways that Monitis is helping IT managers and system administrators to keep their companies as profitable and as efficient as possible.” The tool is located at http://portal.monitis.com/web/guest/check-website.

Press release

With Monitis’ new Custom Server Monitoring Locations tool, IT managers and system administrators can now define for themselves where they want to monitor from. This ability to have monitoring that is highly geographically customizable is a tremendous asset for websites wanting to monitor and improve their load-time performance in targeted markets.

As with all Monitis products, set-up is easy and quick. Simply install a small internal agent, define an unlimited number of locations to monitor from, and you are off and running.

Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis’ Founder and CEO, commented, “Custom Server Monitoring Locations is a simple idea, but one that will give an enormous about of power to IT managers. It’s another of the numerous ways that Monitis is changing the servers and network monitoring game.”

Buying Time for IT Managers: Announcing Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 24-11-2009

San Jose, CANovember 24, 2009 – Monitis, the leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use, 100% Cloud-based, network and systems monitoring solutions, today announced a another major release in its crusade to save IT managers’ time – a Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework that enables external and internal monitoring from all Cloud hosting providers.

Until today, Monitis was providing monitoring only for Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services. With the release of its Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework, Monitis can now sync to other Cloud computing providers very quickly – from Rackspace, GoGrid, Softlayer, and more. Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework will automate monitoring in highly dynamic cloud environments, where customers’ servers maybe added and terminated according to the load by management software or manually.

Given this dynamism, setting up end-user experience monitoring can become a tedious, resource intensive and error-prone process. Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework automates the configuration of external monitoring and server monitoring tools every time a new installation is called for – saving IT managers and system administrators around the world enormous time and hassle.

In addition to saving IT managers’ time, Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework gives users the confidence that comes from using a 3rd party tool to monitor Cloud infrastructure in an independent manner.  Even when Cloud computing providers provide some sort of monitoring, there is an inherent conflict of interest – as they are keen to show higher uptime. By providing a customized, independent audit of SLAs (service level agreements), Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework increases the credibility of Cloud computing providers claims, which ultimately benefits both users and the industry, as a whole.

“We are passionate about one thing: saving IT managers’ massive amounts of time. The release of our Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework does just that.” said Monitis’ Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan. “It is also the first sortie in our move to become the industry standard for monitoring from the Cloud. We are already far, far ahead of the rest of the competition, but watch this space – more exciting things are yet to come!”

SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol is a network based protocol used for monitoring network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.  It is a standard protocol used by all network equipment vendors for managing and monitoring switches, routers, access points, VPNs, firewalls, VoIP devices and more. SNMP is also widely used by software vendors for remote management.  SNMP monitoring is a standard feature supported by software-based network management systems. 

Monitis’ MonitorSNMP has been a free service for more than 11 months, and now Monitis launches its premium version, which will provide more advanced features, including:

-  MIB views

-  SNMP traps (SNMP notifications) monitoring

-  SNMP walk (an SNMP application allowing the user to gather a tree of information)

-  1 min interval monitoring

-  events’ filtering

-  and advanced notification rules giving the user an integrated holistic picture

 

Monitis’ SNMP monitoring can be used by small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), freelancers and managed service providers (MSPs).Monitis’ SNMP monitoring enables network monitoring at anytime from anywhere, with hassle-free deployment and updates, and easy management and usage. 

This upgrade also enhances support of features already present in the free version, such as MIB viewers, custom MIBs (Objects managed by SNMP are arranged in management information bases (MIBs). MIB is a collection of hierarchically organized information used to manage the devices in a communications network.  MIB comprises a collection of objects in the virtual database used to manage entities, such as routers and switches in a network).

Monitis Wins “Innovators Showcase” at 451 Group Client Event

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in Articles, News | Posted on 19-11-2009

I’m very excited to tell you that Monitis won top showing in the Innovators Showcase during The 451 Group’s recent 4th Annual Client Conference in Boston. This is a very proud moment for me and my colleagues.

