Unparalleled Application Integrity Today’s applications are more demanding

Applications growth, both in numbers and complexity, is accelerating at a never-before-seen rate. Architectural changes introduced by different cloud architectures along with increased demands for portability and disaster recovery are stretching the limits of traditional application management tools. Application managers need a tool that allows them to spend less time monitoring application configurations and more time focusing on application functionality. Historically application managers have relied on a loosely connected set of federated tools to identify, capture, report and manage application configurations. CPlane Surveyor in conjunction with CPlane’s unique and powerful IT Discovery tool takes the headache out of creating and maintaining your application portfolio.

CPlane Surveyor delivers:

• Accurate up-to-date application topology information

• Automatic detection and notification of changes

• Identification of problems outside the manager’s sphere of responsibility

• Early detection and warning of problems • Faster problem identification and resolution • Continuous improvement identification

CPlane Surveyor benefits

• Up to 80% time saving in tracking and managing applications

• Up to 50% savings in compliance procedures and audits • Significantly improved problem resolution through fast

cross-organization correlation • Automatic documentation creation • Increased assurance of production, • QA/Test and DR configuration equivalency • Identification and reduction in unauthorized changes • Error identification and detection • BEFORE they cause problems

o Hardware refresh o Physical to Virtual conversions o Changes in other department or o external assets o CMDB updates o Changes in application components o Disaster Recovery contingency plans

Discovery Agentless drop and go deployment with automated discovery and change detection for all service delivery architectures

Device Library Fully extensible device and element library to cover all infrastructure, application and cloud models

Correlation 3600 multi-level view of your application ecosystem for unprecedented visibility and control

IDE Integrated feature-rich development platform for the creation of value-added business and management add-ons

Workflow Policy-based workflow with full roll-back for unmatched control and management of all service delivery functions

Immediate Business Impact A new view of applications

CPlane Surveyor creates a new perspective of your applications and the relationships that exist between all the components of the application ecosystem. Unlike the traditional “infrastructure component” view that most products provide, Suveyor enables application managers to create a complete topology map of an application, including both upstream (those served by the application) and downstream (those that serve the application) resources. With this 3600 view application managers now have complete visibility to the status of all the resources that support their application – those under their direct control as well as those outside their direct control.

Lean IT with immediate payback

No agents. No infrastructure changes. Installs in about an hour. Frictionless… The CPlane framework comes as a virtual appliance that you can non-disruptively drop into your environment and immediately realize the benefits of having complete insight and control of your application configuration management. It takes only three easy steps:

Install Surveyor (with CPlane Discovery) Enter environment parameters (e.g., IP ranges, user credentials) and run component discovery Identify application components and dependencies

CPlane Surveyor provides a level of business context that allows my clients to understand the key relationships between their mission critical applications and the IT infrastructure that enables them. The 360 degree, multi-level view that Surveyor provides helps eliminate the traditional siloed view of applications – and finger pointing when problems arise…
