Voyence Demonstrates “Closed Loop” Management System With HP Openview At HP Software Universe 2005

Acropolis Congress Center, Booth# 50

According to a recent report from Enterprise Management Associates, a leading industry analyst firm, 60 percent of infrastructure problems are caused by misconfigured devices. This integration provides a “closed loop” management system, allowing customers to not only measure and analyze the root cause of a particular problem, but to also accurately update and change misconfigured devices and infrastructure that may actually be at the heart of the problem.

In addition, the integration will help support strategic compliance initiatives, providing IT directors and senior management with clear visibility into whether or not networked infrastructure, which serves as the foundation of today’s mission critical business services, is actually secure and complying with critical standards.

The Voyence integration enables HP OpenView users to receive VoyenceControl-generated, real-time notification of configuration changes including planned, authorized and unauthorized events. This valuable information empowers IT managers with an in-depth view into recent changes, enabling them to:

• Easily map recent configuration changes to compliance-related policies.
• Instantly restore network devices to a previous “working” configuration in just a few clicks.

Additional Integration Benefits Realized

• Improved Root-Cause Analysis – IT managers may now correlate faults and performance degradation with configuration change events to prevent future outages by adjusting configuration standards and change management practices.
• Strengthen Network Security – Streamline and automate the deployment of security patches, roll passwords and access control lists.
• Decrease Risk – Obtain immediate access to configuration information to restore failed devices.

“This integration presents our joint customers with a tightly integrated management solution,” said Susan Nash, Voyence’s CEO. “Voyence’s automated configuration management and HP’s OpenView capabilities are a natural fit. By joining these two technologies, customers will benefit from a very powerful solution that will offer a view into the health of today’s IT infrastructure and directly correlate it to the availability of critical business services.”
