What Makes Evolven Comparison™ So Powerful?

Evolven Comparison includes a unique set of powerful capabilities to deliver environment comparisons that effectively prevent and allow for the quick investigation of IT environment incidents.
It compares entire environments, dives deep to capture even the most granular configuration parameter, and analyzes results to allow you to focus on what matters most.

COMPARES THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT

An Integrative, Top-down Comparison

Modern business systems include interdependent layers of applications and infrastructure. Focusing on only one layer, or on a point technology, leaves room for error, and ignores critical context and interdependencies. It's only by focusing on the entire environment that one can ensure a stable business service that meets agreed to service levels.

Evolven Comparison:

Compares the entire environment: applications and their underlying software infrastructure stack, including: applications, front-end servers, middleware, databases, messaging layer and operating systems Applies environment perspective, rather than only being able to focus on a particular server or point technology Compares logical environment architecture and not merely infrastructure components, thus allowing for the comparison of business applications, even when they are on different physical topologies

DELIVERS IN-DEPTH COMPARISON

The Devil is in Indeed in the Details...

IT environments are complex. A typical environment includes thousands of different configuration parameters in which the misconfiguration or disregarding of a single configuration, can cause an environment incident with major impact on the IT and business service.  When it comes to environment configuration, the devil is indeed in the details.

Evolven Comparison:

Covers all facets of the environment, including the architecture, configuration and bill-of-materials Drills-down to the most granular level of the individual configuration parameter in any configuration source, including configuration files, registry, database schema, stored procedures, and reference data held in the database Compares the content of each environment component, including: version, size, checksum, modification date etc.

APPLIES COMPARISON ANALYTICS

Focus on What Matters Most

With the complexity of IT environments, involving thousands of different configuration parameters, it can be a challenge to turn IT environment comparisons into actionable information that supports decision making. Evolven Comparison's unique Comparison Engine™ includes a set of technologies that allows just that: clear, definitive information that highlights the critical root cause and its impact.

Evolven Comparison:

Analyzes changes and differences with a focus on their criticality and impact. Evolven Comparison classifies changes and differences by their impact, prioritizes and highlights based on criticality, ignores insignificant changes and differences, and even allows for the effective comparison of inherently different environments (e.g. test vs. production) Visualizes comparison results for fast and easy analysis Leverages a customizable Impact Knowledge Base and embedded logic to ensure meaningful and useful comparisons

BENEFITS

• Increase environment stability - obtain and maintain environment stability through the identification and analysis of changes and differences that put your environment's stability at risk, both right at release and throughout their ongoing operations
• Cut investigation time and effort - significantly cut the time and effort spent on identifying and investigating environment issues and analyzing their root-cause
• Transition with confidence - prevent production outages and ensure accuracy and consistency during environment transitions and releases
