Composite Server to be Embedded into BMC Products
08/22/2005
Composite Software announced today that BMC Software has licensed the Composite Information Server for incorporation into BMC Software products, including BMC Performance Manager and BMC Atrium.
The companies shared the following:
BMC Software products help businesses align IT operations to directly
support critical business objectives, a strategy known as Business Service
Management (BSM). The relationship with Composite will benefit BMC Software
customers by improving their visibility and performance in large-scale
environments. Complex organizations face a landscape of disparate
technology, internal and outsourced, across geographies and business units,
assembled over time. Effective BSM requires a consolidated, real-time view
across this entire landscape for planning, reporting, impact analysis and
end-user service delivery.
"As a leader in its market, BMC already supports a distributed data model
for the Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB)," said Wister Walcott,
vice president of Marketing for Composite Software. "Composite provides the
next generation of federation technology, to extend reporting and dashboard
capabilities, and to enable live connectivity to configuration information
outside of BMC."
"With Composite, BMC will be the only enterprise management company with
built-in, standards-based federation," said Sean Duclaux, director of
Product Management at BMC Software. "This will extend our rich planning and
reporting capabilities in distributed deployments. In addition, Composite's
speed, and its compact, efficient footprint, will mesh well with BMC
Software products."
