Webmasters Can Check Server Speed Instantly with New Page Load-Tester

SAN JOSÉ, CA., February 10, 2011 – Yes, the best things in life are free! That’s why Monitis, the award-winning provider of the world’s first all-in-one monitoring cloudware, has added a no-cost instant, full web page load-testing tool http://pageload.monitis.com.

“We have a single vision in mind for our new and free instant, web page load-testing service, and that is to help Sysadmins, Webmasters and developers save time by quickly finding out about issues or problems on their sites and then fixing them immediately,” said Monitis Founder and CEO Hovhannes Avoyan. “In the end, saving time allows Sysadmins to better manage their online businesses and raise customer service levels.”

The new Monitis tool loads for speed testing a complete HTML page, including all objects such as images, Javascripts, CSS, Flash, RSS feeds, frames, and iframes and then reports back with easy-to-read bar graphs on the load time of each object(see below).

The testing service mimics the way a web page is loaded in a real web browser. Users need only enter a URL of a page to test the load time of all elements on that page. The test will help to find page or server problems and load-related bottlenecks. Test results enable IT pros to quickly identify and fix issues such as slow load time or failure to load of some images or CSS files from web servers. Importantly, Monitis can check the page load speed simultaneously from multiple testing locations across the U.S., Europe and Asia, giving Sysadmins a complete report of real user experiences in different markets.

“Our new web page tester performs a one-time check without any need to register or sign up as a customer, although Webmasters and Sysadmins who want to perform server tests regularly throughout the day, say every 15 minutes or so, and get alerts in case of failures, can sign up for Monitis, our premium service,” said Avoyan. “This easy-to-use instant tool broadens our menu of instant-check tools, such as instant remote ping and instant http check. What they all have in common is that they make life much easier for IT pros, saving them time.”

Monitis is committed to continue providing free tools to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Monitis recently fully redesigned its free Mon.itor.Us monitoring service (http://mon.itor.us), enabling comprehensive server and network monitoring services at no cost. Monitis is planning new tools for Sysadmins throughout all 2011.

Many large and mid-size companies can save just as much or more with internal servers for their computing needs than they can with a cloud platform. That’s wisdom from Alan Ganek, chief technology officer and vice president of strategy and technology at IBM’s Software Group, in a recent article I read in PCWorld.

Meanwhile, enterprises with thousands of servers are more likely to maximize savings by building a private cloud or a hybrid public/private cloud. For example, cloud services offer such advantages as:

- a variable cost structure that eliminates the need for up-front capital expenses

- the ability to scale up or down the amount of servers required for an application.

Despite these general bits of wisdom, each company must decide which applications and workloads can be outsourced and which ones need to be kept in-house. It’s a highly personal decision, and firms need to take into account not only cost savings, but also risk factors and compliance requirements.

Overall, the most suitable outsourcing workloads for an external cloud are infrastructure workloads, including desktop and communications tools, said Ganek in the article. Meanwhile, database and application-oriented workloads are best suited for private clouds.

Ganek gave an example of how a company can break down what belongs where. He cited the example of IBM client Panasonic, which uses LotusLive, IBM’s hosted e-mail and collaboration service, rather than an in-house system.

“I’m sure that Panasonic has the scale to deploy private clouds, and I have every expectation that they will deploy private clouds for certain aspects of their business, but then you look at the specific challenge they faced with their collaboration tools — the fact that their 300,000 employees are scattered all over the world and the fact their starting place had many different regional implementations — using the IBM LotusLive cloud was very natural for them,” Ganek said.

I found this very revealing – especially taking a look at how one company decided what to keep inside and what to farm out. No matter what type of cloud your company builds or whether you opt to do your computing via internal servers that house apps, it’s essential that you set up some type of system of automated monitoring so that you keep computing running smoothly and be kept in the loop regarding potential problems.

San Jose, CA – May 6, 2010 – Monitis, the award-winning provider of the world’s first all-in-one Cloud-based systems-, network-, and application-monitoring suite, today announced that it has gone mobile via Monitis Mobile. With Monitis Mobile, IT managers around the world can access data from Monitis’ market-leading suite of tools via mobile devices, including iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and Symbian devices.

