OPSWARE SOLUTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT FROM CARAHSOFT

Visual Application Manager

There's the business view of your IT-focused on meeting service levels and other business priorities-and then there's the functional view of IT, focused on the infrastructure itself. Sometimes these views are at odds with one another. Opsware helps you bridge the gap.

Opsware Visual Application Manager, part of Opsware System 6 , offers the industry's only automated discovery and application mapping solution with fully integrated change automation. Recognizing that application discovery and dependency mapping are integral to managing today's complex IT landscape, we set out to further our lead in Data Center Automation by providing you with a deeper, visual, and interactive view of your application environment. In this way, your organization can accurately account for your computing environment, better understand the applications that define a service, as well as identify the underlying infrastructure.

Visualize. Interact. Take Action.
Opsware Visual Application Manager delivers a complete picture of your environment including all servers, software, network devices and storage, and interdependencies. From this visual interactive view, your IT group can gain an instant in-depth understanding of the state of your environment-making the identification and troubleshooting of applications that deliver services much easier. In essence, the Visual Application Manager becomes an effective driver for automating change and compliance-and enables you to make the right changes and easily pinpoint the source of issues to speed repair and compliance management.
