New software takes the guesswork out of change impact analysis

Tideway Systems has the release of Tideway Foundation 6.3 - an updated version of the company's flagship Application Dependency Mapping product. Tideway Foundation 6.3 automates application change control by making it even easier for businesses to evaluate the impact, risk and cost of change across multiple IT components, and then track and validate those changes.

Tideway Foundation 6.3 gives users better control of the changes they make in their IT environments, including the ability to track and verify. The solution helps businesses plan changes more effectively to minimize change-related incidents.

Tideway Foundation 6.3 includes the following key updates:

* Powerful comparison tools for analyzing configuration items and their dependencies
- To understand changes or find root cause of incidents and problems;
- To ensure live and disaster recovery environment compatibility;
- To minimize go live failure by comparing development, testing and production stages.

* Enterprise-grade authentication and authorization service
- Supports LDAP and certificate based authentication, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of the data being managed.

Foundation 6.3 comes pre-populated with over 3000 fingerprints, which are updated as often as every two months through Tideway's unique fingerprint update service. This service ensures that Tideway's customers benefit from automatic indexing, recognition, and mapping of new data center technologies and applications as they are released to market, providing the most complete map of their IT infrastructure configuration possible.