We were part of a group of six technology companies that 451 Group invited. We all got a chance to present our services and products (ours was called “Monitoring in the Cloud: Monitor Anything from Anywhere”) to the audience of 300 or so attendees (venture capitalists, investment bankers, enterprise IT end users, software and hardware vendors and system integrators). Attendees had 451 Group scrip, which they then used to award as facsimile investment dollars to the most deserving of us. Monitis received the most investment scrip.

Why did we win? Well, I think that, a lot of people already understand that the cloud promises to make it a lot easier for companies to access applications and store a kajillion Gigs of data or so without investing tons of money and using up precious internal resources. But what I think a lot of folks don’t realize yet is that the cloud is also rapidly becoming home base to innovative service industries – such as Monitis’s cloud-based monitoring.

I was impressed by the level of interest among the investors in how we can use the cloud to monitor everything from sites to servers to networks to printers to SMS and so on. And I think we demonstrated very effectively how doing it via the cloud saves companies money and labor and allows them to put those dollars or euros or whatever where they want it: in growth strategies. And that’s nothing to turn your nose up at during these rough economic times.

Also, my thanks to Schoolwires, Inc., a company that provides strategic online communication, website and community management and productivity solutions to K-12 schools. They were there in Boston giving us a testimonial, and I’m grateful for their support. Schoowires has been using our all-in-one suite of cloud-based monitoring tools for more than two years to track and report on activity on the 1,200-plus web sites they manages. And they’ve reaped major efficiencies and reduced costs, among other benefits.

We were up against some pretty tough competition in the Innovators Showcase, and I was impressed by everybody’s presentations, too. Congrats to everyone who participated!

Monitis Wins the Innovator’s Showcase at The 451 Group Annual Conference

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 09-11-2009

Press release

San Jose, CA – November, 2009 – Monitis, the leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use, 100% Cloud-based, network and systems monitoring solutions, won the Innovators Showcase at The 451 Group 2009 Annual Client Conference held in Boston, USA held on November 3-4.

The Innovator’s Showcase highlights some of the world’s most exciting early-stage IT companies. Following a presentation to the conference, Monitis was voted the most innovative new start-up by attendees, who included leading venture capital firms, investment banks and peers in the technology industry.

A key theme at the conference was computing in the Cloud and how it is changing the rules for enterprise IT. Monitis, as the first and the only 100% Cloud-based, enterprise-grade, all-in-one suite network and systems monitoring tool, embodies the benefits of this shift to the Cloud. In addition to freeing up massive amounts of time for IT managers who would otherwise be stuck sitting on-site with software-based systems, Monitis is simple to use, employs a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model which keeps costs low, and stops companies from having to worry about things like upgrades or server maintenance that are part of the hassle of software-based monitoring solutions.

“The cloud is the next frontier of IT operations management,” said Dennis Callaghan, enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group. “With its ability to do performance monitoring, testing and configuration management in the Cloud, and of workloads running in the Cloud, at an affordable price, we believe Monitis is a company to watch in the nascent Cloud management space.”

“To be invited to compete at The 451 Group’s 2009 Innovator’s Showcase was an honor in itself,” said Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis’ Founder and CEO. “But to have over 350 opinion leaders from around the world choose Monitis as the most innovative start-up for 2009 is thrilling. It’s testament to the fact that we’ve hit upon a real market need with a product that is at least a generation ahead of the competition.”

Monitis Holiday Special for Online Shopping: Unwrap This Gift

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Transactions Monitoring | Posted on 08-11-2009

Even though we’re still not far into fall, you can tell by the catalogues that come in the daily mail that the holidays are fast approaching. So if you’ve got a website, this is a good time to start preparing for the usually pumped-up holiday traffic volume.

In this season, it’ll be more important than ever to make sure your site is up and functioning 24/7, and that it is performing at optimum levels. What will it cost you if your site is down? Well, figure this: every minute of downtime costs you a percentage of sales. To get a good idea, first, find out how much you’re selling per month. Then, divide it by 720 hours (30 days X 24 hours). Next, divide that number by 60 (minutes), and you’ll begin to realize how much you may lose if your site isn’t functional.

