Waltham, MA, January 30, 2006—BladeLogic, Inc., the leading provider of data center automation software, announced that it will host a webinar tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. (ET) entitled, “Designing & Implementing an Actionable Configuration Management Database (CMDB).” The presenters will include Dennis Drogseth, Vice President of Enterprise Management Associates, and Vick Viren Vaishnavi, Director of Product Marketing for BladeLogic.

The notion of a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) remains a confusing and sometimes even arcane topic to many in the enterprise management industry today. However, the CMDB as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) characterizes it, is rapidly growing in importance to IT organizations as it can provide a core enabling capability to promote more cohesive service management, or as ITIL defines it – IT Service Management (ITSM).

In this webinar, Drogseth and Vaishnavi will examine critical parameters of CMDB design and adoption in order to help IT planners better assess solutions in context with some of the most critical issues surrounding CMDB implementations. Some of the topics that will be covered in the webinar include:

• CMDB Design and Implementation Issues
• The Federated CMDB Model
• Issues in Data Integration and Reconciliation
• Standards Directions and Requirements
• Best Practices for Designing an “Actionable” CMDB for
Server & Application Management
