Because FireScope is portlet-based, it supports virtually any and all kinds of JSR-168 compliant monitoring, analytical, collaborative and reporting tools. Integrated into the solution is a suite of message boards, wikis, shared bookmarks, blogs, RSS feeds and more, to give IT operators powerful connections to internal/external shared knowledge. Sophisticated analysis of system and application logs provides instant identification of only those events IT managers need to be aware of.

As for reports and alerts, FireScope identifies specific, actionable issues and performance thresholds, giving users complete control over when and how it notifies IT staff, logs events for compliance reporting, or executes code on the device in question.

FireScope was designed by senior IT executives who, as front-line IT staffers, were frustrated with the quality of IT operations management products available. “The FireScope team understands what works and what doesn’t,” said Lynd. “We believe FireScope is the fastest, most comprehensive, most powerful, yet intuitive and easy-to-use product on the market.”
