Today Jalasoft announced the release of Xian Wings V2.3 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2012. The new version ships with a new Xian Wings Server and brand new clients for Microsoft Windows Phone, Apple iOS and Android based tablets as well as phones.
This new version comprises many enhancements. The communication between the server and the clients has been refined and is now more efficient in terms of data usage, making it faster and more reliable. As of now, the smartphone clients also have a shell console from where commands can be executed directly on the server. Furthermore, the tablet client has been improved and now gives the user the ability to import dashboards directly from SCOM. and users can now copy/cut and paste widgets from one to another dashboard.

Today Jalasoft has released the latest version for Xian Network Manager. This new version (SP3) has several internal improvements and most visible one is adding support for SFlow. Let's have a look at the improvements:
SFlow monitoring:
SFlow support has been added so Xian NM can now properly receive and filter SFlow packets along with Netflow V5 and V9, so three of the most important and used flow technologies are supported and can be processed at the same time to generate alerts, performance graphs, and reports on OpsMgr related to the content of the network traffic.
New virtual center rules:
to monitor the data storages associated to ESX hosts and virtual machines.
Environmental sensor rules for Cisco routers and ASA devices:
to monitor the voltage, temperature, battery status, and more.
IP addresses resolving for Flow:
the engine can now properly resolve any public IP address into its domain name and improve the performance to make sure no delays are happening while translating these IP addresses into something users can understand when seeing the corresponding alerts or performance counters in the OpsMgr console.
Flow monitor service:
a new service has been included in Xian NM to explicitly monitor Flow data. This improves performance and functionality since it is now possible to have multiple Flow services installed and each of them can independently monitor Flow traffic from various sources and with independent databases, queues, and performance parameters.
SDK Loader:
a new connector module and improved OpsMgr SDK communication has been implemented exclusively for OpsMgr 2012 so performance and reliability when talking to OpsMgr has been greatly improved. For backward compatibility, if you install NM on OpsMgr 2007, the previous SDK communication is loaded but if it detects OpsMgr 2012, the new one is used, therefore the name.

During Microsoft TechEd North America in Houston, Jalasoft released the New SNMP device simulator v5. If you are joining TechEd this week, just visit their booth (#1440) and get 30-50% discount in your next purchase. Don't miss that one!
If you have to test your network or the SNMP tools you use to run it, you know that having the right devices at the right time is harder than the actual testing. Is your network heavily secured or too isolated for testing? Do you need to test a specific device for real world activity? Do you need a test lab with 1000 or more devices? No problem. We have your solution. Jalasoft’s SNMP Device Simulator V5, removes these challenges and gives you the power to dynamically simulate any SNMP device you need. Fast. Efficient. Easy.
Do you need to create a virtual network for yesterday? The SNMP Device simulator has you covered! The easy to use installation wizard and interface let you bring a simulated device online in under 5 minutes. Choose the device that you want to create, select the data your want to simulate, give it an IP address and press play. Changes in V5 allow you to run more than 1,000 simulated devices at one time from a single machine. Need more devices? Need to put a firewall between devices? Deploy the SNMP Device Simulator agents on different computers and manage them through a single console.
Simulate any network device through the Device Recorder feature
Ideal for testing with network devices that you don’t have in your test lab, the Device Recorder lets you mimic the behavior of any real SNMP device. Use the new Device Recorder feature to capture real world data and simulate the selected behavior as many times as needed, without putting your production network at risk.
Dynamic Simulation
The SNMP Device simulator grants users the option to perform a dynamic simulation or a normal simulation (the most basic type). The simulator uses a variety of formulas and statistical operations to generate dynamic values on the selected virtual devices, resulting in more realistic behavior. These values are also recorded on log files so they can be used later in the historical simulation mode.
Historical Simulation
Use the logs generated in a dynamic simulation to reproduce a precise behavior during a specific timeframe. With the Historical Simulation feature you can reproduce identical scenarios over and over again to changes to your tools, monitoring software or network configuration. This feature is ideal for tests that depend on identical data in changing environments.
IP Address Manager
This feature is a time saver that you’ll love! Imagine that you need to simulate 100 devices. With the IP Address Manager you no longer have to worry about manually creating IP addresses for all these devices. Instead, create individual IP addresses or a range directly from the simulator’s console, and apply them to the devices that you need to simulate.
Generate simulated devices from scripts You can access almost all V5 features without ever opening the console. This includes creating a new simulated device, loading recorded data to a device and stopping/starting device simulations. Save valuable time through automation and scripts!
Save simulation configurations
Need to create a simulation for your network switches? They are all the same model, but the ones in R&D are configured differently from the ones in Accounting. No problem. Using our templates as a base, load the base data, make the changes needed to match your environment and then same the custom configuration with one for “Switch – R&S” and one for “Switch – Accounting”. With the Save Configuration features, you customizations are waiting for you the next time you do a test or an audit.
