NEI Announces Advanced Server Health Monitoring and Alarm Management Software

CANTON, Mass., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NEI (NASDAQ: NEI), a leading provider of application platforms, deployment solutions and lifecycle support services for software technology developers and OEMs worldwide, today announced its new modular Health Monitoring and Alarm Management software, available as part of the company's Element Manager Suite and newly launched Application Management services. The new Health and Alarm Manager modules help support failsafe operation with real-time monitoring and increase the operational uptime of enterprise-class servers that host critical security, storage, video and communications applications.

Azuki Systems, a leading provider of over-the-top multi-screen video delivery solutions, is using NEI's Health Monitoring and Alarm Management software to help manage its installed multi-screen video delivery platforms more effectively. NEI's health management capabilities enable Azuki Systems to observe information about the performance of its systems in real time, and identify and react quickly to any issues that might affect their operations.

"Some of the largest and most successful content owners and service providers rely on Azuki Systems to ensure uptime, reliability, scalability, and performance," said Rob Hickey, vice president of engineering at Azuki. "Our ability to quickly configure and deploy health monitoring tools that proactively manage our systems is an important part of our Azuki Media Platform™ solution."

Health Manager monitors and reports the status of critical hardware and software components used in physical, virtual and cloud environments. This includes checks of the operational condition of CPUs, power supplies, storage arrays and disk drives, and the monitoring of software behavior, error conditions, functionality, and overall system health. Alarm Manager is also highly automated and configurable for reporting numerous operational conditions, thanks to real-time CPU and disk monitoring, as well as a full status monitor that collects information about system function and memory status.  Together, the new software modules help improve IT management and service response times by allowing customers to install and test basic functions faster than ever before.

"Our legacy of streamlining application deployment models to create world-class physical, virtual and cloud-ready solutions has earned NEI the reputation of being one of the industry's most trusted partners," said Jeff Hudgins, vice president of marketing for NEI.  "Our mission is to deliver advanced services that help software vendors more effectively deploy and manage solutions, and the new Health Monitoring and Alarm Manager modules are another example of our commitment to this initiative."
