PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES

Dependency Mapping and BMC Client Discovery into a comprehensive discovery
solution across data center assets and client devices.
• Inventory your IT assets—know what
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date IT asset information is more easily said than
done. Manual discovery is a time-consuming and error-prone process that can
be nearly impossible to maintain over time—especially for IT organizations under
pressure to respond to fast-changing business needs. Autodiscovery is now a
foundational requirement for every IT organization. In addition, tracking assets
has been complicated by the ever-changing locations of client-side devices and the
need to maximize software investments.
BMC SOLUTION
BMC Atrium Discovery Solution is an integrated toolset that unifies the process
for discovering the broadest range of IT assets—physical, virtual, network, and
client—documenting the relationships between them, and continuously updating
the BMC Atrium CMDB to reflect dynamic changes to that data. By unifying these
comprehensive discovery capabilities into a unique and integrated solution, BMC
ensures that you always have an accurate picture of your IT environment, both
hardware and software, and eliminates the need for fragmented tools that require
cumbersome and error-prone manual steps.
