Business Challenge
IT organizations need to collect configuration items (CI) and CI relationship data to populate and maintain the CMDB. They need to identify assets and how they are configured. Today's number of IT components, their configurations, relationships between them, and the constant changes introduced by business and technology needs makes manual tracking difficult. It is impractical and costly to conduct manual audits and maintain IT service relationship and application dependency mapping information.
Business Need
- Auto-populate and maintain Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with CI and CI relationships
- Need a fast map of IT elements and the interdependencies of those elements
- Deploy changes to the infrastructure quickly and seamlessly
Our Solution
BMC Topology Discovery provides you with fast, logical application dependency mapping of components within the IT environment, identifying which IT components comprise enterprise applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Integrates with the BMC Atrium CMDB or exports to custom or third-party CMDBs
- Provides an up-to-date view of dependencies and relationships that make up IT and business services
- Enables asset, incident and problem, change and configuration, and service level management
- Enables IT to resolve the most urgent incidents faster by impact modeling to associate and prioritize incidents by business service criticality
- Extenstions for SAP, Siebel, J2EE, VMWare, Web Services, Business Processes, Mainframe, Storage, and more
- Uses Universal Application Discovery (UAD) to find apps and dependencies based on ports and process mapping with patent-pending algorithms
- Embeds knowledge base of 10,000+ processes and applications mapping with a UAD; allows the user to enrich the knowledge base with their applications
