This has been a good year for Metron-Athene. We have expanded our team of professional
people and focussed on feeding back the ideas from the customers into producing
our expanding range of Capacity Management tools. The use of agile development with its
fortnightly goal setting has helped to achieve a quicker turnaround in a fast
changing environment. The comments, by
customers, on our new offerings continue to be complimentary.
The major deliverable of this approach this year has been
our Integrator module. This enables any
data to be imported into the capacity database at the heart of our Athene
software. That data is then available
along with any other data captured using Athene’s agents, agentless or framework
interface capture modules for use by the extensive analysis, reporting and
planning facilities that Athene provides.
Many Integrator ‘Capture Packs’ already exist for areas such as network,
storage, application performance monitoring and more. New ones can be quickly and easily created by
Metron or Athene users via the easy-to-use Integrator browser interface. As with so much in modern life the key is
flexibility – Integrator adds to the already wide range of Athene data capture
options to enable all capacity data to be stored in and used from one database
with one toolset.
The economic background has been challenging and there seems
to be no enthusiasm from the political leaders.
In our market what is foremost is the improvement of the usability of
information at a reducing cost. This
almost defines Athene. When companies
are facing tough challenges a cost saving product is very popular.
Thank you to all our staff, customers and partners who work
with us. I hope that you have a very
happy holiday and return refreshed and enthusiastic.
