LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - April 28, 2008) - Utilizing Interop 2008 as a platform,
nSolutions, Inc. (
www.nsolutionsinc.net) today launched its flagship change
and configuration management offering, Network Ontology and Virtualization
Appliance (NOVA™). NOVA is a highly scalable, change and configuration
management appliance that auto-discovers infrastructure resource
configurations, builds a real-time repository of physical, logical and
virtual resources, correlates the interdependencies and controls the
changes to ensure continuous operational and security compliance.
nSolutions will be demonstrating NOVA within a live, multi-vendor
environment April 29th, Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) Booth #421.
Dr. Harish Rao, nSolutions' CEO, explains the genesis of his company's new
offering, "Change and configuration management of infrastructure resources
is central to all IT operations. Automation and control of change and
configuration management is the only way to handle complexity and assure
high availability and security of business services. However, today, these
business services are supported by a collection of independent operational
silos being managed by -- point solutions -- which only view change and
configuration from an individual device perspective e.g. server, router,
switch, etc. Virtualization only exacerbates the manageability problem.
What was needed is a solution that provides a unified view of the entire IT
infrastructure based on: auto discovery, a real-time repository of the
infrastructure resources configurations and a decision support system for
managing changes holistically."
Introducing NOVA
NOVA is a product line of plug-and-play appliances that manages change in
global heterogeneous infrastructures through automation and control. NOVA
auto discovers the resource configurations and cuts across IT silos to
provide a unified view of the configuration state of the infrastructure
resources that support business services. The real-time NOVA Repository
maintains a virtual construct of the auto-discovered configurations and the
interdependencies among the components of the core and the applications
infrastructures. NOVA's Change Impact Analytics (CIA) allows a variety of
reports to be generated for all stakeholders responsible for operations,
compliance and security.
"nSolutions brings a unique set of capabilities to the change and
configuration management space," said Richard Ptak, managing partner and
analyst at Ptak, Noel and Associates LLC. "NOVA by means of an easy and
simple insertion of an appliance -- provides immediate visibility and
understanding of business services -- without the long cycle of project
development, while eliminating useless data models."
NOVA plug and play appliances have several unique advantages that make them
highly cost effective for enterprise customers:
-- Unprecedented visibility into infrastructure resources through auto
configuration discovery, based on industry standards.
-- NOVA's repository is an operational Configuration Management Data Base
(CMDB) that maintains real-time information and exchanges configuration
data with a federation of CMDBs.
-- An innovative approach to Change Impact Analytics enables operational
decisions for managing change from a services perspective.
-- World-class automation and control for continuous operational
compliance with regulatory and security policies
-- Dramatic improvement in operational efficiency resulting in higher
availability of business services at a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
"Enterprises have no choice but to reduce operational costs and minimize
business risk from IT. In order to achieve this, IT personnel must manage
change pro-actively. NOVA's automation and analytics uniquely provide
real-time information for supporting operational decisions," Rao added.
"The ontology and virtualization methodology of NOVA readily accommodates
the manageability problems resulting from high rates of technological
changes. This innovation overcomes the limitations of traditional
approaches of managing change in IT infrastructures that has evolved over
the last several years."
Pricing and Availability
NOVA is currently shipping with pricing starting at U.S. $20,000.
