Infrastructure and Application Dependency Mapping
Creating line-of-sight visibility to your IT infrastructure resources - whether they are dedicated onsite resources or on-demand services provided by a public or hybrid cloud - is the first step in understanding the complex relationships that underlie your service delivery capabilities. A true and accurate picture of your infrastructure ensures optimum use of your scarce budget dollars - identifying unused and under/over-utilized resources - helping to eliminate waste and improve your return on investment.
But it's only part of the picture...
Most commercially available systems management tools
provide only a "physical" infrastructure view - showing
the physical port connections between servers, routers,
switches, storage devices, etc. A few tools have
extended their reach into the "virtual" world,
identifying hypervisors, virtual switches and ports, and
the like.
But very few tools have taken the next step of identifying the applications that are running in the IT environment - whether it be physical, virtual or a combination of both.
CPlane Surveyor gives you the complete picture!
CPlane Surveyor was designed for the "big picture" view. Our extensive data model combined with our unmatched device modeling (fingerprints) and multi-phase discovery, gives you the ability to identify and display not only the relationships between the application and its underlying infrastructure, but also the relationships and dependencies to other applications, databases, middleware and cloud services - providing a complete and holistic view of all the elements of your mission critical business systems.
It's this complete picture (integrated, "single pane of glass" view) that allows you to understand not only the relationships, but also the risks associated with your infrastructure and applications - a critical element in change and risk management. How many stories have you heard about the "production server under the engineer's desk"? Now you can prevent these identify and prevent these situations!
