MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- BDNA Corporation, the leading provider of Global Technology Inventory solutions, announced it has joined the BMC Software MarketZone Program to populate Asset information in to the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (CMDB). BDNA's solutions focus on capturing inventory information across asset classes ranging from desktops to servers, printers, network devices and industry-specific equipment such as networked scanners and MRI devices and IP enabled military devices.
BDNA also announced today that the BDNA Accelerator for BMC Atrium CMDB has been certified for use with the BMC Atrium CMDB and through the AIE protocol, assuring customers a seamless, out-of-the-box connection of BDNA data into BMC Atrium CMDB. The integration of BDNA and BMC Atrium CMDB gives customers visibility into their IT infrastructure, enabling them to baseline and audit IT hardware and software operations and spend across the enterprise for complex, distributed and heterogeneous environments, such as government agencies and healthcare organizations.
"The success and adoption of the BMC Atrium CMDB demonstrates the value that a CMDB can bring to any enterprise," said Fred Johannessen, vice president, Technology Alliance and MarketZone Programs, BMC Software. "To ensure our customers have the greatest visibility into their infrastructures and are poised to make successful business decisions in partnership with the IT organization, BMC is committed to working with partners, such as BDNA, to ensure our mutual customers have baseline inventory information specific to their IT environment."
"BDNA is focused on giving IT organizations the information they need to better manage their business -- both operationally and financially -- within their dynamic, complex environments," said Ray Homan, CEO of BDNA Corporation. "By populating the BMC Atrium CMDB with our data, we are able to populate BMC's industry-leading CMDB with information about all IP-connected assets, including various industry-specific equipment such as process control devices, medical devices and more. This enables customers to begin using this repository more quickly to manage their IT environment and continuously monitor its integrity to increase decision-making confidence."

* Populate their BMC Atrium CMDB with inventory of networked technology assets across the enterprise * Maintain the BMC Atrium CMDB records over time by updating the CMDB with BDNA-discovered asset information including software inventory through BDNA's agent-less mechanism * Identify gaps or discrepancies in their CMDB and quickly reconcile their records against the reality of their IT environment
