IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE IF YOUR CMDB WAS SERVICE-AWARE, ALWAYS UP TO DATE AND REQUIRED NO EFFORT TO KEEP UP. THAT’S THE POWER OF FIRESCOPE SECURE DISCOVERY AND DEPENDENCY MAPPING.
.
Organisations that attempt to track IT service configuration through manual efforts cannot keep up with the rapid pace of change and complexity in the modern data centre. This outdated or inaccurate configuration knowledge puts organisations at risk of repeated – and expensive – service outages caused by configuration errors and significant opportunities for increased efficiency are lost.
.
Secure Discovery and Dependency Mapping (SDDM)
FireScope Service Discovery and Dependency Mapping (SDDM) gives organisations a clear and timely view of IT Service configuration, automatically identifying the IT services that users are consuming, their infrastructure dependencies from applications down to the network, and continually refining this picture as infrastructure changes take place.
- Boost your confidence in configuration data by automating the mapping of your critical IT service and their dependencies, including application, physical and virtual elements.
- Decrease your workload, with automation, real-time discovery that eliminates the need to spend countless hours collecting configuration information and updating spreadsheets
- Learn more about your environment, with topology, network and API (VMware, AWS, etc.) discovery that adds deep configuration details.
- Stay up to date, with no need to wait for scheduled scans to detect change and comparison views of authorised configuration versus actual.
- Get all of IT on the same page, with integration with Cherwell Service Management CMDB that enables automatic population of service dependencies and asset configuration details.
- Reclaim under-utilised resources that no longer contribute to operational services.
- Simplify your life, with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery that offers value on day one, with no need to maintain a massive, dedicated infrastructure.
