mValent Integrity eliminates the effects of “configuration chaos” by allowing organizations to automate IT infrastructure build processes and bring pre-production application environments in line with their production environments. mValent Integrity recognizes what has changed in a configuration, presents the effects of changes before they happen, and automates the change management process. As a result, mValent customers gain higher application reliability and impressive productivity gains from their IT infrastructure staff.

This is particularly important to the enterprise applications supported in the IBM environment. These applications typically are distributed; web based and supports the critical aspects of the business. To ensure the highest reliability and optimum control and management of configuration parameters, mValent has worked with IBM on multiple technology integration points.

IBM Technology Integration Points:

• WebSphere Application Server - mValent has developed an “Automation Module” specifically for IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.x. for use in automating WebSphere-related IT tasks, such as “Create an Application Server”.
• Linux, z/OS, MQ Series and DB2 - mValent can accurately track when a change has been made to a configuration file pertaining to the management of these technologies.
• IBM Rational ClearCase™ Integration - mValent makes use of the ClearCase API to enable “Load” and “Check in” operations to and from Rational ClearCase.
• IBM Tivoli OPAL Integration - mValent’s “Automation Package for Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator” delivers fully validated configuration sets for use within IBM’s OPAL (orchestration and provisioning) On-Demand automated provisioning solution.
• IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit - Joint customers can increase automation with better intelligence and drive closer to self-healing management of applications. Click here for more information.
