PETERBOROUGH, England, November 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Halcyon Software, the global leader in systems management software, has announced the latest release of its iPhone app which now offers full support for the Japanese language.  This easy to use app enables IT support staff to remotely access the Halcyon Enterprise Console using iPhones or iPads. The new mobile version of the Enterprise Console provides a dashboard of all alerts in a single view and has the same level of functionality as the desktop version enabling issues or problems to be quickly resolved from any location around the clock.

According to Donnie MacColl, Technical Services Director of Halcyon Software:  "We have developed this new mobile solution to enhance the functionality of our systems management software and improve the productivity and efficiency of IT support staff who often have to work remotely. The new app allows them to manage their vital IT systems, even when they are in meetings or travelling, and demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative solutions to keep essential IT infrastructures and critical business processes operating at peak performance levels."

Halcyon Software's new app is free to download from the iTunes App Store and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.  It provides Japanese users with a portable view of their whole IT systems environment, regardless of operating platform.  Remote access to the Halcyon Enterprise Console delivers all system alerts, SNMP traps, devices and system status messages in real-time to these mobile devices.

This announcement follows the October 2012 launch of Halcyon Software's new Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) systems management solution that supports the Japanese language for the IBM i platform.  This powerful solution also interfaces with recognized Open Source systems such as Security Information Event Managers (SIEM), Log Amalgamators, IBM Tivoli, HP OpenView, CA Unicenter, BMC Patrol and any Syslog or SNMP compliant system.
