The Orion Suite 3.0 leverages the Orion Platform, a modular and highly scalable platform that unifies data from multiple IT layers into an application-centric view.
The platform is designed to enable powerful, end-to-end hybrid IT management, deliver cloud visibility along with deep on-premises monitoring.
It incorporates a simple drag-and-drop dashboard to visualize infrastructure and application relationships, helping IT professionals monitor, troubleshoot, and improve performance across hybrid environments. It also provides the flexibility to add modules as needs grow.
Help Ensure Service Availability
Your business simply cannot afford to have your critical services interrupted, and these services rely on your network, systems, applications, virtualization, storage, and database all working in concert.
The Orion Platform brings visibility into all the elements of your critical services in order to manage them effectively.
Improve Operational Efficiency
Monitor and correlate data across the entire IT stack to help you meet your service level agreements and reduce monitoring efforts, so you can focus your activities where they really matter: deploying new services and improving end-user experience.
Consolidate Tools
The Orion Platform gives you one platform from one vendor, with a single pane of glass, and everything you need for end-to-end IT visibility.
Its modular architecture allows you to deploy what you want when you want it, all while consolidating metrics and data in one view, in context, with advanced alerts for faster root cause identification.
Optimize Business Service Delivery
The internet is down. I can’t get my mail. My phone connection is poor. You’ve heard them all before.
Users don’t care why, they just know that they cannot access critical applications.
Optimizing delivery of IT services with our business software will help to ensure the availability of critical services and keep the complaints to a minimum.
Automate IT Processes
As your environment grows in size and complexity, so too does the need for repeatable automated processes.
From simple backups to automated configuration changes, process automation can help reduce errors and lower costs by reducing downtime.
