Overview
VMware vFabric™ Hyperic® is the application monitoring component
of the VMware vFabric Cloud Application Platform, enabling IT
professionals to manage the performance and availability of custom
Web applications in physical, virtual and cloud environments. Its
unique ability to automatically discover, inventory, and monitor
servers, regardless of type or location, enables application operations
teams to ensure that business-critical apps run without fail. Hyperic
collects a vast range of performance data—50,000 metrics across
75 application technologies—and is easily extended to monitor
any component in your application stack.

“vFabric Hyperic has given us the clarity and context to
keep applications running optimally, and it has done so
economically. vFabric Hyperic’s extensibility allows us to
correlate the performance of our customer-facing
applications with metrics collected throughout our
infrastructure – visibility that enables us to better
understand today’s challenges and plan for future change.
With vFabric Hyperic, we never need to guess about the
experience of our end users. We know exactly what it is.”
— Jason DeHaan, Deputy CIO City of Chicago, July 2009
As part of the VMware family of products, vFabric Hyperic provides
best-in-class performance monitoring of applications running in
virtualized environments. With its deep VMware vCenter™ integration,
Hyperic monitors your entire application infrastructure inventory,
from code components down to VMware ESX®, and continually
updates this inventory as virtual machines are started, stopped
and vMotioned. This eliminates reliance on chronically out-of-date
configuration management databases, and enables system
administrators to more rapidly pinpoint, correct and prevent
application performance problems wherever they occur across
physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures. Hyperic’s virtualizationaware alerting distinguishes between when a guest operating
system has shut down unintentionally, and when it has been
intentionally powered down or suspended. This prevents false
alarms and enables system administrators to scale down
application infrastructure without triggering alert storms.
Deep Functionality for Managing Complex
Web Applications
VMware vFabric Hyperic provides the automation and built-in
intelligence necessary for Web operations teams to manage
applications at scale. Designed to power scalable, secure Web
applications, Hyperic saves time and ensures comprehensive
management of business-critical services. vFabric Hyperic
features include:

Comprehensive Technology Support
Hyperic manages a broad range of products including application
servers, Web servers, databases, operating systems, hypervisors,
messaging servers and directory servers. Hyperic uses the native
management capabilities of the managed products, and can be
easily extended to cover more products through our Plugin
Development Kit (PDK)–usually with only a few lines of XML.
