SpringSource Hyperic, the leading provider of web application performance monitoring and management software, today announced that Coremetrics, the leader in marketing optimization, has deployed SpringSource Hyperic HQ Enterprise to monitor and manage its large and complex IT environment. SpringSource Hyperic HQ offers the most complete solution and experience for large scale web infrastructure and mission-critical applications.

More than 1,900 online brands ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies, and industries spanning retail to finance, rely on Coremetrics’ advanced online analytics and integrated marketing optimization applications. Coremetrics’ success and customer satisfaction depends on running its suite of online applications smoothly. For this reason, the company needed a single web operations management solution to provide deep visibility into application performance within its fully hosted, multi-tenant SaaS environment, as well as a wide breath of monitoring support across all infrastructure technologies.

Coremetrics selected SpringSource Hyperic HQ Enterprise to monitor and manage their entire web infrastructure. SpringSource Hyperic HQ’s ease of implementation, customization and extensibility were a perfect fit for the Coremetrics team, who wanted a complete infrastructure platform that allowed them to build, run and manage their business.

“No business wants to waste valuable resources trying to fit a square peg in a round hole to adapt their environment to fit the narrow capabilities of their monitoring tool,” said Javier Soltero, CTO of management products for SpringSource. “SaaS vendors like Coremetrics need monitoring and management flexibility to quickly react to changes in their dynamic environments. We’re pleased that we have been able to help Coremetrics manage its IT infrastructure so that they can proactively plan as their business grows.”

Instead of requiring manual configurations to account for changes in the IT environment, SpringSource Hyperic HQ’s auto-discovery capabilities allow Coremetrics to automatically add resources and software to its database as they are entered into the system. Moreover, HQ tracks the software inventory, meaning that anytime there is a change in the system it automatically alerts Coremetrics’ operations team, ensuring that they are always informed and prepared.

Coremetrics also relies on SpringSource Hyperic HQ’s customizable metrics collection to use collected information for capacity planning. Around the holidays, for example, Coremetrics’ retail customers experience activity spikes. Not only does SpringSource Hyperic HQ offer Coremetrics clear insight into what is happening in the present, but Coremetrics can also forecast traffic patterns and allocate future resources based on SpringSource Hyperic HQ’s historical trending capabilities. This ensures that Coremetrics always maintains high standards of reliability and service for its customers.

“SpringSource Hyperic HQ has allowed us to grow and evolve our business with total confidence that we will continue to deliver exceptional service levels to our customers,” said Rhylan Rowe, manager of system operations at Coremetrics. “Having HQ in our system is like having another member of our operations team that is always vigilant about ensuring that our systems are performing exactly as they should.”
