BRUNSWICK, Maine and PLEASANTON, Calif. - July 18, 2013 - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today will preview the Xen virtualization support in OpManager, its network performance management and data center monitoring software, and in Applications Manager, its application performance monitoring solution. The move lets application developers and IT operations teams in large enterprises monitor Citrix Xen hosts and virtual machines (VMs) for availability, performance and XenMotion activity. Live demonstrations of Xen support in Applications Manager and OpManager are available at http://demo.appmanager.com:9095 and http://xendemo.opmanager.com, respectively.

ManageEngine made today's announcement at the Virtualization Technology Users Group (VTUG) Summer Slam 2013 being held today in Brunswick, Maine. A sponsor of the event, the company will demonstrate the forthcoming Xen features in Applications Manager and OpManager. In addition, ManageEngine's Rakesh Inbaraj will lead a breakout session, "Application Visibility - A Recipe for Conducting Successful Virtualization Projects," at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.

Dev Anand, director of product management at ManageEngine, said, "Though initially adopted only by service providers and hosting providers, Citrix XenServer has emerged as a staple in small and medium enterprises in recent years. OpManager and Applications Manager already support VMware and Hyper-V servers, and adding XenServer monitoring support to the mix was the next logical step in our hypervisor coverage."
