Richardson, TX –
March 30, 2004 – Voyence, the leading provider of configuration
management solutions for large, heterogeneous networks, today announced
it has joined the Opsware Solution Partner Program (OSPP), and will integrate
VoyenceControl! with Opsware’s IT automation software to achieve
greater IT efficiencies and lower costs in the data center. Through the
program, Voyence will receive access to Opsware’s Web Services interface
and API’s and participate in joint selling and co-marketing activities.
VoyenceControl! automates
network planning, design, deployment and change management processes to
increase network availability and improve security by preventing errors
from being introduced during the design or change process. Automation
has become a necessity as IT organizations seek to become more cost-competitive,
reduce data center complexity and offer higher-value services.
Fortune 2000 enterprises
and government agencies are deploying the Opsware System to automate operations
across their data centers, and are realizing lower costs, increased IT
efficiencies and improved operations quality. The Opsware System automates
a broad range of server and software operations including system provisioning,
software provisioning, change management, patch management, application
deployment and configuration tracking. The Opsware System also provides
IT greater visibility into their operations, the state of their environment
and how critical assets like servers, software infrastructure products
and applications are being utilized.
“The combination
of Opsware’s data center automation software and Voyence’s
network configuration management solutions provides productivity improvements
and increased security for today’s data centers,” said Michael
Bunyard, vice president of worldwide marketing at Voyence. “Together,
Opsware and Voyence allow customers to seamlessly and automatically manage
critical network devices and servers, significantly reducing the chance
of manual errors being introduced into the data center environment during
the change process.”
“Network configuration
management is a key to automating data center operations and reducing
costs stemming from security vulnerabilities from improperly configured
devices,” said Sharmila Shahani, senior vice president of marketing
at Opsware Inc. “Enterprises are demanding solutions that can automatically
track, store and recover critical software and server configuration information.
The partnership between Opsware and Voyence increases operational efficiencies
in the data center by enabling enterprises to quickly diagnose and fix
problems related to configuration errors.”
The growth of the
Internet and move to Web-based computing is creating the biggest transformation
yet in IT - a shift from client/server computing to low-cost Web-based
architectures. With this shift comes a rapid growth of servers and applications
in data centers, resulting in massive complexity that renders traditional,
manual operations unsustainable. Automation has become a necessity as
IT organizations seek to become more cost-competitive, reduce data center
complexity and offer higher-value services.
As members of the
Data Center Markup Language (DCML) Organization, Voyence and Opsware are
working together on the DCML specification, which will result in enhanced
interoperability between the companies’ product lines and other
systems and network management solutions.
