First aid for SAP systems Many long-term theGuard! ApplicationManager customers and users have approached us with the suggestion that we create guidelines that would outline the most common and most important situations in SAP Basis operation. We followed this suggestion and compiled the experience gained in numerous projects conducted over the past ten years in a small reference guide. We are planning to update the information annually. We hope that these guidelines will serve as a valuable companion no matter whether you are looking for an overview of operational issues or a reference guide to deal with crises.

Three packages for optimum system performance

REALTECH has developed three different software packages that allow you to customize and automate the monitoring of your system landscapes. Each of the packages can be deployed individually.

The "Management Pack for SAP-Monitoring" is an integration solution for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007. It now allows Microsoft users to effectively monitor their SAP systems as well.

The "Monitoring Pack for IT-Systems" allows small administration teams to manage their heterogeneous system environments. Up to 50 servers can be monitored. The package is available at a price of €5,000.

The "Tuning Pack for SAP Solution Manager" adds automatisms to the default monitoring functionality of SAP Solution Manager that guarantee maximum efficiency in SAP operation. This package is available at a price of €790 per SAP instance.

The latest release of theGuard! ApplicationManager guarantees an implementation period of just five days for the SAP monitoring for any application landscape based on SAP NetWeaver. Its optimized concept for the distribution of software components makes the implementation of theGuard! ApplicationManager 4.0 even faster and more efficient.

The solution expands the functions of the SAP CCMS standard and of SAP Solution Manager. The installation, maintenance, and individual configuration of the REALTECH data collectors can be accomplished from a single interface for all SAP systems in a matter of no time.

Ready-made monitoring packages are now part of the solution. These include all settings and parameters necessary to reliably monitor entire systems, from the operating system to the database to the ABAP and Java-based applications. These packages can be easily distributed across the IT landscape using drag and drop. This simplifies and accelerates the performance analysis and the verification of SAP service levels in large and complex system environments.

Prices for theGuard! ApplicationManager 4.0 start at €9,950.
