Optinuity Introduces Oasis™ – The Industry’s First Autonomic Policy Management System
New Flagship Product Takes IT Automation to a New Level by Making
Systems and Applications Self-managing
BETHESDA, Md. – November 26, 2007 – Optinuity, Inc., an early pioneer in the field of IT automation, today introduced Oasis, the industry’s first Autonomic Policy Management (APM) system. Oasis goes far beyond traditional IT automation solutions by seamlessly integrating policy-based management, adaptive local monitoring, run-book automation, and enterprise job scheduling into a single, unified system. In doing so, Oasis gives organizations the first solution designed from the ground up to make IT systems and applications self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-configuring – in essence, self-managing.
In recent years, the complexity of deploying and managing IT infrastructure – both systems and applications – has increased at an untenable rate. This growing complexity has led to a range of problems including increased downtime, decreased user satisfaction, higher costs, and an ever-increasing strain on IT resources who are supposed to be contributing to the strategic goals of their organizations, but instead, spend the majority of their time fighting fires. Additionally, this increased complexity is becoming a significant barrier to scale and is limiting the organization’s overall growth and its ability to remain competitive.
“Automating the IT management process remains a key objective for IT executives focused on driving cost and complexity out of IT operations,” said David Williams, research vice president at Gartner. “However, with IT operations now measurable and accountable in the delivery of IT services while having to fight the age-old battle of doing more with less, IT management calls for more-rigorous and sophisticated approaches.”
Oasis provides such a solution and attacks the complexity problem by providing relief to both IT staffers and end-users in two key ways:
- By integrating policy management, monitoring, automation, and scheduling, Oasis allows IT shops to implement self-managing policies around their critical business applications. Through these Autonomic Policies, Oasis has the ability to monitor state conditions at run-time, and dynamically choose the optimal course of corrective action. As a result, potential problems are resolved before they degrade services and negatively impact users, and before IT resources – human and monetary – are expended on logging trouble tickets and manually investigating and solving problems.
- By providing a common, integrated platform that underpins both applications and infrastructure, Oasis allows IT organizations to achieve self-managing automation without requiring complex integrations across multiple separate point tools, allowing organizations to consolidate and simplify their IT management.
“Fundamentally, Oasis is about moving from a mode of IT management that is driven from the perspective of managing IT infrastructure, to one that is driven from the perspective of managing complete business systems and applications,” said Scott Stouffer, president and CEO of Optinuity, “This is the only way to truly become proactive and achieve self-managing systems. The reality is that IT departments must move in this direction if they are to survive and be meaningful contributors to the development and success of their organizations.” Stouffer continued, “Some of the world’s largest IT organizations are piloting Oasis and have already seen annualized savings of between two and three million dollars, simply based on automatically detecting and resolving error conditions before end-users ever know there is a problem. That kind of savings – in both dollars and labor – lets them use the reclaimed resources to do many more interesting and valuable things.”
