Now part of the Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM) family of solutions from BMC Software

The Changing IT Infrastructure

Your IT infrastructure is a complicated web. Unplug a server in New York, and an application in your Atlanta office stops working. Even simple questions like 'how many servers do I have?' have become hard to answer.

The old methods of tracking IT infrastructure dependencies, like spreadsheets and tribal knowledge, are increasingly insufficient on a day-to-day basis. And when the time comes for upgrades, mergers or migrations the risk of not understanding these dependencies becomes far too risky.
