Operational Efficiency
Managing configuration changes is critical to ensuring that an IT infrastructure operates effectively and cost efficiently. Network availability and performance problems are associated with configuration shift and drift. Even when planned, changes often cause system failures because IT lacks visibility into the configurations and their complex dependencies to business needs and compliance requirements. These systems and processes must be supported by a capable set of underlying IT management tools, ones that are designed to deliver comprehensive configuration data along with a simple mechanism for remediation.
The ECM Console
Single Click to fixECM is the most comprehensive configuration management solution on the market today. ECM pinpoints machines on your network that do not match the policy recommended by the vendor, the industry, or your organization as a "Best Practice" and provides an easy way to fix the problem. With ECM, your organization will no longer need separate systems management and security compliance tools for Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms.
Because ECM can touch one, one thousand, or any number of your machines, it can automate mundane, time-consuming tasks. Whether it's rollback of planned or unplanned changes, deploying a security patch, closing vulnerability by enforcing configuration values, or even removing a software application, ECM easily accomplishes the task with a single click – directly within your report.
Obviously, this type of change capability is powerful, but it can also be dangerous. So, ECM allows you to define a user's access to machines, data and change capabilities. With powerful functionality safely guarded, your most capable Administrators can easily perform periodic (i.e.,weekly or monthly) remediation in minutes instead of hours or days.
ECM's dashboards and reports provide enterprise-level visibility into the configuration of your systems. This information helps focus IT decisions and subsequent effort into efficient and effective action.
