The second part of the conference « Admin2004 Europe » took place in Paris in December 2004.

The administrators and developers using Lotus/Domino are very familiar with the event’s organizer — the magazine “The View”. The conference usually took place in the United States (Boston).

The transatlantic success wave has brought the conference to reach Copenhagen and then Paris, to the great satisfaction of numerous IBM/Lotus technology professionals who arrived from all over Europe and even from further remote destinations.

Hypersoft, the world leader in metrology, analysis, reporting and metrics of service levels for messaging systems, naturally became Premium Gold Sponsor of the two European conferences "Admin 2004", where the industry experts held more than 30 sessions in six major tracks.

Important and popular issues covered in the conference included “Performance Monitoring and Tuning” and “Upgrade Planning and Implementation”. Hypersoft in co-operation with EDS MCS (Messaging Collaborative Services) presented a session oriented on service level management and improvement by the means of monitoring and efficient analysis of the messaging infrastructure (« Improve IT Service Management by Monitoring and Reporting the Availability , Quality and Utilization of your Messaging Services – New messaging SLA : a customer requirement »).

The goal of this session was to draw attention to the growing problems faced by companies trying to deliver services of higher quality, and to discuss the IT Service Management approach and the best ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) experience. It was an attempt to evaluate the importance of having a proactive approach rather than reactive for information services management (Reporting Analysis vs. Real-Time Supervision).

Nowadays the IT market clearly shows that — to respond to availability limitations that go crescendo, to assure optimal service quality for users, to execute efficiently metrical processes in messaging and collaboration applications real-time monitoring became insufficient. Henceforward, it is of primary importance to have a perfect knowledge of your messaging infrastructure, of its functioning and of its usage. Quality measurements for the delivered services need to be performed from the end-user perspective, i.e. it is important to distinguish the service quality "relative" to the system and the service quality perceived by the customer. This would not have become possible without the appropriate technology.

Service level management and perfect knowledge of your messaging infrastructure are true magic for mastering IT costs, creation of a reliable expenses model and adequate billing.

With this conference being oriented strongly on the current situation in the IT services market, and particularly on the market of business messaging and peripheral services, Hypersoft made public the new version of OmniAnalyser, v.8.7. as well as its business intelligence software OmniContext.

Having arrived at the end of the three conference days and taking in consideration the general satisfaction expressed by numerous visitors, it is safe to bet that Admin will come back to Europe next year and why not once more to Paris!

Boston, May 14, 2004

Hypersoft Information Systems announces at ADMIN 2004 the new availability monitoring functionality in its award-winning OmniAnalyser™ software.

This new features include calculating mail server availability separately for each Store when it concerns Miscrosoft Exchange Availability. Server availability in the network can now be also probed by sending TCP/IP pings. Apart from just pinging the server, pinging any specified port is also possible. If the server hosts pages or files that are available via HTTP protocol, the availability of such HTTP resources can also be checked with the new version of OmniAnalyser™, even if accessing these resources requires special authorization with the HTTP server. Mail links between local and remote servers can now be checked by sending Round Trip messages, information on which will also be present in OmniAnalyser™ reports.

For these new types of availability information, real-time and history reporting, as well as sending alerts when critical situation occur, are available. System administrators can now have data on most critical aspects of system availability collected in one tool and delivered exactly where they need it.

Mail server availability information was present in OmniAnalyser™ reports since early OmniAnalyser™ versions, however, as the product grows to embrace more and more sources of data, these new availability features are the next step in making OmniAnalyser™ the ultimate product for all monitoring, metering and reporting needs.

German-based Hypersoft Information Systems GmbH extends the virus reporting capabilities of its OmniAnalyser™ messaging reporting and analysis software. It now integrates ScanMail™ for Lotus Notes™ which offers comprehensive virus protection and content security for the Lotus Domino™ environment.

The second type of report provides a summary about all running ScanMail™ applications installed on different servers throughout the network. This includes the server name, ScanMail™ version number, version number of the virus engine, and the pattern number.

All reports can be easily scheduled and fully automated thanks to various user defined filter settings. Reports can be either published through the Intranet/Internet or distributed via e-mail as CSV, HTML, or XML files.

The monitoring Agent can now monitor and alert on any specified parameter on a Windows machine, report on the performance history of monitored parameters, and monitor the Windows event log as well as any events from the Lotus Domino server logs. The Scan Agent is now able to check Last Access information for users of the mail servers.

Further improvements have been made to ensure seamless OmniAnalyser™ operation across all supported platforms, which currently include Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, SendMail and Sun One Integration Server (iPlanet).
