EMC unveils next-generation platform for automated network change and configuration management

Notes and media contacts

Core to VoyenceControl 4.0 are several new features, including:

• Extensible Hybrid Model-Based Approach
Aligns closely with the model-based management capabilities of Smarts and EMC Application Discovery Manager (ADM), enabling a higher level of vendor-neutral management by policy or best practice. This approach also saves customers significant time and money, allowing them to create vendor-neutral compliance templates for network devices instead of creating a policy and template for each vendor.

• One of Industry's Only Multi-Configuration File Support Solutions
Allows for complete understanding of the configuration state at any time (running, start- up, VLAN database, etc.). VoyenceControl is now one of the only network change and configuration management solutions prepared to manage next generation devices and provide detailed accounting of who has changed what when, and if the change was in compliance.

• Closed Loop Network Orchestration with EMC Smarts
Enables VoyenceControl change events to be associated with Smarts managed devices, viewing VoyenceControl details from an event displayed in Smarts, contextually launch VoyenceControl directly from Smarts, and synchronize the Smarts and VoyenceControl topologies.

• New Compliance Engine
Supports both device and regulatory compliance.

• New Reporting Engine
Provides advanced compliance-reporting capabilities and the ability to create customized reports.

VoyenceControl 4.0 is available now. More information can be found at http://www.emc.com/products/category/it-operations-management.htm
