Imperative IDS™ - Introduction and Overview
Infrastructure Discovery Solutions for Datacenter Moves, Consolidations, and Virtualizations.
An innovative solution
for discovering enterprise computer hardware and software inventories, interfaces, and component dependencies:
- identify (potentially catastrophic) risks, and
- lower the relocation cost and timeline.
Note that network management appliances that attempt to do this are currently available, yet highly-manual, time-consuming to implement, and cost-prohibitive, rendering them unsuitable for short-term project requirements.
The Imperative Infrastructure solution affords a deep understanding of the
physical interfaces and requirements.
But to accomplish the goal of having an accurate network and enterprise map,
it is also essential to map all
logical interfaces and requirements.
Other solutions are not cognizant of
programmatic logical dependencies found in application source code, stored procedures, database triggers, middleware, etc.
Undiscovered dependencies can shut down users during critical operations that are yet to happen in the new location.
So how can I discover and document these requirements that must be taken into consideration at the new site?
1. Hire new developers for 4-6 months in advance of the move, who will attend every programming meeting, constantly analyze source code, and report on all matters that will affect the relocation, or...
2. Use Xactis people and tools - for between 2 days to two weeks - and get a safer and more complete result.
