AUSTIN, Texas — October 25, 2011 —ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective network, systems, applications, and security management software, has announced the integration of MSP Center Plus and Zoho Assist. MSP Center Plus is a remote system monitoring solution designed to support the needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs) that are managing highly-distributed networks. Zoho Assist is an online remote session service offered by Zoho, a division of Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd., which is also the parent company of ManageEngine. By integrating a feature-rich remote monitoring solution with a proven remote session solution, ManageEngine has combined monitoring and remote control in a single UI solution that requires no remote installation, no remote configuration, and no remote maintenance.
Traditionally, SMBs and MSPs trying to monitor and manage thousands of systems on a distributed infrastructure install remote software packages on each system-and then maintain those installations on a regular basis. Updating and patching those agents can be a cumbersome task, to say nothing of having to use an application that is distinct from the organization’s monitoring tools to attach to that machine if there's a problem.
"To free SMBs and MSPs from these hassles, we decided to take a cloud approach and integrate the remote control functionality of Zoho Assist with MSP Center Plus," said Dev Anand, Product Manager, MSP Center Plus, at ManageEngine. "There's no longer any need to install, configure or maintain remote software agents. MSP Center Plus and Zoho Assist take care of everything in the background. And, there's now a single UI for monitoring and remote control. There’s no longer even a need to juggle multiple tools."
Smarter Software Delivers Support for Real-time IT
IT organizations are striving to make the most of emerging real-time technologies-not just for the enterprise but also to enable them to deliver real-time services. The pace of business is ever-increasing, and the ability to use real-time technologies-both in IT and throughout the business-can be a game-changer. By reducing the amount of time and effort involved with maintaining a broadly distributed infrastructure, the real-time IT products from ManageEngine can help an IT organization deliver better services to its constituents and help business managers strategize about how to apply emerging technologies more effectively to meet customer needs and take advantage of new opportunities.
"We're working to extend the 'single pane of glass' for IT," said Raj Sabhlok, President of ManageEngine, "to enable IT organizations around the world to provide their clients with the kind of always-aware, always-engaged and always-responsive support that they need. That’s going to help IT organizations respond more quickly and manage more effectively, and that will help give the organizations time to think more strategically and take their rightful seat at the business decision-making table."
The Technology of Integration
ManageEngine has integrated MSP Center Plus and Zoho Assist through APIs, which ensures that both products can continue to evolve in independent yet complementary ways. Users can stay up-to-date with the current versions and bug fixes and enjoy the latest features.
