The Heroix eQ Agentless Windows Server See Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Home Server, Windows 2000 and Windows NT. Solution, which is licensed on an annual subscription basis, monitors and alerts on the availability and performance of remote Windows based (1) (Windows-based; upper case "W") Refers to Microsoft Windows. (2) (windows-based; lower case "w") Having resizable windows. Same as "graphics based" or "GUI based." Graphical user interfaces are all windows based. Contrast with text based. servers, without requiring any software to be installed on the monitored systems. The new agentless monitoring component complements Heroix eQ's agent-based monitoring solutions to provide IT organizations a choice in monitoring according to the different roles servers play within the company. Heroix eQ's agent-based solutions are able to query a wealth of availability and performance metrics to determine the health of mission critical applications, databases, messaging, Web servers, and infrastructure components. The agentless solution, which runs on a central monitoring system, works with a subset of key availability and performance metrics for remote servers, without the need to install or run any software on the monitored systems. This helps IT organizations reduce costs associated with deploying agent-based software, enabling them to better match their monitoring to suit the business activities supported by individual servers. "With budgetary pressures continuing to squeeze IT organizations, it makes sense to match monitoring might to the task at hand," said Rick Lane, President and COO, Heroix. "For business-critical applications and servers, there is no substitute for agent-based monitoring, but for less strategic systems, or those with less comprehensive monitoring requirements, agentless monitoring can do the job nicely at a lower cost." The Agentless Windows Server Solution monitors some 40 availability and performance metrics including system uptime, CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and memory utilization, page fault and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output rates, and process and thread counts.
