The Innovator's Showcase highlights some of the world's most exciting early-stage IT companies. Following a presentation to the conference, Monitis was voted the most innovative new start-up by attendees, who included leading venture capital firms, investment banks and peers in the technology industry.

A key theme at the conference was computing in the Cloud and how it is changing the rules for enterprise IT. Monitis, as the first and only 100% Cloud-based, enterprise-grade, all-in-one suite network and systems monitoring tools, embodies the benefits of this shift to the Cloud. In addition to freeing up massive amounts of time for IT managers who would otherwise be stuck sitting on-site with software-based systems, Monitis is simple to use, employs a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model which keeps costs low, and stops companies from having to worry about things like upgrades or server maintenance that are part of the hassle of software-based monitoring solutions.

"With its ability to do performance monitoring, testing and configuration management in the Cloud, and of workloads running in the Cloud, at an affordable price, we believe Monitis is a company to watch in the nascent Cloud management space."

"To be invited to compete at The 451 Group's 2009 Innovator's Showcase was an honor in itself," said Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis' Founder and CEO. "But to have over 350 opinion leaders from around the world choose Monitis as the most innovative start-up for 2009 is thrilling. It's testament to the fact that we've hit upon a real market need with a product that is at least a generation ahead of the competition."

Ping! Monitis Launches a Free, Web-Based Remote Ping

San Jose, CA October 26, 2009 -- Monitis, the leading provider of 100% Cloud-based network and systems monitoring solutions, today added a free, web-based remote ping to its suite of services. Monitis' free, web-based remote ping allows users to check the availability of a server or website from multiple locations worldwide.

Monitis' new TCP remote ping service will allow web administrators to perform instant availability checks from multiple locations. It will also allow users to embed the ping component into their blog or site.


One of the most useful and reliable network debugging tools, the remote ping can be used to perform several Internet network diagnostic tests: to see if a user can reach a public server, to determine how long it takes to bounce a packet off of another site, and to probe either a domain name or an IP address. It is the best way to uncover network problems.

This announcement comes a week after Monitis announced the addition of free network calculators. Monitis, in addition to its complete, Cloud-based, all-in-one suite of monitoring tools that are sold on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, is also known for its numerous and popular free tools, including the famous monitoring portal Mon.itor.Us, MonitorSNMP, and Monitis Links-Checker.

Hovhannes Ayovan, Monitis' Founder and CEO, commented, "At Monitis, we are totally focused on saving IT managers masses of time. It's what we are all about. Our new free, web-based remote ping is just one in a number of seemingly small new tools that can make a big difference for IT teams when problems pop-up unexpectedly."

Garther: Cloud Services Brokerage Expected to Grow Significantly

The growth of cloud computing services and its complexity will demand end users to increasingly look for integration of service combinations, as per Gartner. Their research has identified the emergence of a new service called "cloud service brokerages". These third parties will be primarily negotiating relationships between the cloud service providers and the users including the users' cloud environment services integration. The location of these brokers and their products can be found at the site of the service provider, the user or in the cloud itself, as a service.

Gartner made a forecast in March that global revenue from cloud services in 2009 would exceed $56.3 billion which is 21.3% higher than the figure for the previous which stood at $46.4 billion. He also stated that total global revenue may reach $150.1 billion in 2013.

Monitis Hybrid Monitoring

Monitis provides an innovative dual approach which enables the user to benefit from agent and agentless monitoring. This unique hybrid systems monitoring technique can blend both agent and agentless monitoring into a unified monitoring system for your entire business. Monitis offers the high resolution monitoring of an agent-based monitoring system when required, in addition to the low cost advantages of lower resolution agentless systems when intense monitoring is not required. For instance, your IT staff can setup agent based monitoring on your high priority ERP and Web servers while reserving a more passive system or agentless monitoring on low priority servers and local printers. This allows IT to have a flexible, ubiquitous, and efficient command of the complete IT environment. Consequently, the IT staff will have comprehensive overview of all components of the IT environment, including places that previously gone unmonitored.

