The PimpMy for SoftGrid Real Time Monitoring package adds a key missing management capability for the SoftGrid Virtual Application Server – real time management visibility. A VAS typically supports up to about 8000 users, and yet no information is available regarding the number of current users or key performance affecting parameters. PimpMy for SoftGrid Real Time Monitoring Package adds a light weight monitoring service that captures this missing information and provides an open interface to make this information available to other tools. The package includes a Windows Presentation Foundation based Graphical Monitor for the SoftGrid farm, as well as a Management Pack for Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager 2007. In addition, the monitoring service provides an open interface that may be used to integrate into other third party Management Products.

This Package supports a wide range of SoftGrid versions from both Softricity and Microsoft, including 4.0, 4.1, 4.1 with SP1, 4.2, 4.1SP1 with HFRP1, 4.2 with HFRP1, and the 4.5 Beta. It should also work with SoftGrid 3.x versions and the full 4.5 release. The software is licensed directly by TMurgent, and a free 30 day trial is available via the TMurgent website.

TMurgent intends to release additional packages under the PimpMy for SoftGrid line that match the full capabilities demonstrated in the Beta. The next package is expected to extend the application and package management.
