Automating Application Configuration Management mValent Integrity™ gives IT the ability to manage all aspects of application infrastructure configuration management, simply and automatically. The result is greater application uptime, fewer IT fire drills, and simplified compliance with industry best practices and regulatory mandates. Up to 75% of an IT team’s time is consumed with day-to-day maintenance tasks such as building, managing, changing, troubleshooting, provisioning and auditing tens to hundreds of application environments. mValent Integrity delivers powerful features for Configuration Management, Change Management, Release Management, and Audit and Compliance that automate those tasks, giving IT more time, lower costs, better quality and audit intelligence. Today, the application infrastructure is a complex environment consisting of multiple assets such as Web Servers, Application Servers, Middleware and Databases from a multitude of vendors, managed in silos by teams of specialists. There’s no understanding of interdependencies and a lack of tools to manage the configuration process. Outages, delays and quality problems are common results. mValent Integrity provides IT with a dynamic, repeatable, process-driven "gold master" approach to infrastructure configuration management that enables smooth delivery and support of business applications.
