CiRBA Unveils New Data Center Intelligence Solution.

2006-04-12, HostMan.biz

CiRBA Inc., a leader in Data Center Intelligence, today announced the release of version 3.0 of its Data Center Intelligence (DCI) solution. CiRBA 3.0 adds powerful new capabilities as well as usability, administration and architectural enhancements that greatly improve an IT organization's ability to manage heterogeneous data centers.

The complexity of IT environments today combined with regulatory demands makes it increasingly challenging for IT management to have the information they require to support critical decisions and manage risk. From cross organization inventory to configuration auditing, compliance, change detection and even data center utilization, IT organizations are often managing in a vacuum of information. Monitoring tools, provisioning tools and process management solutions are often best of breed but cover only specific platforms for specific purposes. Data Center Intelligence, much like business intelligence, fills a void of information required to optimally manage heterogeneous IT infrastructure.

With CiRBA 3.0, enterprises can better understand their technology inventory, how it is configured at a deep level, automate both internal and external compliance reporting, verify and validate planned changes, and more effectively allocate IT resources such as hardware and software.

"CiRBA's unique approach of providing IT management with information about heterogeneous data centers to a deep and detailed level is striking a chord with IT decision makers," said Gerry Smith, president and CEO of CiRBA. "They realize that this detailed information enables powerful analysis of the dynamics of their environments, its impact on compliance, and even asset optimization such as server consolidation. Release 3.0 advances our architecture to address the needs of those managing large-scale heterogeneous IT environments."

"We rely on CiRBA to manage critical elements of our data center. The visibility it provides is invaluable as we work to ensure high quality and service levels," said Lou Fachin, Senior OSS Specialist at Bell Mobility. "Version 3.0 is a significant advancement in usability and versatility, enabling us to expose its power to an even broader spectrum of IT stakeholders."

CiRBA 3.0 - Non-intrusive, broad and deep detection of configuration changes and differences

CiRBA 3.0 brings advancements in usability, manageability and architecture, raising the bar in data center visibility and intelligence. New features include:

* Architectural Enhancements - New architecture ensures the continued ability to scale to support the largest of IT organizations while maintaining the fast to deploy, non-intrusive attributes of CiRBA. Core data is now placed in an embedded relational database to support advanced reporting features. For larger CiRBA deployments, an external RDBMS option is available.
* Role-Based Security and Enhanced User Interface - New role-based security controls access to granular functionality, saved reports and system information. Combined with an improved browser user interface, the new framework makes it easy to deploy CiRBA to a broad range of user types; from system and audit administrators, to end users who may only view reports.
* Windows Active Directory integration - Microsoft Active Directory synchronization now allows login using AD credentials. Microsoft Active Directory user groups and user group members can be imported into CiRBA, streamlining user management and enabling access to the application via Windows user password authentication.
* Hierarchical Portfolios - Multi-level hierarchical portfolios allow systems to be organized in flexible and unlimited ways; for example, by business service, application, platform, physical location, and organizational responsibility.
* Reporting Enhancements - Several improvements in CiRBA's reporting capabilities are now available including robust system search functionality to quickly find a list of systems based on a combination of name, physical location, department, and/or Operating System. New reports have also been added in the areas of compliance, security, system comparisons and extracts.
* Administrative Enhancements - New remote agent update capabilities save time and effort by allowing remote update of Windows and SNMP agents.
