Hyperic Gives ISV's Enterprise-Class IT Management Capability with New OEM Partner Program

JBoss, MySQL first to integrate Hyperic technology into their offerings

SAN FRANCISCO — October 30, 2006 — Hyperic Inc., the leader in multi-platform, open-source IT management, today announced a partner program that enables independent software vendors (ISV's) to add enterprise-class, multi-platform IT management capabilities to their products. MySQL and JBoss are among the first companies to join the Hyperic Embedded Management program and distribute the Hyperic HQ management platform as part of their open-source offerings.

The Hyperic Embedded Management program makes it easy for software vendors to enhance their offerings with the addition of enterprise-class management functionality. Hyperic's management software uses a single interface to obtain system data across virtually any platform. This gives customers the ability to integrate HQ into their existing — and future — mixed-stack environments and discover and fix potential problems before they can impact critical business functions.

Hyperic's cross-platform SIGAR API enables MySQL Enterprise to obtain low-level operating system information across a variety of different platforms — through a single interface. This serves as one important data point for monitoring and managing the health of MySQL database servers. MySQL Enterprise then acts as a "Virtual DBA", giving IT departments the ability to understand and solve potential problems before they impact critical business applications.

"Adding the functionality of Hyperic HQ into open source infrastructure products like MySQL and JBoss gives their customers a more complete, open source solution," said Javier Soltero, CEO of Hyperic. "They get the additional benefits of Hyperic's enterprise-class IT management platform, making it easy for users to monitor and manage all IT operations from a single portal."

Commercial ISV's can begin evaluating the capabilities of Hyperic HQ management platform by downloading the open source HQ at hyperic.com/downloads/. The Hyperic program also provides partners with joint sales and marketing opportunities, and more.

In addition to its embedded partners, Hyperic's partner ecosystem includes XenSource and EnterpriseDB, among others.

Hyperic HQ is the industry's most comprehensive offering for managing any type of software stackÑwhether it's an open source LAMP stack, a closed source stack, or a hybrid. Unlike traditional management solutions, Hyperic HQ monitors virtually all kinds of operating systems, web servers, app servers and database servers, and can be extended to monitor most types of applicationsÑboth at a technical and business level.
