Zenprise Connector for Operations Manager 2007
Zenprise Connector for Operations Manager 2007, extends Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 with advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities.
Zenprise Key Features:
- Detailed Resolution Plans
- Alert Reduction
- BlackBerry Coverage
- Troubleshooting Examples
Detailed Resolution Plans
Detailed resolution instructions are embedded directly in the Operations Manager 2007 console. This can allow the level 1 or 2 technical support teams to resolve key issues without escalating to the Exchange or BlackBerry systems administrators. The end result is fewer escalations at inopportune times (e.g., while administrators are sleeping, on vacation, etc.), as well as faster mean time to repairs.
Alert Reduction
Zenprise can reduce the volume of Operations Manager 2007 alerts by up to 95%. Numerous alerts generated by the same underlying cause are grouped together (a process known as correlation), and a single root cause is identified in the Operations Manager console.
BlackBerry Coverage
Customers can leverage their investment in the Operations Manager 2007 framework to monitor and troubleshoot their BlackBerry environment. The Zenprise Connector for Operations Manager will identify the root cause to numerous problems, including: cannot send/receive email, cannot schedule meetings, cannot accept meetings, device activation failures, calendar & email reconciliation issues, etc.
