Where traditional solutions fall short:

  • Focus on data backup and recovery - not on IT Management
  • Huge operational data gap between business interruption and when backup tapes were made
  • Hardware and Software License pricing make it cost-prohibitive for most companies to create a truly redundant and remote disaster recovery solution for IT Management

Why EM7 is the answer
EM7's scalable and extensible appliance architecture delivers redundant IT management capability to maximize business availability at a price within the reach of most organizations.

Key Features:

  • High-availability solution engineered with automatic failover
  • Scalable appliance solution - "scalable" price
  • Perfect for any company or IT organization that must have 24/7 monitoring capability: Service Providers, Carriers, Technology companies, Military & Government Organizations
  • Redundant monitoring captures all operational data up to the minute of service interruption for rapid recovery and minimal business impact
  • Localized remote device monitoring versus traditional monitoring over a Wide Area Network connection
  • Store & Forward monitoring details ensure local reporting of remote devices continue even if a WAN connection fails

For networks with remotely managed devices and the need for business continuity assurance, EM7 offers a high-availability configuration which distributes core functions of EM7 to dedicated systems.

Data Collection Servers that are responsible for SNMP, syslog, and policy enforcement can be positioned just about anywhere in your network, giving additional failover and fault tolerance for remotely managed systems and devices. Placed in different network segments or deployed in "air-gapped" networks, each Data Collection Server can comprehensively manage hundreds of nodes, and operate independently of other collectors.

The central repository of this EM7 configuration is the dynamic Enterprise Database Server which offers database replication and failover protection. Replication between multiple Enterprise Database Servers creates a high-level of redundancy, enhanced data security and a robust disaster recovery solution.

EM7 Application and Report Servers offer customer-facing and operationally secure access through DES-3 session-based encryption. This allows users to access the EM7 interface securely via an encrypted SSL connection from either a public network or an internal network without having to install client software.
