Netuitive Beefs Up Service Analyzer With Added Support for CMDBs

Market Leader Adds Intelligence Layer to CMDBs with Automation and Self-Learning Performance Management Technology

Reston, VA – February 19, 2008 – Netuitive Inc., the leading provider of self-learning performance management software, announced a new innovation for companies implementing Configuration Management Databases (CMDB). Netuitive Service Analyzer now helps maximize the return on CMDB investments by augmenting Configuration Item (CI) data for end-to-end IT performance management.

Enterprises looking to adopt Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) are deploying a CMDB to support best practices in IT service management. However, without performance analytics capabilities, most CMDB implementations can only be leveraged for change and asset management. In order to realize the full potential of CMDB deployments for ITIL, organizations must be able to learn and understand the performance dependencies between CIs to identify root-causes of service-level degradations.

"Analytics will become one of the most crucial, applicable, and enabling technologies driving the success of CMDB-based initiatives," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president at industry analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates. "Real-time, self-learning analytics technology brings a much needed layer of intelligence to the CMDB system in order to focus on only the most critical CI attributes in service management - especially in the data rich areas of performance and business impact analysis. Netuitive is helping lead the way with its self-learning performance management software."

Netuitive's technology automatically discovers the correlations and performance dependencies between CIs to provide an end-to-end dashboard view of service health. Netuitive's software also identifies any offending CI that is impacting overall service performance. Existing CMDB service definitions can be easily imported into Netuitive Service Analyzer and new CI information can be dynamically loaded into the service model using Netuitive's new CMDB Auto-Sync functionality.

"Netuitive continues to innovate and lead its market by keeping pace with customer demand and the growing adoption of ITIL," said Nicola Sanna, president and CEO of Netuitive. "Our ability to align with customer needs is the reason we have a 100 percent win record against competing performance management products. Our expanded support for CMDB gives us even more of an edge with organizations managing ITIL initiatives."