Speaking in dollars, if you’re selling $500,000 in goods per month, then you’ll forfeit almost $700 per hour of downtime – or about $12 per minute. If you’re at $1 million per month, that’s $24 per minute.. Other negatives aside from lost money: your damaged reputation, the trust of your customers, and any new customers who may have hit upon your site and bought something – but couldn’t because you were down. Does that make you feel like saying, “Ho ho ho!?” Probably not.

But look on the bright side, if you’re prepared with a good monitoring service that provides valuable transaction statistics and alerts you when things go wrong, you’ll minimize your risk of losing sales and customers. For a big-picture view of what’s at stake, Forrester Research is projecting online retail sales to rise 11 percent, to $156 billion, growing to 7 percent of overall retail revenue (from 6 percent in 2008). And the analysts project $229 billion in online sales by 2010.

Now, until November 10th, Monitis is offering special pricing during this merry (but critical) season for transaction monitoring services – where we’ll check functionality continuously, measure performance and notify you how things are going via SMS. For example, we’ll continuously check and report on: customer actions such as logging on to the site, searching for an item, adding it to the cart, checking out, order tracking and updating, payment and other actions.

You’ll be ahead of the crowd if you invest the time and effort to monitor your site. An Internet Retailer survey says that most retailers conduct some kind of site monitoring, but just 16% test performance from different geographic locations or during different parts of the day. And only 16% perform specific transaction monitoring. The same survey indicates that fully 25% performance-test their sites monthly or less, and more than 37% test weekly or less frequently.

Below is a rundown of the plans, the pricing and what you’ll get from Monitis’s special deals. The Platinum Retail plan gives you the most frequent monitoring for the most URLs.

The Little Ping – a Very Mighty Tool

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in Articles, News, Website Monitoring | Posted on 06-11-2009

What would you venture to say is a truly effective way to uncover network, website and server performance problems?

Consider the little ping. The ping is one of the most useful and reliable network debugging tools. It can be used to perform a bunch of Internet network diagnostic tests, for example, to check if a user can reach a public server, to determine how long it takes to bounce a packet off another site, and to probe a domain name or an IP address.

Add to that a remote capability – enabling web administrators to perform instant availability checks from multiple locations worldwide – and you have a very powerful tool.

We’ve recently added a free web-based remote ping tool to our all-in-one solution of cloud-based flexible IT monitoring services – consolidating backend, application, and cloud monitoring.

Check out more news about our new remote ping tool!

 

Praise for Monitis from The 451 Group

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News | Posted on 31-10-2009

I’m proud to tell you that Monitis has gotten the thumbs up from leading tech analysts The 451 Group.

“The cloud is the next frontier of IT operations management,” said Dennis Callaghan, enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group. “With its ability to do performance monitoring, testing and configuration management in the Cloud, and of workloads running in the Cloud, at an affordable price, we believe Monitis is a company to watch in the nascent Cloud management space.”

On its own, this positive comment is pretty impressive. But we’ve also been chosen by 451 to take part in their 2009 Innovators’ Showcase – at its Fourth Annual Client Conference on November 3-4 at Boston’s Marriott Longwharf Hotel.

We’re one of only six tech companies to be invited, and the event will include a pretty cool competition that will enable conference attendees (venture capitalists, investment bankers, enterprise IT end users, software and hardware vendors and system integrators) to “invest” in Innovators Showcase companies. It’ll work like this: attendees will receive 451 Group scrip, and the Showcase company that gets the most scrip (after making presentations about their technology and services) will be honored at the end of the conference.

We’re going to present our vision: “Monitoring in the Cloud: Monitor Anything from Anywhere.” I’ll be pleased, too, to have by my side one of our early customers, Schoolwires, Inc. They provide strategic online communication, website and community management and productivity solutions to K-12 schools. And they’ve been using our all-in-one suite of cloud-based monitoring tools for more than two years to track and report on activity on the 1,200-plus web sites that Schoolwires manages. And they’ve reaped major efficiencies and reduced costs, among other benefits.

Keep your fingers crossed for us, and I’ll be sure to report back on how the conference went!
