INTRODUCTION
The emerging network application is a type of software that utilise the internet and other type of
network hardware infrastructure to perform different functions. The network application is an efficient
for purpose of monitoring to identify entire processes. This essay will discuss about the OpManager
applications such as AppOptics by Solarwinds and Site24x7. This report will describe about the
application while emphasizing main features of OpManager applications.
TASK 1
AppOptics by Solarwinds
It is based on the tool or platform that brings application and infrastructure for monitoring the
overall process through dashboards. It should be monitored the infrastructure and application metrics
side by side.
Real time network Monitoring:
In context of real time, AppOptics resolve problem for developer where it provide monitoring
solution that easily visualise and trace level of programming by using root cause analysis (Wei and et.al.,
2017) On the other hand, it simply easy to use infrastructure monitoring to build various type of
integration so as customer easily extend solution or leverage. In this way, AppOptics provide real time
visibility for collecting high metric and trace transaction details.
Physical and Virtual Server Monitoring:
AppOptics application is monitoring the performance of entire cloud native and hybrid
infrastructure and quickly determine hotspots, heat map container and other multidimensional filtering
etc. it is the best way to visualize physical and virtual server for identifying performance resolution of
entire network system (Hassan, Appiah-Kubi and Chou, 2017). Sometimes, it is becoming challenges for
AppOptics for Monitor physical and virtual server so that they are hosts the machines for dedicated to
provide services in proper manner.

Social technical principles of AppOptics application:
The core social technical principles of AppOptics OpManager application is to create several open
source communities which create sustainable instrumentation. It also ensures that cloud native
technology is properly observable (Hernantes, Gallardo and Serrano, 2015). On the other hand, it should
be included the scalability and simplicity through technologies for improving performance. Many people
use the application for purpose of network monitoring because of their reliability which convenient for
people to easily monitor and manage large analysis.
Site24x7
Site24x7 is a web application monitoring software which is used to monitor network
infrastructure from cloud.
Real Time Network Monitoring
It is used to continuously monitor the network of an organization in real time and report
network performance (Udanor and Oparaku, 2016). Device performance snapshot can be monitored
under details page. All the required system specifications and its details are displayed under device
performance. It helps in displaying real time network device performance with response time and
average value. It also helps in displaying packet loss percentage for network device in real time.
Physical and virtual server monitoring
Site24x7 can be used for both physical and virtual server monitoring. Site24x7 VMware
Monitoring is used to provide deep monitoring and simultaneously also helps in managing cloud, virtual
and physical components of IT heterogeneous environment. It helps in providing valuable information
related to virtual server’s performance and also monitors virtual hosts configured in those servers.
Other than virtual server monitoring it is also used for physical server monitoring as well. It
helps in monitoring entire organizations server infrastructure and also provides in depth performance
indicators for physical servers. Other than this it also provides various other server monitoring features
such as: database servers, email monitoring, scheduling, patch management and various others.
Discuss the socio technical principles OpManager adheres to
Socio technical principles that Site24*7 adhere are: it focuses on adhering trust service principle
criteria in order to maintain security of the devices. This principle focuses on securing the system against
unauthorized access (Hernantes, Gallardo and Serrano, 2015). Make system available for operation and
use it as committed or agreed. Maintains system processing integrity. Information designed is
confidential and protected. It also accept all kinds of privacy principles so that personal information
collected or used is kept confidential. It helps in creating an open source social community as well.

TASK 2
Main Features of AppOptics by Solarwinds
 Visualise and trace application from bottlenecks: It mainly provide the real time view which
easily distributed application for collecting high fidelity metrics. In this way, it is considered as a
powerful monitoring capability which enables to easily detect errors.
 Support Board APM: It is mainly supporting the set of language which immediate improve
visibility for simple instrumentation.
 Alerting and management for AppOptics: It easily eliminating the defect and errors in between
infrastructure metrics and application which allows for user to combine overall monitoring
system in single view. It also generating an alert message.
 Cost-effective scale for business purpose: It is mainly supporting the overall flow of business
while AppOptics tool designed to develop IT environment.
Main features of OpManager Site24*7
There are various features that are made available to the users by Site24*7 such as:
 It provides network monitoring facility to the users where users can monitor server, check
bandwidth, internet usage monitoring, network resource management, network diagnosis etc.
 Application performance management in which root cause diagnosis, server performance, resource
management, baseline manager, full transaction diagnosis, trace individual transaction features are
provided.
 Artificial Intelligence in which chatbots, multi-lingual, predictive analysis and workflow/process
management are provided.
 Cloud management in which performance analytics, cost management, SLA management, multi-
cloud management features are provided to users.
 Log management in which features such as Syslog, web logs, event logs, thresholds are provided to
users.
 Server management in which CPU Monitoring, Database servers, Event Logs, Patch Management,
User Activity Monitoring, Virtual Machine Monitoring, Scheduling, History Tracking, email
Monitoring are provided to users.
 Website monitoring in which Alerts/Notifications, Event Logs, Mail Server Monitoring, Performance
Metrics, Availability Testing, Transaction Monitoring, FTP Monitoring, Maintenance Scheduling, Real
Time Monitoring, Uptime Reporting are provided to users.

CONCLUSION
In above discussion, it concluded that emerging network application is considered as a software
that mainly useful for managing overall network infrastructure. It has summarised about the different
OpManager application and identifying its main features.
