The MOM Team is pleased to announce the MOM 2005 Summary Reporting Pack - English

The MOM 2005 Summary Reporting Pack extends the MOM data warehouse to provide long term reports on performance metrics and alerts based on weekly and daily summarization of data. Key reports include Exchange resource and protocol utilization, AD disk utilization and replication latency, OS performance, and generic summary reports for performance counter analysis, alert counts, and alert resolution times. The Summary Reporting Pack increases the performance and reduces the storage resources required for long term reporting with the MOM data warehouse.

The usual patterns for collecting long-term performance, event, and alert data in a common MOM 2005 deployment causes the data warehouse to grow to hundreds of GB sooner than the 395 day standard grooming interval. As a result, report generation time is adversely affected. It also makes the data warehouse less manageable from a pure size perspective.

Core Functionality

· Aggregates existing and new MOM 2005 data warehouse performance and alert data to provide daily and weekly summary data

· New reports for viewing aggregated data

· Allows customers to drastically reduce the volume of raw data in the data warehouse thus reducing the size requirements by up to 90%

· Allows customers to generate long-term reports based on a much smaller number of data rows thus satisfying the customer expectation that the Reporting Console is interactive
