Server Management and Automation Suite

Server Management software (Opsware) automates the operations lifecycle management of servers, applications, and network devices to help IT teams achieve operational agility, improve productivity, and achieve higher quality standards. When Opsware is deployed in the IT environment, it will automatically discover devices, enable coordinated change management and compliance with regulatory guidelines as well as report on all assets, change history, and current state.
