Forrester Praises Evolven Solution that Redefines Configuration Management for the Modern Data Center and Cloud

JERSEY CITY, NJ, March 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) Forrester Vice President and principal analyst,, Jean-Pierre Garbani, praises Evolven in his blog referred to it as representing "...the original BSM spirit: effective solutions that provide immediate results".

"Evolven has introduced a change control solution that discovers all changes in real time, analyzes their impact, detects the rogue ones, and proposes an actionable dashboard for remediation. It connects to the service desk change requests to determine what was authorized," writes Jean-Pierre Garbani, VP, Forrester Research.

"The two essential components that we saw in BSM for improving the breed of system management tools were quietly forgotten. These two major failures are: 1) real-time dependency discovery — because last month's application dependencies are as good as yesterday's newspaper when it comes to root cause analysis or change detection, and 2) the reworking of tools around these dependencies — because it added a level of visibility and intelligence that was sorely lacking in the then current batch of monitoring and management solutions."

Jean-Pierre Garbani noted that Evolven is actually going back to the roots of BSM and that it represents "the original BSM spirit: effective solutions that provide immediate results by building a bridge between the end user and IT operations."

Jean-Pierre has several decades of experience as an IT technology designer and marketer, as well as a client of IT technology. He has broad experience in designing advanced technology solutions in industrial and commercial applications and bringing them to market. He has written extensively on technology for several business publications. Jean-Pierre is often a featured speaker in vendor-sponsored events and Webinars.

Evolven will be hosting a webinar with Jean-Pierre on Wednesday, April 6th at 1PM, He will bring his insights and participants will learn how to successfully deal with the impact on change & configuration management with the new realities of today's IT landscape.
