Burlington, MA - June
18, 2007 - mValent,
Inc. (http://www.mvalent.com), a leading provider
of automated IT configuration management solutions for managing application
infrastructure, today announced the availability of
mValent IntegrityTM for Microsoft Servers.
Designed for IT teams who implement, support and maintain the application
infrastructure on Windows Servers® for
their company's mission-critical, distributed business applications,
mValent
Integrity for Microsoft Servers enables these teams to optimize configuration,
change and release management processes for application infrastructure
throughout the application lifecycle - from development,
testing and through production.
"With this release, we've extended the power of our market-leading
application configuration and change management platform to embrace the
Windows world," said Swapnil Shah, Chief Strategy Officer with
mValent. "Now, IT teams have a single console to manage
Microsoft-based environments as well as Linux and Unix based Java
application infrastructure, and can leverage mValent Integrity's rich
configuration and change management tools to reap the same benefits of
improved application uptime and staff productivity, reduced IT fire
drills and automated IT audit and compliance reporting."
mValent
Integrity for Microsoft Servers enables IT infrastructure and application
support teams
to manage the many moving parts associated with application infrastructure -
including Web servers, application servers, databases and middleware - by
capturing deep insight into configuration settings for IT assets,
monitoring them for both authorized or rogue changes and provisioning changes to
supported infrastructure assets. mValent
Integrity leverages Microsoft's Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to
collect, distribute and execute configuration data from Windows application
infrastructure assets in an entirely agentless fashion. Core capabilities included in this
Microsoft-centric release include:
- Support for the Most
Popular Microsoft Servers - mValent Integrity
for Microsoft Servers includes out of the box support for Microsoft Windows
Server, Internet Information Services (IIS), SharePoint® Server and SQL
ServerTM.

Management - mValent Integrity
for Microsoft Servers delivers a dynamic, model-driven approach to application
configuration management that includes in-depth inventory of all configuration
settings as well as tools to simplify deployment and enforcement of
configuration standards throughout the application

- Change
Management
- mValent Integrity's comprehensive Infrastructure
Change Dashboard delivers in-depth
insight into meaningful infrastructure changes via a simplified graphical
interface that enables users to drill-down into configuration changes and track,
sort, analyze and report on those changes.
Additionally,
the software provides powerful version control for configuration settings and a
dynamic Compare capability that greatly accelerates the troubleshooting process
via thorough analysis of how fine-grained configuration settings have diverged
from accepted standards. Users can also
run scheduled comparisons and receive alerts highlighting configuration
drift.
- Release Management
-
mValent Integrity for Microsoft Servers enables IT teams to build new
application environments efficiently, package and deploy configuration changes
completely and validate that changes are made correctly to supported
assets.
- IT Audit &
Reporting - mValent Integrity
for Microsoft Servers automates auditing and reporting on application
infrastructure changes, enabling IT teams to ensure that infrastructure changes
are introduced and tracked in accordance with regulatory and operational
requirements.

supporting the delivery of mission-critical business applications. These companies have reported results that
