TrueSight Automation for Servers

Product Description:

TrueSight Automation for Servers is the industry-leading solution for automated vulnerability management, patching, compliance, configuration changes, software deployments, and provisioning in the data center and cloud.

Business Challenge

All mission-critical applications depend on healthy data center servers to keep the business running and ahead of the competition. If IT takes too long to patch, provision, configure, or update servers, the organization can risk prolonged exposure to security vulnerabilities, lose competitiveness, or face costly fines for non-compliance. With the complexity of heterogeneous physical, virtual, and cloud server environments, IT staff struggle just to meet SLAs for uptime and stability. Manual efforts are labor- intensive, error-prone, and simply not scalable. Expensive, highly-skilled administrators waste time on homegrown, script-based approaches with limited, temporary results that won’t scale.

BMC Solution

TrueSight Automation for Servers provides a policy-based approach for managing data centers with greater speed, security, quality, and consistency. Broad support for all major operating systems on physical servers and leading virtualization and cloud platforms lets IT install and configure server changes with ease. Rich, out-of-the-box content helps IT automate continuous compliance checks and remediation for security or regulatory requirements. Now IT staff can build, configure, and enforce compliance faster and more reliably. With a simplified web portal, the IT operations team can increase the server to admin ratio, gain productivity, complete audits swiftly, and quickly respond to increasing business demands.

Quickly take action against vulnerabilities.

Product Details

Applications and IT infrastructure need to work together. BMC Helix Capacity Optimization gives IT the insight needed to balance IT resources with application and service demands.

Vulnerability Management

Use automation to ingest and analyze security scanner data, set priorities, plan remediation actions, and deploy security patches and configuration changes. Utilize a specially designed user interface and patch workflows that simplify the remediation process, and increase the speed and productivity of administrators to close security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Compliance

Simplify governance with role-based access control, pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP, integrated documentation, and remediation through repair, rollback, or configuration updates.

Provisioning

Provision server configurations using approaches such as unattended installs, native Powershell scripting, and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning for physical, virtual, and cloud-based data centers.

Out-of-the-Box Support

– Enterprise operating systems include Windows®, Linux®, and UNIX®
– Virtualization technologies from VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, Citrix, IBM®, and Oracle®
– Integrations with BMC solutions for application discovery, full-stack configuration, incident and change management
– Integrations with open source vendors like Chef, Puppet, and Docker

Configuration

Manage change and configuration activities with surgical precision across a broad range of server environments without scripting.

Reporting

Cut the time required to assess the impact of a change or complete an audit with real-time and historical views for patching, compliance, inventory, provisioning, and deployment, including automation value dashboards.
