Network World Coverage of ScienceLogic at Interop

September 24th, 2008 by David Link

We were all really excited to have the opportunity to talk with Rebecca Wetzel of NetForecast and the Application Performance blog on Network World about ScienceLogic’s value proposition at Interop.

Yesterday, she posted a terrific blog post about Interop NY highlights and included a blurb about ScienceLogic that I wanted to include here. I have written earlier posts about how difficult it has been to gain smart, insightful coverage for our solutions with technology media. And I have to say that Sevcik and Wetzel get it!

It’s an interesting thing. When we talk with our customers, they bring up the value of having a single integrated solution – either they get it right away before they even buy it or they tell us about it after they’ve bought and been able to replace multiple solutions that usually never talked to each other. Most media and analysts, on the other hand, tend to gloss over this. It’s a core part of the tradition-bucking decisions we made when we first brought this product to market. And five years later, it’s astonishing to us that this seemingly practical way of looking at the total solution is still unique to us in the market. Other companies may talk about “single pane of glass” but the effort it takes to make that a reality is a tradeoff few make for the benefits. With EM7, it’s literally out-of-the-box. But more than a “single pane of glass”, an integrated solution like ours delivers a “single source of truth” – with synchronized fault, performance and availability information that just makes sense for troubleshooting and keeping your apps up and running 24/7.

And we’re not resting on our laurels. We’ve been hard at work on the next generation of EM7 management products and have taken the same approach to think “outside of the box” to deliver true innovation again in 2009. And Sevcik and Wetzel will be among the first to get a close-up on why and how we’re doing this.

A few excerpts from their post:

“We noticed yet more specialty network management vendors, leading us to wonder how the market can support such a plethora of them, and we felt empathy for IT teams that have to master yet more interfaces.”

“Application performance management and application acceleration vendors were well represented. Such products play well in today’s climate because they allow enterprises to get the most out of existing IT investments instead of buying more “stuff”. One particularly interesting vendor we talked to was ScienceLogic. They are integrating IT infrastructure and application monitoring into a single, not-very-expensive platform that will serve mainstream business well. This is smart, and we predict they will give the CA’s, BMC’s, HP’s and IBM’s of the world a run for their money.”
