| Who's Using Managed
Objects in the Government Sector?
Government organizations like the Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA), the National Institutes of
Health and the U.S. Army have turned to Managed Objects to tackle a
number of different challenges facing their organizations —
from regulatory compliance to delivering higher quality IT
services. In each case, Managed Objects solutions not only provided
measurable ROI but also leveraged the technology investments they'd
already made to improve service availability and performance
– as well as cut costs.
In addition, the U.S. Southern Command
(Southcom), the Department of Energy, and a member of the
intelligence community have chosen Managed Objects to improve their
ability to measure their IT operation's effectiveness and ensure
their mission's success.

United States Army — At the U.S. Army uses
Managed Objects products to integrate management data from across
its complex global infrastructure. The software provides
situational awareness views of their networks and systems and
supports their NETCROP capability. Now, IT staff and officers have
custom views that tell them if they're mission-ready - and if not,
what to fix first.

National Institutes of Health — At the NIH
Center for Information Technology (CIT), Managed Objects is the
core technology used to deliver a real-time application
availability and performance dashboard. Managed Objects is the core
integration and correlation technology and service level management
solution that provides IT management with a real-time dashboard for
the critical shared applications delivered across all 27 institutes
that comprise the National Institutes of Health. Managed Objects
does all of this by richly integrating in real-time to multiple
system management tools and data sources across the CIT
infrastructure to provide end-to-end application views. This award
winning dashboard continues to be a critical tool used by CIT IT
management.

Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
— At the outset of the project, DISA had several DECC's
(Defense Enterprise Computing Centers) but lacked a comprehensive
real-time, end-to-end understanding of the state of the operation
and the ability to manage its shared infrastructure by customer
application. By using Managed Objects to integrate information from
the various management tools at these remote locations,
customer-specific pictures of DISA's computing infrastructure was
created. This information was then further refined to provide a
real-time reporting capability to further enhance the requirement
to meet designated service
