Optinuity’s Revolutionary Approach to IT Management

As today’s computing systems and applications have grown more complex, so has the model for managing and supporting them. IT departments typically rely on legions of highly paid technical staff that use a vast array of point tools to locate, isolate and repair operational anomalies. This reactionary approach is further complicated by the uniqueness of each environment, where hand-coded scripts are frequently used in an attempt to gain much needed interoperability between a myriad of management tools. Not only is this model costly, time-consuming and error prone, but it also poses serious security and compliance risks.

With so much effort required to manage existing business systems, IT staffs have little time left to identify and address areas of potential growth. This becomes a barrier to scale and ends up increasing costs, while actually decreasing business performance.

Autonomic Policy Management: The Next Generation of IT Automation
Optinuity Oasis™ is an Autonomic Policy Management (APM) system, and the only solution for truly proactive IT management. Oasis moves beyond the current generation of IT automation products by attacking the IT complexity crisis from a business application perspective rather than an infrastructure component perspective. This allows IT executives to better map operations to business imperatives.

Oasis, the industry’s first APM system, is unique because it is comprised of a seamless integration of policy-based management, monitoring, IT automation (Run Book Automation or RBA) and scheduling technologies. With APM, enterprises can create and deploy Autonomic Policies in order to achieve self management for critical business applications.

Implementing APM around critical business applications empowers IT organizations to:

• Dramatically increase service levels and availability for these business systems;
• Radically reduce service tickets and the staff required to reactively respond to those tickets;
• Liberate technical support staff from “fire-fighting” mode and instead focus them on initiatives that drive business objectives;
• Simplify today’s management model by reducing or eliminating reactive management tools; and
• Eliminate compliance and security vulnerabilities caused by distributed scripts and human intervention.
