AppManager® for Microsoft Windows
AppManager for Microsoft Windows (AppManager for Windows) is a core component in the AppManager Suite. This module offers support for multiple Windows platforms, including Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows XP, and Windows 2000.
The Business Problem
Managing critical IT services in Windows environments requires deep management knowledge of both the operating system and applications running in the environment. Legacy applications running in Windows NT environments must be supported, as well as emerging .NET applications on newer platforms. Managing all components, from an integrated platform, is critical for success in managing overall IT services.

Key Features and Benefits
- Provides proactive event management by detecting potential problems that could impact the availability of your Windows-based systems.
- Allows for easy automation, so you can easily set up event-driven actions—such as sending an email or a pager alert, generating an SNMP trap or running a corrective fix program—to execute automatically when a specific event occurs.
- Supplies performance reporting well beyond statistics provided by PerfMon counters. AppManager for Windows also provides prepackaged performance and Service Level Agreement (SLA) reports and stores performance data directly in a SQL Server database, making long-term trend analysis easy.
