EMC has unveiled Ionix Data Center Insight, a new application in its Ionix IT management suite that enables customers to evolve their Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs) into fully federated Configuration Management Systems (CMS).
According to EMC, the new application provides an ability to bring together dependency mapping and discovery across storage, network, server and application domains. It allows users to build a single, reconciled view about the IT environment and visualise application and service dependencies across the data centre, including applications, servers,networks and storage.
Jay Mastaj, vice president and general manager of EMC Ionix, said: Virtualisation requires customers to break down silos and manage across domains – that’s the breakthrough that EMC Ionix Data Center Insight brings. Today’s data centre operations teams are faced with the hurdle of unifying their IT infrastructure across multiple domains to better populate CMDBs, more effectively manage changes and accurately troubleshoot across the data centre.
EMC Ionix Data Center Insight is a significant new solution for the virtualised data center – unifying and linking interdependencies end-to-end – from storage to server to network to applications. The end result enables customers to accelerate their journey to the private cloud.
Ionix Data Center Insight automatically populates both EMC and third-party CMDBs with best-practices configuration items (CIs) and allows customisation to define customer-specific CIs, the company said.
Ionix Data Center Insight is available now and the pricing starts at $40,000.
