CloudKick Adds Hybrid On-Premise / Cloud Monitoring

CloudKick , the cloud monitoring startup has just announced the availability of CloudKick Hybrid. The Hybrid product allows admins to monitor both on-premise and cloud server in a single control panel.

CloudKick’s  monitoring  tool is web-based and tracks load, CPU, bandwidth, and memory. It can also run  diagnostics tests and send SMS and email alerts when thresholds are breached. Using CloudKick Hybrid, admins could monitor the performance across several cloud hosts (such as AWS, Rackspace or GoGrid) from one central web console. With the addition of CloudKick Hybrid, on premise severs can also be monitored from the same console.

Currently CloudKick is primarily a monitoring tool but it has demoed cloud mobility solutions which allow admins to seamlessly transfer apps between cloud services from the CloudKick management console.
