Tideway tackles
the 50-80% of downtime caused by change
NEW YORK, NY —July 18,
2007—Tideway Systems, the independent leader in Application Dependency
Mapping for enterprises, announced the release of Tideway Foundation 6.3—an updated version of the company’s
flagship Application Dependency Mapping product. Tideway Foundation 6.3
automates application change control by making it even easier for businesses to
evaluate the impact, risk and cost of change across multiple IT components, and
then track and validate those changes.
Tideway Foundation 6.3 gives users better control
of the changes they make in their IT environments, including the ability to
track and verify. The solution helps businesses plan changes more effectively
to minimize change-related incidents. As part of Tideway’s mission to make IT
management As Simple As Search, 6.3 includes the following key
updates:
§ Powerful comparison
tools for analyzing configuration items and their dependencies
o To understand
changes or find root cause of incidents and problems
o To ensure live and
disaster recovery environment compatibility
o To minimize go live
failure by comparing development, testing and production stages
§ Enterprise-grade
authentication and authorization service
o Supports LDAP and
certificate based authentication, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of the
data it manages
Foundation 6.3 comes pre-populated with over 3000
fingerprints, which are updated as often as every two months through Tideway’s
unique fingerprint update service. This service ensures that
Tideway's customers benefit from automatic indexing, recognition, and mapping of
new data center technologies and applications as they are released to market,
providing the most complete map of their IT infrastructure configuration
possible.
Foundation 6.3 is available in three different
editions for making IT management As Simple As Search that address the level of
transparency required: Business, Operations and Platform.
· Platform
Edition – for getting started with application dependency mapping by
indexing the hardware, operating systems and agents in the data
center
·
Operations Edition – in addition, mapping
software, network hardware, and virtual hosts, including their
interdependencies

to infrastructure for total IT transparency

result of our commitment to customers and strategic partnerships. We’ve now
made it even easier to find an edition that is packaged and priced to match your
requirements. It’s now quicker and easier to deploy application dependency
