Delivering enterprise grade IT Operations without the enterprise price-tag

The FireScope FS-500 Series appliance delivers entry level Business Service Management, ideal for small, growing businesses or remote locations. Capable of managing up to 50* networked assets such as routers, servers and point solutions, the FS-500 can also integrate with up to 1,000 geographically dispersed FireScope appliances in a dedicated data-collection configuration to deliver world-wide BSM capabilities.

For small, rapidly growing businesses with few or no monitoring or systems management solutions in place, the FS-500 delivers all the core features needed to ensure high availability and performance of IT services, while the optional report pack arms IT leaders with accurate intelligence about how to strategically grow IT to meet the increasing demands of the business. And because the FS-500 is highly expandable, it can grow with your organization to continue to deliver value well after initial deployment.

Larger organizations with multiple remote locations can also realize enormous value from the FS-500 as it collects data from point of sale systems, printers, network equipment and applications running at remote locations, extending Business Service Management outside the data center to include your entire enterprise. This not only increases the agility and responsiveness of your IT staff, but increases the accuracy of long term planning by analyzing the business impact and utilization across the entire enterprise, from your critical servers down to client-facing kiosks, point of sale applications and other business-critical systems.

In the above diagram, an FS-500 is deployed at a branch office, containing up to 50 assets such as network equipment, core business applications, printers and servers. All data collected by the FS-500 is pushed up to an FS-2000 at corporate headquarters where it is aggregated with data collected by other FireScope appliances for truly global Business Service Management. Click any of the FireScope appliances in the diagram above for more information on that model.

* - FireScope does not charge a license fee per managed asset, nor is there a fixed limit to the number of assets managed per FS appliance. This number represents the recommended maximum number of assets managed by a single FS-500 without experiencing performance degradation, as determined by internal testing of the appliance.