With Monitis Mobile IT managers and system administrators can access their Monitis data, take a snapshot of all recent checks, and see the details of each of the various monitoring tools within the Monitis suite. Most importantly, Monitis Mobile includes access to both internal and external monitoring tools, giving IT managers visibility over their page-load times from multiple geographically disperse locations, as well as over their internal server metrics such as CPU, memory, and more.

Said Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan, “Monitis has always been about and will always only ever be about saving the world’s IT managers massive amounts of time. With the launch of Monitis Mobile, which provides mobile access to both internal and external data, we are taking our game to a whole new level.”

Monitis Mobile is available as a free service within the Monitis suite of tools.

San Jose, CA – April 22, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of all-in-one Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced a major new product launch: Java Application Monitoring.

Said Monitis Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan, “This is a big deal. This is a major step forward in the industry and we are excited to be at the forefront of this innovation. With this new addition Monitis becomes a true Swiss army knife for the IT administrators. Our host of useful tools in one simple, easy-to-use package can be configured in 5 minutes and require zero maintenance efforts.”

Monitis’ Cloud-based Application Monitoring Tool provides monitoring, troubleshooting, root cause diagnosis, plus pro-active planning tools such as load generators, scalability analysis, resource usage analysis and more. Specifically, the Java Application Monitoring tool:

• Monitors every metric, log, and configuration for all JMX resources in your inventory
• Identifies problem resources
• Controls all JMX resources on-demand
• Sends alerts on any measurement, log, or security event in your JMX environment
• Integrates fully into Monitis’ award-winning internal and external monitoring suite.

Specific metrics for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Monitoring Tool include:

• General JVM Server Metrics
  • Availability and Uptime
  • Object metrics
  • Heap Memory Used, Committed and Max
  • Loaded and Unloaded Classes
  • Thread Count
• JVM Garbage Collector Metrics
• JVM Memory Pool Metrics

Monitis’ Cloud-based Java Application Monitoring Tool can monitor all leading commercial and open source J2EE application servers. The servers which provide JMX capabilities for monitoring include all leading products like: WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, Apache Geronimo, JRun, Tomcat, Glassfish, and Resin. Monitis monitoring of Sun Java System could also be done through the SNMP mechanism used by the administrative console of the web server.

As with all Monitis tools, the new Cloud-based Java Application Monitoring tool is designed to save IT managers massive amounts of time. Sign-up and set-up take less than 5 minutes, and with Monitis’ heralded, hyper-intuitive interface, there is no learning curve – an incredible claim given that Monitis is perhaps the most powerful application performance management tool available today. Its pay as you go model makes the procurement easy even for Universities, which may also benefit from academic pricing.

• New options in the toolbar. The toolbar now enables users to change the number of columns, enable/disable flash charts, and collapse/expand modules directly from dashboard’s toolbar. The Help section has also been revised.
• Improved visibility and access in the tab bar. The size of the tab bar has been increased, allowing users to see more tabs without scrolling. The tab carousel has also been improved, making it more convenient to scroll and switch between tabs.
• Significant performance enhancements for IE users.

Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis’ Founder and CEO, commented, “We already had the easiest-to-use all-in-one monitoring suite on the market. With our most recent UI overhaul and upgrade, we’ve gone from strength to strength.

San Jose, CA – March 11, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use, 100% Cloud-based, network and systems monitoring solutions, today announced that it has launched a totally new and completely revamped website.

This addition caps a 12 month period in which Monitis has doubled its user base, won the 451 Group’s prestigious “Most Innovative Start-up” award for 2009, and driven a development schedule and roll out of one game-changing product after another.

According to Founder and CEO Hovhannes Avoyan, “Our Cloud-based, SaaS-driven, all-in-one suite internal and external monitoring tools is so far ahead of the game, that likely for the last 12 months and certainly for the last 6 months, there has been absolutely no comparison between the value and difference-making features we offer and the rest of the competition. Yet, until now our website didn’t reflect our radical advantages. As of today, this is no longer the case. We finally have a site worthy of our offering.”

The core of the new Monitis site is already live and a bevy of new features and additions will be streamed on-line in the weeks to come.
