ANALYST FEEDBACK

"Offering the most detailed configuration management
capability of any vendor, BladeLogic Operations Manager
models services and configuration elements across platforms.
Services can be composed of elements like vendor packages,
specific parameters in configuration files, Windows registry
settings, .Net, and J2EE components. BladeLogic excels at
building new servers and applications based on these models
or scanning and repairing out-of-whack servers, where other
vendors must perform binary comparisons or file-level checksums." |

and integrates data center operations in a way that can

levels of compliance. With more than 150 customers and four
rounds of venture funding to its credit, BladeLogic has

"BladeLogic’s strength in server provisioning
and configuration management/change control is the reason
why the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is central
to BladeLogic’s approach, because in order to properly
provision and configure servers, up-to-date inventory information
is essential. BladeLogic's focus is on providing secure
and centralized management for server provisioning, change
control, compliance, and analytics, all of which depend
heavily on configuration information." |

"The latest version of BladeLogic Operations Manager
software adds role-based access, increases the available
level of granularity, opens the API and adds compliance
features to help customers adhere to Sarbanes-Oxley, the
regulation that requires companies to document and assess
reliability of their internal controls." |
