IBM AIX Users to Gain Better Availability from New Granular Configuration Automation Solution by Evolven

Evolven support for IBM AIX allows for detection of granular configuration changes and classifies them by criticality and impact facilitating less downtime and increasing stability.

Jersey City, NJ, March 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Evolven Software Inc., the pioneer of Granular Configuration Automation solutions, today announced their support for IBM AIX. Evolven will enable customers to achieve greater visibility into the granular configuration information of IBM AIX’s application infrastructure which can affect the availability and performance of IT environments where IBM AIX is running.

IBM AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) is a series of proprietary Unix operating systems developed and sold by IBM for several of its computer platforms. The AIX platforms provide large corporations with scalability, advanced virtualization, security, manageability and reliability features to use for building their IT infrastructures. The IBM AIX platform provides IT infrastructures with the flexibility to adjust to ever changing business computing requirements and ever expanding workloads – without adding complexity.

Availability and performance of IBM AIX in the IT environment is critical for providing effective business service. With a unique ability to track the configuration parameters and detect changes and differences, no matter how minute, for IBM AIX, Evolven Comparison allows IT professionals to:

Reduce production outage risk: Increase stability of releases and detect unauthorized changes to prevent outages and high impact incidents

Minimize system downtime: Quickly pinpoint to an incident's root-cause and cut time to repair

Enhance security & compliance: Leverage granular visibility and audit-trail to meet demanding security and compliance requirements

The configuration parameters of IBM AIX are critical for providing effective business service. Accurately managing the configuration of IBM AIX is not an easy task considering the complexity of IBM AIX and the numerous configuration parameters involved with IBM AIX. IBM AIX includes thousands of different configuration parameters in which the misconfiguration or disregard of a single configuration setting can cause an incident with major impact on the entire IT environment and business service.

Evolven Comparison discovers granular configuration information for IBM AIX. Evolven Comparison's unique Comparison Engine™ includes a set of technologies that deliver clear, definitive configuration information related to IBM AIX, highlighting the critical root cause and its impact, allowing IT professionals to focus on what matters most.

Today’s modern business systems include interdependent layers of applications and infrastructure, and focusing on only one configuration or a small set leaves room for error, and ignores critical context and interdependencies. The Evolven Granular Configuration Automation solution, Evolven Comparison, focuses on the entire environment in order to ensure a stable business service that meets agreed to service levels.

Evolven Comparison analyzes and classifies configuration changes and differences, by their impact, for IBM AIX. Then Evolven Comparison prioritizes and highlights the changes and differences discovered in IBM AIX based on criticality, visually presenting the comparison results for fast and easy analysis. Insignificant changes and differences are ignored. Evolven Comparison even makes effective comparisons for IBM AIX Configurations of inherently different environments (e.g. test vs. production).
