Complying with government and regulatory standards, as well as the policies and standards of the organization, has never been more critical. To protect themselves from criminal penalties and multimillion dollar fines, executives at the highest levels of business need to feel confident that their organization is meeting all requirements, and they should insist on reporting that gives them the broad view of all the compliance concerns with up-to-the minute accuracy. EMC Ionix Network Configuration Manager (formerly VoyenceControl) provides the advanced reporting capabilities required by top-ranking corporate executives. Compliance reports summarize and present the complete compliance picture using presentation-quality graphics and push-button convenience.

Continual availability and reliability of business services is crucial to the success and even the survival of today’s organizations.. Most, If not all, of these business services are provided and serviced over the corporate network. If the consistency of the underlying network infrastructure is not maintained, those services become unreachable and unavailable. Enterprise Management Associates states that between 60 to 80 percent of service-affecting network outages are caused by change, so organizations must control how change happens in the network and develop efficient ways to roll out changes that negatively impact service availability. Network Configuration Manager has been designed specifically with this task in mind. Change management follows ITIL-compatible process and regulates who can change what and when, as well as what changes must be approved by whom. Plus, all changes are audited for compliance with corporate policies and standards, as well as and government and other regulatory standards.

Most businesses live and thrive on the margin between the cost of providing a service and what can reasonably be charged for it. Automation provided by Network Configuration Manager reduces the time spent on network configuration tasks from minutes per device to minutes per network, so commonly executed task such as credential rolls, ACL updates and OS updates can be done in a fraction of the time manual processes take. This mean the same staff can be leveraged over many more devices without growth in headcount.
