EMC Perspective: Data Center Operational Excellence through Automated Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping

IT complexity, rapid change, fewer resources, and higher expectations have combined to shape a new, emerging reality for IT operations — the need for continuous IT operations excellence in data center environments. Data center operational excellence doesn't spontaneously happen on its own. To make it a reality, you need accurate, up-to-date data that you can use to underpin effective decision making, as well as enhance and improve processes and efficiencies. Without that information, you will likely make less-than-perfect decisions that place your business at risk.

This whitepaper discusses how you can achieve this operational excellence through automating your application discovery and dependency mapping, and do so on a continuous basis.
