Evolven Comparison™ is an innovative Granular Configuration Automation solution that helps to reduce production risks, increase uptime and improve stability.

By comparing environments with each other, or with their historical or golden baselines, Evolven Comparison helps IT teams to identify granular changes and differences that pose risk to production. It compares entire environments, dives deep to the most granular level of configuration parameters, and applies analytics to allow IT teams to focus on what matters most.

IT teams use Evolven Comparison for release validation, incident investigation and disaster recovery verification, achieving less risk, more uptime and greater stability. 

Production Environment is at Risk

Times have changed. The number of underlying changes mixed with the complexity in the IT landscape has spawned new types of challenges.

A typical environment includes thousands of different configuration parameters (for example, IBM Websphere holds over 16,000 configuration parameters alone) in which the mis-configuration or disregard of just a single setting, can cause an incident with major impact on the IT environment and business: reputation damage, dissatisfied customers, financial losses, legal liabilities, and full re-organization.

In a recent survey, over 85% of VPs of Operations and VPs of Infrastructure classified the accurate investigation of the root-cause of environment instabilities as very challenging and involving significant effort.

Evolven Comparison Identifies Changes and Differences Posing Risk

Evolven Comparison allows IT Operations and Infrastructure teams to easily compare two different environments, or an environment's current snapshot with a historical snapshot of when it was working well or its golden baseline.

Evolven Comparison is powerful:

• Compares the entire environment: wide variety of applications and their underlying infrastructure
• Compares the most granular level of environments configuration and content, allowing organizations to capture the root-cause of issues and incidents, no matter how minute
• Analyzes criticality and impact of changes and differences, allows users to hone in on the root-cause of their environments' issues

Key Benefits: Less Risk, More Uptime, Increased Stability

• Reduce Production Outage Risk:  Increase stability of releases and detect unauthorized changes to prevent outages and high impact incidents
• Minimize System Downtime:  Quickly pinpoint to the incident’s root-cause and cut time to repair
• Enhance Security & Compliance:  Leverage granular visibility and audit-trail to meet demanding security and compliance requirements
