New Relic Server Monitoring Solution Now Supports Windows

New Relic recently announced that its popular cloud-based application performance management solution, New Relic Server Monitoring is compatible with Windows server. Previously the solution only supported Linux environments.

San Francisco based New Relic is a provider of application performance management solutions. Based on software as a service (SaaS) model, New Relic's APM (News - Alert) solution can monitor applications that are running in cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments.

New Relic Server Monitoring has been designed to give the customers visibility into server resource utilization as well as deeper insight into cloud application performance, the company explained in a press release.

The support for Windows server enables developers and system administrators to monitor the health of their Windows servers free of charge. With this, more organizations will be able to utilize New Relic Server Monitoring solution for managing their critical business applications on the cloud.

System administrators and developers will be able to monitor the health of their Windows server machines, using this solution. Whether users are running a .NET (News - Alert) app or an app written in another language, New Relic’s Windows Server Monitoring provides visibility into the performance and health of their Windows servers, the company added in the release.

Providing an intuitive and easy to navigate UI, New Relic Server Monitoring allows the developers to drill down into critical resource aspects such as physical memory and disk I/O utilization. This capability proves to be especially valuable at the time of triaging performance issues across the entire system, according to the experts.

With a holistic approach, New Relic provides its users with the most comprehensive, end-to-end view of application performance from the browser to the app to the server in one single tool.

“New Relic Windows Server Monitoring completes the picture for us in quickly understanding the performance of our entire application stack,” said Tim Carruthers, vice president of engineering at Lattice-Engines, in a statement. “It provides an intuitive and easy to navigate UI, and allows us to drill down into critical resource aspects such as physical memory and disk I/O utilization. Being able to quickly access this data is critical to us not only when performing routine monitoring, but also when triaging performance issues across the entire system.”

New Relic Server Monitoring for Windows is automatically included in all New Relic editions at no extra cost. Customers will need to upgrade their agent to the latest release and follow the on-screen instructions for enabling these features.

Earlier this month the company announced that Datapipe (News - Alert), a global provider of managed services and infrastructure for outsourced IT and cloud computing, has added application performance management from New Relic to their portfolio of solutions and services.
