Use Opsware Server Management System to Report on assets and operational activity

The Opsware System's Data Center Intelligence (DCI) module provides dynamic, real-time views into the hardware, software, patches, and operations activities in today's complex, heterogeneous data centers. DCI provides easy access to interactive reports that give visibility into the servers and environment under management so the entire IT organization, from the system administrator to the CIO, can make decisions based on consistent, accurate and up-to-date information.

Opsware Data Center Intelligence provides the following unique benefits:

Understands the latest environment state and history. The Opsware System gathers and continuously updates detailed information on server assets, including installed hardware, installed software, and patch levels, and operations tasks, such as software installations and removals, patch installations, configuration backups, and scripts executions. Opsware's living blueprint ensures that IT organizations minimize the risk of making bad decisions due to inaccurate data.

Provides visibility into server and software usage across the entire data center environment.Opsware provides a comprehensive view across all platforms and locations, allowing IT managers to generate on-demand snapshots of all data centers under management, driven from a single, high-quality data source.

Provides accurate operational activity information. Opsware maintains a detailed, tamper-proof record of every change initiated by a registered Opsware user that the Opsware System makes to each server. This record is presented in a comprehensive series of event reports that allows users to view events on a granular, sortable method and can be used as a proxy for true operational costs or security audits (for SOX and HIPAA).

Provides visibility into server security and vulnerability. Opsware automates this time consuming, error-prone patching process by offering a comprehensive set of patch management reports to proactively identify vulnerable servers. Opsware DCI helps IT organizations proactively manage their security policies and rapidly patch vulnerable servers.
