Higher levels of complexity, coexistence, and constant change in today’s data center make understanding business applications, services, and their underlying infrastructure nearly impossible using traditional discovery and mapping methods. To manage complex business applications and digital services effectively, IT organizations must have a dependable, accurate data center map of all assets, their dependencies, and information about how they support the business. Without this, they risk being overwhelmed by constant firefighting efforts to avoid IT problems that can lead to revenue loss, reduced profitability, brand damage, and unhappy customers going to the competition.
