ManageEngine Adds APIs for Its Site24x7 Website Monitoring Service; Facilitates Integration with Enterprise Portals

Enables Customized Performance and Availability Monitoring, Integration of Data into Existing Management Portals and Business Applications

Austin, Texas, August 25, 2009 - ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective network, systems, security and applications management software solutions, today announced the availability of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Site24x7, the company’s SaaS-based solution for monitoring website performance from an end-user perspective.

The new Site 24x7 APIs allow service providers to offer highly-customized web site monitoring services to meet specific customer scenarios; while enterprise administrators can now integrate web site monitoring into their existing business applications, gaining perspective on website performance as experienced by end-users.

Site24x7 monitors any website from 15 locations; tracking the end-user experience from six sites in the US, three sites in Europe, and four in Asia, Australia and Africa.  Site24x7 ensures the hardware and software supporting such critical functions as online purchases, site logins, web form submissions and more, are performing up to service level agreements (SLAs).  The application can even be used to monitor email and DNS servers. 

ManageEngine Site 24x7 is offered in four versions, Free, Standard, Premium and Enterprise. The Enterprise edition includes SLA Management, the ability to group websites and applications from a business service management (BSM) perspective and enterprise-class performance reporting.

“Our customers depend on us to maintain the performance and availability of their online properties,” said George W. Carter, Director of IT, OakTree Solutions.  “We use Site 24x7 to ensure we meet our customer obligations.  With the new APIs, it’s easier than ever for us to see how our customers’ sites are performing, viewing data from within the monitoring interface we’re accustomed to using.  There are no new management portals to install and learn, making it possible to use Site 24x7 immediately after signing up for the service.”

“The APIs we’re announcing today will allow administrators to have a more comprehensive view of the enterprise IT infrastructure, from the front-end to the back-office,” said Gibu K. Mathew, product manager, ManageEngine. "The critical performance data supplied by Site 24x7 can now be easily integrated into third-party solutions for even better insight into the way in which online applications are supporting the overall business.”

Availability and Pricing

The Site24x7 APIs are available immediately at no additional charge. Existing Site24x7 users will click the “Generate API Key” button within the application. For more information, visit the Site24x7 Website Monitoring Service page.
