Letter from Dave
I hear often from many of you & encourage comments on our blog and EM7 support center. I want to thank you for your well wishes, great ideas and suggestions on how we can serve you even better. As we enter 2009, we will continue to improve our products and drive innovative solutions that provide real value to your daily IT Operations. In lieu of printing and mailing cards, this year ScienceLogic is making a donation to Feeding America on behalf of our friends, customers and colleagues. We invite you to click on the link to learn more about Feeding America. I encourage everyone to consider the importance of giving back during a time when many are in need. Every $1 you donate to Feeding America helps provide 20 pounds of food and grocery products for needy families. Have a safe and happy holiday, and thank you for being a loyal supporter of ScienceLogic. I look forward to seeing you in the new year. Happy Holiday & Warm Regards,

Coming in 2009
The New Year is just around the corner and we’re eager to preview our plans for EM7 in 2009. Stay tuned for the news as we launch the next generation of EM7 Meta-Appliances to help enterprises and service providers simplify management of the new and expanded set of requirements and technologies needed for advanced virtualization and cloud computing initiatives. At the recent Gartner Data Center Conference, a third of respondents already use or plan to use external cloud services by 2009. By 2012, 65% plan to use external cloud services, and only 11% said they have no plans. It only confirms what we believed - we’re just seeing the beginning when it comes to cloud computing. Beyond an uptake by enterprise IT using external cloud services, we expect more EM7 service provider customers to leverage EM7 in their efforts to blur the lines between managed services and cloud computing. EM7 already includes features that service providers use to manage and expand their business, like multi-tenancy, bandwidth billing for network usage-based chargeback and branded customer portals. In 2009, we build upon that base to provide all customers the tools they need to manage their dynamic and rapidly changing computing environments.
Official Network Provider - InteropNet 2009
InteropNet is run by skilled engineers who staff and support the NOC and helpdesk. One dedicated alumni is Father Robert “Padre” Ballecer, who also hosts gadget @ The TechStop.net. He was so impressed with using EM7 at InteropNet that he did a full product evaluation. Check out the review for yourself. He calls EM7 “one of the best network management solutions on the market” and states “I mean it works. It really works. It really does what it’s supposed to do, and it does it better than any other product in the workspace.” We’re still a bit bemused when customers marvel that EM7 “just works”. It’s a cornerstone of our product philosophy here and something we believe everyone should expect and get from every product they buy.
On the Road Again
Thanks to everyone who has supported our efforts this year. We look forward to seeing you on the road in 2009.
