Clarity Software Helps Customers Automate Database Operations, Easing the
Management, Monitoring and Auditing of Mission-Critical Databases
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 17 -- GARTNER SYMPOSIUM/ITxpo -- /PRNewswire/ --
GridApp Systems, Inc. (http://www.gridapp.com), a leading provider of database
automation solutions, today announced the launch of GridApp Clarity software
from Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2005. Clarity is the first software solution to
focus exclusively on simplifying and automating time-consuming database
operations while offering a much-needed single view across heterogeneous
database platforms. GridApp Clarity complements general-purpose data center
automation software, providing a best practices approach to cross-platform
database management using specialized automation processes for configuration
management, patch management, auditing/compliance, replication and encryption.
Increasingly complex database environments and strict external compliance
requirements are forcing enterprises to rethink how they build and manage
their database infrastructure. As a result, the ability to enforce procedures,
quickly adapt to changing IT requirements and track user activity is becoming
increasingly critical. GridApp Systems' Clarity transforms the existing
database infrastructure into a centrally administered and automated data
utility, regardless of whether the platform is Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase
or a combination of these databases. By simplifying repetitive tasks,
enforcing standard operating procedures and correlating events for root cause
analysis, organizations can dramatically improve database reliability,
performance and cost efficiency.
"The ad-hoc management and lack of standardization across large database
deployments has left many organizations struggling to comply with policies
regarding the administration and security of databases," said Rob Gardos, CEO
of GridApp Systems. "With GridApp Clarity, we've removed much of the
complexity and work involved with managing cross-platform database
deployments, improving the efficiency of day-to-day operations and reducing
the time and effort required to manage mission critical databases."
Regardless of the size or scope of their existing architecture, companies
using GridApp Clarity can perform the following functions automatically:
* Obtain a unified view into multi-platform database deployments
* Discover and inventory versions and patch levels across the entire
database population
* Track database configuration and design in a central location
* Dynamically provision database resources to meet business SLAs
* Clone databases to support testing and rollout of new products
* Deploy patches in minutes to hundreds of databases
* Automatically repair faults in database operation
* Scale database capacity on demand and online
* Enables the rapid deployment of business continuity and disaster
recovery relationships
* Log all database accesses and other pertinent activity in a secure,
write-once format
* Obtain invaluable evidence of compliance for SOX 404, HIPAA, 21 CFR
part 11, Basel II, GLBA, and similar regulations
A demo of Clarity is available at the GridApp Systems booth (#1109) at
Gartner Symposium/ITxpo.
