Designed to work with EM7 G3, the EM7 Integration Server provides a simple, elegant and powerful tool to customize and automate data center and private cloud monitoring. Using REST web services APIs that are delivered in a hardened appliance, the EM7 Integration Server enables true business agility by putting the power in the hands of any organization's engineers to integrate monitoring with other management tools or even business systems – aligning IT with the business quickly and easily.

The best way to describe the power of the Integration Server is to show an actual use case. Whether you are a service provider, and enterprise, or a government agency, transforming your IT operations to a private cloud is something you've already done, you're planning to do or you're considering doing. Here's a short animation on how the Integration Server completes your private cloud monitoring story via automated monitoring provisioning and data integration with third-party billing systems and customer portals.

If you've worked with other management integration APIs available today, you know the challenges.

Watch the animation: EM7 simplifies data center, private cloud and
public cloud monitoring in a single solution.

• Most APIs are limited to specific programming languages
• To cover all the management applications that EM7 includes already integrated in a single solution, other management toolsets require expertise in multiple programming languages because the APIs are cobbled together from what were originally separate products with their own design and programming standards. This is the same old problem with Big 4 solutions – they are a product set that was pulled together over time - but never integrated - by a large company buying the technology of smaller companies. The result is a solution, and in this case, a set of APIs that were never intended to work together to begin with.
• And finally management APIs are often complex, poorly documented and hard-to-use. You know which ones we're talking about.

The EM7 Integration Server was designed using REST to eliminate these functionality and usability issues.

• EM7 APIs are able to be used by applications written in any modern programming language, e.g., Java, Python, PHP, Perl, C#, etc.
• Engineers themselves choose what language to use to call the APIs – so while the Integration Server supports multiple languages, it does not require engineers to do so.
• Because they're built using REST, the EM7 APIs are self-documenting and easy to use.