Up to 70% TCO Savings with Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing may reduce TCO by almost 70% according to recent IBM's survey. The concept of cloud computing uses Web 2.0 and software as a service (SaaS) to give its users scalable and virtual IT services including hardware and software. The users do not need to have deep knowledge of computing infrastructure, and don't have to control their companies' computer systems. Cloud computing is the next logical step to build upon grid computing, automatic computing, and other recent trends in the IT industry. Even small companies, like independent software manufacturers and service providers, will not need to spend money on their hardware or dedicated IT personnel when cloud computing is implemented.

Monitis Launches Cloud Monitoring Service

Latest Monitis service automates Amazon EC2 monitoring

Press Release

San Jose 12 May, 2009 - Monitis launches industry's first deep EC2 monitoring service. Monitis Cloud Monitor records instantiations and terminations of virtual server instances, automatically configures Monitis agents for deep fault, performance and configuration monitoring, and provisions external availability monitoring.

Cloud computing enable companies to attain scale on demand and hence reduced capital investments. Amazon's Web Services package is the market leader for on demand dedicated server provisioning and cloud computing. Virtual machine instantiation in Amazon EC2 is a minute and click away. Both startups and established companies are increasingly leveraging EC2 in their production systems. EC2 allows companies to scale to unlimited servers and payment can be tied to actual usage instead of monthly contracts. Users can run 20 servers per 1 hour or 1 server per 20 hour at the same cost. Software can launch additional services on demand including ability to scale when it experiences heavy load. This has potential to create following problems for the administrator: 1) cost escalation due to uncontrolled service launch and 2) inability for monitoring service to handle dynamic server instantiation.

Monitis Cloud Monitor provides control over services running in EC2 by leveraging Amazon's API for automated service management. Cloud Monitor leverages AWS account detail to regularly poll active instances, record changes in instance (start/stop) and executes user defined rules & actions including: ability to issue alerts, and setup additional internal/external monitors for new instances. Monitis automatically configures its agent for probing server CPU, load, storage, and processes resource utilization. Monitis service provisions external http, ping, database and/or custom monitoring. An example of custom monitoring include notification rules such as "notify if greater than 5 instances are running", "add an agent for every new instance, start CPU & storage monitoring, and notify if CPU utilization is more than 80%", etc.

"There is tremendous growth in on demand cloud computing and we see growing need for explicit cloud monitoring" said Hovhannes Avoyan, "with our customer first policy, we are here to address the need and we provide fast, easy, affordable tool". Monitis Cloud Monitor is web centric software and no downloads are required. The service is expected to be used both by both and IT service providers.

Monitis announces performance testing as a service

Performance testing made easy, affordable for QA, Developers and Webmasters!

Press Release

San Jose,April 28, 2009 – Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use performance monitoring and management software announces website performance testing service. With new Monitis Web Load Tester companies can not only instantly run their site performance tests but keep historical records and manage performance scripts.

Website availability can significantly affect companies revenue and its online reputation. An article in Digg or another social media has potential to boost significant traffic but can kill the site if not performance tested. Companies may lose their page ranking and sales instead of benefiting from the increased traffic. Load tests on every release of new features and running the tests on pre-production environment is needed to understand website's resilience. Having said, it is unwarranted for most companies to keep redundant servers just for load testing.

Monitis Web Load Tester (www.webloadtester.com) is the solution to prior mentioned challenges. QA, web developers, webmasters and even advanced business users can create load tests and run them within minutes leveraging a scalable testing platform. Besides affordable pricing, the easy to use interface does not require any learning. Users can leverage Web Load Tester's analytics interface to continue to benchmark modifications with historical results. Beta version of Web Load Tester is well received by 100+ customers. Prior version of Web Load Tester required users pay per each new test and sends test results via email. Current enhanced version offers users the ability to login to their account, prepay for multiple tests via paypal or credit card, manage reports and provide access to multiple users.

"Our mission is to continually provide affordable enterprise-class tools to IT specialists for systems performance management" said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis.  "Monitis now provides not only performance monitoring solutions but also proactive performance testing". Monitis planned series of new product announcements in the near future.
