OI Upgrades
OI Free is available now as a free device management solution for monitoring up to 10 devices on as many as five routes. Beyond their polling capabilities, all versions of OI (except OI Free) can effortlessly integrate with Observer Reporting Server (ORS) for aggregated perspectives of all critical IT service metrics. If you have more than 10 devices, consider expanding your OI system by adding monitoring capabilities as your needs change and network grows.

Pulling It All Together
OI provides deep information into significant IT resources by using advanced discovery and polling technologies. It converts walls of data into actionable information through flexible reporting and intuitive mapping visualization.
While OI offers exceptional polling capabilities, to reach complete network and application performance management, you need the Network Instruments Observer Reporting Server (ORS). ORS is the powerful reporting engine that unifies our performance monitoring solution. It not only works with OI, but also with our complete line of passive network and application management solutions like Observer and the GigaStor long-term packet capture device.
When ORS is used with OI and GigaStor, you have even greater management IQ, including the ability to find the connection between seemingly unrelated service events. For example, if end users complain of poor response time, the ORS dashboard may show degraded IBM WebSphere® MQ health. But if you drill down within the WebSphere MQ, your servers show excessive CPU utilization – the root cause of the problem. These details are all stored within the GigaStor, but are easily accessed remotely with both ORS and our management console Observer.
