40. SCOM vs. OpManager: Case study
Large enterprise in fashion industry
switches from SCOM+CA to OpManager for
managing thousands of servers.
33

41. 1000 servers
Monitoring the online store and its end-user
experience was the number 1 requirement
for this IT team. To ensure a healthy store
they had to monitor thousands of virtual
machines, networking devices, and storage
devices.
