create powerful and repeatable deployments. This out-of-the-box, ready-to-use content is
built using industry standards, vendor best practices, and real-world experience. An intuitive
drag-and-drop interface allows you to design and debug flows. Integration wizards allow
you to integrate any IT tool, process, or system without the hassle of coding. No scripting or
programming required.
Integrated compliance audit, closed-loop remediation and reporting
Maintain internal organizational compliance utilizing continually updated out-of-the-box
policies, including industry-standard and/or government regulatory policies such as PCI, SOX,
CSI, HIPPA, etc., and detect changes and apply configuration updates. Closed-loop remediation
also allows immediate action across the data center, and built-in compliance reporting for both
current and historical information is available for any audit requests.
Database and application middleware automation
Take advantage of out-of-the-box, fully tested, automation best practices for database
and middleware applications including fully customizable workflow templates. Consistently
provision, patch, upgrade, and migrate using standards set by your experts.
Flexible unit-based licensing
Units are sold in packs of 10 and can be used either for one server instance or two database
and middleware instances per unit. This allows for ultimate investment protection—save
unused units for later use wherever needed in the data center as you grow and scale to meet
business needs.
