Over the last 40 years the data center has undergone a tremendous evolution, from centralized, mighty mainframes to today's distributed computing.
While a distributed environment provides a great deal of computing freedom, it is also a major cause of increased complexity to the data center. Having the ability to freely select elements and quickly develop and deploy, keeps time to market very short, but comes at a substantial cost both in terms of greater operating expense and depth of knowledge.

Data center management comprises three major stages:

Know what happens

Automate response to known situations

Record what was done


SCP Systems Offering focuses on the first two stages. Candle Omegamon family of products forms the basis of our solution.

This solution encompasses all relevant platforms starting with mainframe component monitoring (VTAM, CICS, DB2) and moving to distributed computing elements, such as Oracle, DB2/UDB, and Lotus.
