Product Description:
BMC Helix Discovery is a Multi-Cloud solution discovering IT Assets and mapping dependencies which also provides visibility into hardware, software, and service dependencies across environments. Each scan delves into the information and dependencies for all software, hardware, network, storage, hyper-converged infrastructure, and cloud services—providing organizations with the context needed to create an application map from any piece of information about it.
Business Challenge
As data centers transform to multi-cloud environments, new ways to deliver cloud-native applications are being used to scale the business. These private and public cloud environments often have limited or non-standard means of communications and need to co-exist with legacy infrastructure and software. As a result, companies that don’t have good visibility into how cloud-native applications are implemented struggle in their digital transformation. To address this issue BMC Helix Discovery provides a wide range of features to assist in managing and discovering IT Assets and providing business service application maps.
BMC Helix Discovery – Discover and Manage IT Assets With Ease
BMC Helix Discovery is a tool that automates IT asset discovery and dependency mapping to gain better visibility into the management of hardware, software, and services in multi-cloud-AWS, Azure, Google Cloud; and on-premises environments. It provides the trusted foundation for building application maps that enable digital transformation to be more aware, secure, and cost-transparent. Before you get started with BMC Helix Discovery, learn how it is the ideal IT assets discovery tool for your company.
How It Works
- Agentless, Lightweight, and Scalable: BMC Helix Discovery is delivered as a ready-to-run cloud-native IT asset discovery tool. All credentials and firewall rules are local to the customer and under the customer’s complete control. This allows organizations to get started very quickly with minimal effort to maintain.
- Security: BMC Helix Discovery provides a tightly controlled system in which only the essential utilities are installed. The virtual appliance has been hardened, complies with NIST STIG, and supports FIPS 140-2 encryption standards. The application offers granularity in configuring access rights, encryption, and depth of discovery actions.
Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Integration:
Helix Discovery offers seamless integration into BMC Helix CMDB with out-of-the-box, continuous data synchronization.
In addition, BMC Helix Discovery offers web services and database integrations that can be used to synchronize the data with other CMDB technologies.
Reference Library:
BMC Helix Discovery provides end-of-life information for common operating systems, hardware, and software. Quickly identify unsupported software and hardware and better plan for upgrades. BMC Helix Discovery assists security operations in identifying dependencies associated with vulnerabilities by providing Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) information provided by the National Vulnerability Database.
Hyperconverged infrastructure context Containers and Converged Infrastructure:
Understand infrastructure dependencies on containers and container orchestration tools spanning IaaS, hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), and traditional computing. This helps pinpoint the costs of running containers and provides better service awareness.
Helix Discovery for Storage:
This content pack enables storage components from thirty virtual, physical, or distributed brands to be included in ITSM processes, enabling storage management teams to focus on more strategic work within their discipline.
Multi-cloud Capabilities:
Discovery can map assets and their dependencies in a single pane of glass to represent data centers, public cloud, and private cloud environments. It performs this deep discovery in a cloud-friendly way, leveraging APIs and agentless protocols.
