Working hard today as 10 years ago!

 

Detaching oneself from the Xian 10th year anniversary is really difficult, since the story of Xian is really the story about us. Several of the team members have started their professional careers and grown into different responsibility roles along the years, some have already switched teams or parted to different endeavors; however, our love for the solution that complements a Microsoft giant remains intact!

Xian NM for Microsoft Operations Manager is 10 years old this month and we are celebrating in a big way! Throughout this month you'll hear stories from the team that started it all, plus some customer testimonials, you'll see how Xian NM evolved later on to be the Xian Suite which encompasses our mobile solution Xian Wings and our SNMP Device Simulator. 

To top it of we are offering two very special promotions:

• 30% off on all our solutions until the end of September.
• a FREE full version of the SNMP Device Simulator valid for up to 10 devices ONLY on October 15th. On this date, you need to make sure to download our trial from our website so that we can send you a permanent license. 

Looking forward to continuing the hard work!


The Xian/Jalasoft Team

Straight from the lips of our CTO, Xian Wings HD for Android tablets is sure to rock your world!

Davor Pavisic, Jalasoft's CTO.

We sat down with our Chief Technology Officer, Davor Pavisic, during the weekend to have a chat about the upcoming release of Xian Wings HD for Android tablets and get a sneak peek on the new UI. We wanted to give our customers a heads up on what they should expect from Wings during the next few weeks and to show our new or potential customers all the benefits that our mobile solution offers, which can be defined in a few words,  “peace of mind”.  

Davor, what has Jalasoft been working on for the last few months in regards to Xian Wings?

[Davor] We’ve been working very hard on our new release of Xian Wings for Android tablets.   This may not sound that difficult to do; however, given that Android is used in a wide array of devices, it took us some time and hard work to adjust Xian Wings to work properly in this OS. Our Engineers have worked very hard on this version. It will be available very soon.

What do you think about the new UI?

[Davor] I love the new UI! It looks classy and professional but also fresh and contemporary; at the same time, it incorporates the intuitive and easy to understand approach that Xian Wings uses.

 Will this version be available for most brands of Android tablets?

[Davor]  Yes, Xian Wings for Android will be available for almost all brands of Android tablets.

Could you describe one of the features that you like the most in Wings for Android?

[Davor] The feature that I like the most, and the one that’s making the most noise among our customers, is our Remote Shell feature. It is now possible to run PowerShell commands directly from your iPad against the OpsMgr server or any another computer. This means that additional tasks or actions can be directly taken as a response to alerts received in OpsMgr and without the need to connect remotely to the computer that is experiencing the problem.

Well, there you have it, straight from the lips of our CTO. All Xian Wings enthusiast should be on the lookout for what’s coming in the following weeks. If you value your network, you don’t want to miss out on our new version of Xian Wings HD for Android tablets.

Summertime is Finally Here and Wings can help!

Summertime is finally here! And with it, vacation time as well! We all love having time off of work so we can concentrate on what really matters in life, family and friends. We use this time of the year to reconnect with our families and spend quality time catching up on all the different events and happenings that went on throughout the year. It’s a good opportunity to give the wife or husband the attention that he /she deserves and is always demanding from you, but you can’t deliver because you’re always busy with work related stuff. So take this time to relax and enjoy being as far away from the office as possible. 

But let’s be real for a minute, have you ever felt that you could not take your mind off work completely because you’re worried about something critical for your organization which you’re in charge of? If you’re a system administrator, you know the feeling all too well, thinking that you left the new guy to watch over your companies’ OpsMgr environment, which potentially houses hundreds of dollars in network devices and infrastructure. There’s just no way to shed the thought of something going completely awry and collapsing the network that you spent hours monitoring and keeping up and running. 

You might think that there’s no hope for you out there and that you’ll never really be able to disattach yourself from work completely. Well, we’re happy to tell you that you’re wrong! We have an amazing mobile solution for smartphones and tablets that supports all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and can help you keep an eye on your network from wherever you are, the beach, the spa, the hotel pool, anywhere where you can find an internet connection. Our mobile solution for SCOM called Xian Wings, allows you to have all the functionality of Operations Manager directly on your mobile device or tablet. Xian Wings offers you the ability to receive real time alerts, graph performance data, manage state changes and execute system tasks against managed servers you can even run power shell commands directly from your device. 

If you think about it, we’re giving you something more than just a mobile console for OpsMgr, we’re giving you security and peace of mind so you can concentrate on the things that most of us take for granted and leave unattended for far too long; Family, friends and yourself. If you’d like to participate in an online demonstration of Xian Wings or would like to try it on your own mobile devices, please reach out to us at (www.sales@jalasoft.com) we’ll be happy to help!
