BDNA Maps: Seeing Relationships in the
IT Infrastructure
Overview
BDNA Insight delivers the strategic asset information necessary for effective IT. It discovers assets in the global IT infrastructure, and delivers comprehensive, accurate and immediate insight to streamline processes, accelerate projects and monitor policies.
BDNA is now extending these core capabilities to add another layer of intelligence about the components in the IT infrastructures: the relationships between them. BDNA Maps, integrated with BDNA Insight 6.0, offers insight into the complex dependencies and relationships between the various components of the evolving IT infrastructure.
While traditional application dependency mapping solutions limit themselves to core sets of applications, BDNA Maps go further – mapping the relationships between applications and storage, or between virtual environments and physical ones. These new capabilities build on the powerful discovery and comprehensive, up-to-date catalog already part of the BDNA Insight solution.
By extending BDNA Insight with relationship mapping, BDNA helps business make strategic decisions to prioritize products, optimize the use of limited resources, and reduce risks to the business. This paper describes these capabilities in more detail.
