NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neebula Systems announces a free webinar on October 29 that will provide tips on effective change control in today's data centers where the pace of change is high and constantly accelerating - due to the plethora of new applications and the underlying technologies deployed to support them, such as virtualization and the cloud.
"The information technology (IT) and data center operations teams need to understand the business impact of each proposed change in the underlying IT infrastructure before those are made in order to minimize the impact on availability of critical applications to users," said Ariel Gordon, chief technology officer, Neebula. "Topological analysis is a new approach that can help with change, release, and configuration management activities by providing complete visibility to business impact. It achieves this through the deployment of accurate and always up-to-date unified (application and infrastructure) service models, which are integrated with monitoring capabilities."
Gordon, along with Neebula solution architect Stu Curtis, will provide tips for better controlling change and release management in today's data center through understanding business impact through topological maps and how IT organizations can:
- Take a proactive approach to change management that allows the Change Advisory Board (CAB) to fully understand the business impact of changes before they are approved;
- Quickly assess the severity of incidents and their impact to the business resulting from change activities;
- Maintain a full history of changes for quick identification and correction of systemic problems.

Optimized for software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery, Neebula encourages IT organizations to shift from monitoring data center silos (servers, network, storage, applications) to managing end-user business services (examples: CRM, billing, tax payment, fund transfer services). Believing that effective IT "Starts with the Map," Neebula's unique technology automatically creates and maintains a run-time map of business services including underlying physical, virtual, network, and storage infrastructure. Focused on business impact and realizing that IT should monitor only what matters, Neebula's run-time service map enriches event management and monitored information by presentation in the context of the business service, resulting in improved IT change control, rapid problem isolation, and meaningful service health monitoring. While no CMDB is required, Neebula service maps can be imported into software from BMC Software, CA Technologies, HP, IBM, and ServiceNow, making existing CMDBs "service-aware" with run-time accuracy.
