GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition one stop IT monitoring for all Docker environments

GroundWork, Inc. (www.gwos.com), the leading Unified Monitoring solution for IT operations management and cloud monitoring, releases GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition, designed to deploy directly to existing Docker and other Linux container environments. GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition consists of GroundWork Monitor, GroundWork Cloud Hub and GroundWork BoxSpy making it the most comprehensive monitoring system for the container environment today.

GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition provides performance and availability monitoring for:

• Docker containers
• Linux containers
• OpenStack private cloud
• Amazon public cloud
• Hypervisors (VMware, KVM, RHEV-M, Hyper V)
• Virtual servers
• Applications
• Networks (including OpenDaylight SDNs)
• Storage
• Physical devices

GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition version is a complete, pre-packaged version of GroundWork optimised for running as a Docker container. This allows for:

• Quicker deployment
• Faster launch times
• Monitoring Docker environments when used with BoxSpy
• Gathers metrics for Docker host, containers, applications, hypervisor, HW, network and storage
• Monitoring other IT infrastructure outside of the Docker environment allowing for complete end-to-end visibility of your IT environment

For both development and production environments; using the same measuring tool in both locations for consistent apples to apples comparisons

“GroundWork Monitor Docker Edition is the natural complement to BoxSpy,” said David Dennis, VP of Marketing and Products for GroundWork. “Using both together provides a complete container-native solution for monitoring production Docker environments and related IT infrastructure.”

Robin Porter, Business Development Manager, Quru, comments: “We are delighted to be partnering with Groundwork, a market leading easy-to-deploy monitoring technology. When used with BoxSpy it monitors Docker environments, it’s also compatible with other monitoring tools and this means it can provide complete end-to-end visibility of the IT environment. We are getting strong interest from our clients about Docker in particular because companies such as Groundwork are demonstrating their confidence in this technology.”
