Operations Manager
Discovery Manager
To manage today's rapidly expanding server environments, administrators need a real-time, comprehensive inventory of all server and application configuration elements. Traditional inventory and asset management solutions store a sub-set of configuration information in a database, resulting in data that is inherently stale and incomplete, often weeks or months old.
BladeLogic Discovery Manager, a component of the BladeLogic Operations Manager suite of data center automation products, allows IT organizations to browse configuration data for servers and application services in real-time. The information gathered is extremely granular and includes packages, patches, files, registries, configuration file parameters, and .NET and J2EE components. BladeLogic Discovery Manager also allows the tracking of changes to configuration elements over time.
BladeLogic customers have lowered their operating costs by using Discovery Manager to automate:
- Discovery of servers, end points, applications, network devices, their configuration parameters, and service dependencies in real-time
- Reporting on live, historical inventory, and change tracking trends
- Generation of dependency maps showing relationships across applications and discovered devices for impact analysis
- Tracking usage-demand trends for applications
- Continuous, real time monitoring of server and application dependencies
- Impact assessment of changes on servers and applications
- Discovering custom applications, their dependencies, utilization and performance metrics
- Populating a CMDB for use as a foundation for best practices service management processes
