BladeLogic, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLOG), a leading provider of next-generation data center automation software, announced today that it will host a webinar on Thursday, December 6th, 2007 at 11:30 a.m. (ET) entitled, “Turning Your Data Center into a Profit Center.” The format for the webinar will be an executive roundtable and will include the following presenters:

While companies realize they can cut costs through innovative software solutions, most commonly view IT as a necessary cost center. However, forward-thinking IT organizations are finding that by automating their data center management initiatives, they are not only becoming more productive, they are generating significant impact on the top line while controlling their bottom line. By enabling these organizations to increase server/administrator ratios, meet critical compliance requirements faster, and better align IT with the overall objectives of the business, data center automation is turning IT into a profit center.

In this groundbreaking webinar, Smith, Gathje and a senior-level executive from a leading supplier of defense systems will discuss what they have done to automate their data center environments and the business benefits they have experienced by doing so. These leading IT executives will share their data center automation insights and best practices that have led to key cost savings such as:

• Lower overall data center operations costs by improving server to administrator ratios

• Lower administration costs by consolidating tools and centralizing management of multi-vendor, multi-platform environments

• Lower costs associated with identifying, capturing and maintaining data center asset information

• Reduced maintenance costs through task automation and automated remediation

• Reduced provisioning costs by consolidating and centralizing all activities independent of platform

• Lower costs associated with compliance audits by enforcing compliance policies across regulatory, operations, standards, best practices and security perspectives

• Reduced deployment costs through increased accuracy of distributed application rollouts across environments

• Reduced service downtime costs by expediting rollback to the last consistent state

• Lower setup costs by automating existing manual and error-prone procedures
