Durring a a Podcast interview, CM Journal Editor-in-Chief Patrick Egan spoke with Swapnil Shah, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of mValent and Ken Barrette, Manager, Change Control Solutions for Quest Software about this annoucement. [Listen to the Podcast]

Both companies focus on providing application infrastructure support and as they queried their respective customers they discovered that IT organizations were traditionally relying on manual and disconnected processes to manage both the underlying infrastructure as well as code of distributed applications.  According to Swapnil Shah, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of mValent , "The process of managing a highly distributed application infrastructure and managing application components throughout their lifecycle from development through production while maintaining consistency across those distributed environments was a huge challenge for our customers. "

Quest Foglight Release Manager, part of Quest’s evolving application and services management portfolio, enables automated, reliable deployment of business-critical distributed applications with the control, accountability and insight required to comply with regulatory requirements and IT management best practices.  mValent Integrity helps IT teams understand and manage infrastructure configurations and automate changes through reliable, repeatable and auditable processes. IT teams use mValent Integrity to capture the current state of configuration settings for IT assets, monitor them for authorized and unauthorized changes, and automate processes for provisioning changes and setting up new environments throughout the application lifecycle – from development, testing and through production.

Quest Foglight Release Manager and mValent Integrity working in tandem help IT organizations address application configuration, change and release management needs across the application lifecycle for code, content and infrastructure configurations.

“We were looking to form a partnership with a company that could extend the reach of release management and have a focus on application-centric solutions,” said Larry Humphries, vice president of product management at Quest Software. “We found the right partner in mValent. Together, we are giving the industry a single solution to track and control change across the entire application environment, from application code to infrastructure configuration.”

The two products are availalbe immediately for joint implementation with existing architectural synergy. Throughout 2007 the companies will be bringing additional integration capabilities to market that will furhter enhance the combined offering.  Contact Quest for availability information regarding Quest's complete application and services management portfolio.
