At the foundation of mValent Integrity™ is a unique, patent-pending dynamic model for configuration management that delivers the "big picture" view of application infrastructure. With this view, IT can model changes and anticipate their impact, automate delivery and report on change for IT compliance.

Application infrastructure consists of many moving parts from a multitude of vendors —application servers, Web servers, databases and middleware. Typically, IT manages numerous instances of that infrastructure for any business-critical application—development, QA, staging, performance testing and many multiple instances for production and disaster recovery.

Trying to perform configuration management in this environment is like trying to solve a Rubik’s® Cube, except there are many more dimensions to the puzzle. mValent Integrity’s patent-pending Dynamic Configuration Model (DCM) is the core technology that aligns all the puzzle pieces enabling automated configuration and change management—within specific products and technologies, across products and technologies, across environments and across applications.

Furthermore, the environment is always changing—it’s not a static puzzle. So, mValent’s DCM not only accommodates configurations and their dependencies today, but also adapts and dynamically models them as they change.

The Dynamic Configuration Model (DCM) delivers these critical capabilities:

• Comprehensive Repository for Configuration Management – mValent Integrity’s DCM discovers and defines relationships, then displays the n-dimensional dependencies within assets, lifecycles and interdependencies among technology layers.
• Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Integration -mValent Integrity integrates deeply with a federated CMDB by providing detailed asset configuration information.
• Change Modeling and Forecasting – The DCM lets you see the impact of change before you deploy it, using intelligent comparison strategies that show you only the meaningful changes or differences. The DCM visualizes the subtle interdependencies in the application stack that IT teams cannot see unaided, eliminating the problem where a configuration change to one asset causes failures in seemingly unrelated areas.
• Foundation for Automating Build, Change and Release Processes - The DCM provides the basis to define “gold master” versions of configurations that can then be used to automate today’s manual tasks for building new versions of infrastructure, creating change sets and provisioning the changes across all environments.
• Foundation for IT Best Practices – The DCM enables process automation and standards that reflect industry standards such as ITIL and COBIT.
• Automated Compliance Reporting – The DCM’s dynamic nature natively supports the data collection and tracking necessary for reporting.
