Complete Support for Virtualized and Cloud Resources

Hyperic HQ provides web operations teams with a comprehensive view into the performance
and availability of their virtualized environments. With its unique ability to analyze
performance metrics–from physical hardware, virtualization software, to the operating
systems, software and services of the guest virtual machines–Hyperic HQ provides the only
complete performance picture of virtualized environments in the market today. Hyperic HQ’s
layered view of the infrastructure deployment is better than a hardware-centric monitoring
approach for diagnosing performance problems. Historical charting, event correlation
capabilities, and congurable graphs allow system administrators to quickly review, drilldown
and analyze performance data.

Managed Products

SpringSource Hyperic HQ manages a broad range of products including web servers,
application servers, databases, operating systems, virtualization servers, messaging servers,
and directory servers. Hyperic HQ uses the native management capabilities of the managed
products, and can be easily extended to cover more products through Plugin Development
Kit, usually with only a few lines of XML.
