“HipCheck empowers sys admins with a rules-based engine to identify and specify the thresholds that are critical to monitoring the health of mission-critical systems,” said Sandy Gupta, CTO and general manager of the platforms division, SCO. “The HipCheck service uses a callout architecture that alerts users of triggering events. This is an extensible framework that can be used to manage various business processes, applications and systems health management.”

The HipCheck mobile service taps into a powerful backend server technology called the EdgeClick Mobility Server which acts as the service engine for quickly distributing key information to smart handheld devices. This benefits system administrators with a fast, easy-to-use mobile service from their device while providing a rich user experience through access to backend data.

“HipCheck is currently being deployed to help manage more than a dozen BIS and customer servers,” said Michael Macho, premier partner of Me Inc.mobile services and vice president of BIS Computer Solutions, mobile division, Mobile BIS. “The capabilities of HipCheck will give BIS greater ability to monitor and control our customers Windows and UNIX systems and provide a greater level of customer service with even faster response to their needs. When a customer needs us to instantly bring up a server, add a user or warn them of the imminent threat of a system failure, HipCheck will be the application that provides that real-time, automated access right from our mobile device.”
