Hyperic Partners with JasperSoft to Provide Advanced Reporting for IT Management

Hyperic HQ Enterprise incorporates world's most popular Java reporting product

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., September 24, 2007 - Hyperic Inc., the leader in multi-platform, open source systems management, and JasperSoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence, announced that they have partnered to provide advanced reporting for IT management. Released for general availability today, the integration of JasperSoft's JasperReports into Hyperic's flagship Hyperic HQ Enterprise software is the first milestone in the partnership.

IT operators using Hyperic will now have access to pre-built reports, making it easier for them to gain insight into IT performance and communicate recommendations between IT and upper management based on analysis. The new version of Hyperic includes various reports covering topics such as availability and resource utilization. Report details can be exported into various formats, including .pdf, .xls, .csv and .xml for easy file sharing. "The ability to drill into the data and generate reports is critical to IT management, especially in web-driven markets in which every minute of downtime has significant business implications," said Javier Soltero, CEO of Hyperic. "We're excited to be integrating technology from a fellow open source provider-we share a singular focus on adding the most value to our customers, and as a result were able to move much more quickly to bring our integrated offering to market."

The new Hyperic HQ Enterprise Reports were built using JasperSofts' JasperStudio graphical report designer for JasperReports. Together, these tools provide an intuitive graphical report designer and a powerful Java reporting library that enables rapid creation of any kind of report, including highly complex pixel-perfect layouts.

"We're pleased to be partnering with a company that understands the value of full-featured reporting for enterprise applications, like Hyperic HQ," said Nick Halsey, VP of marketing at JasperSoft. "This integration of JasperReports provides powerful reporting capabilities to Hyperic and strengthens its position as a leader in delivering value to the systems management market."

By providing organizations with the industry's most up-to-date and comprehensive monitoring and alerting tools, Hyperic HQ solves the basic IT challenges that afflict online services companies-how to keep their services running at 100 percent availability as they continually add the applications and infrastructure needed to move their businesses forward. Hyperic HQ's one-click auto-discovery of more than 65 technologies, extensible architecture and an easy-to-use UI allows administrators to go from downloading the product to monitoring their systems in less than an hour.

In new Hyperic HQ 3.1 Enterprise incorporates all of the features released in August with Hyperic HQ 3.1, which was recognized with LinuxWorld's "Best System Management Tool" award. In addition to the reporting capabilities, this new version expands the Alert Center to include filters and group alerts that assist IT in viewing alert queues more efficiently. Hyperic HQ 3.1 Enterprise also offers "follow the sun" alerting to notify users of incidents based on support schedules, simplifying the management of 24x7 or rotating support teams. Finally, significant performance and scalability optimization engineering enhancements will assist enterprises scaling detailed metric collection and centralized management with Hyperic HQ Enterprise to thousands of resources within a single instance.
