Opalis Integration Server Version 5.5 Now Available

Opalis Software has announced the immediate availability of Opalis Integration Server version 5.5. The new release includes unique capabilities for integrating and orchestrating IT processes within the data centre, and features the market's first operator console that delivers end-to-end automation with options for attended or unattended execution of workflows. The new Opalis Integration Server solution will enable enterprises to more effectively manage IT infrastructure complexity, free up strategic resources, reduce human error, and lower IT operational costs.

New features of the Opalis Integration Server 5.5 include:
• New Executive Dashboard – The new Opalis Integration Server version 5.5 executive dashboard increases business perspective and operational metrics by giving CIOs and IT executives a robust means of monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of IT processes, including status of critical processes, SLA attainment, and return on investment. These highly customisable dashboards allow tailored configuration to users' needs and provides rich drill-down capabilities, tracking of ROI key performance indicators, and a customisable interface.
• Operator's Console – Opalis is the first vendor to offer comprehensive automation with both attended and unattended automation choices. This Web-based Operator's console leverages the AJAX Web technology and provides users with a single view for automation across the entire enterprise, allowing them to interact directly with running automation. Visibility of "what's running now" allows for quick health indications of the system for increased uptime and performance.
• Enhanced Management Capability – The new Opalis Integration Server release also includes expanded capabilities for managing the most complex data centre environments, including new capabilities for managing multiple data centres from a single point of control and new multi-tenancy options designed to enable service providers to manage multiple customers from a single deployment.

Opalis delivers unique solutions that enable IT process automation inside and outside the data centre, across heterogeneous IT ecosystems. The Opalis solutions are easily implemented and quickly return value. Unlike traditional business services management, data centre automation, or IT service automation products from other vendors, Opalis employs a scalable 'enterprise services' architecture to automate processes and workflows for critical IT initiatives, such as virtualisation, provisioning, ITIL, disaster recovery, consolidation, and security.
