Business Wire
Opsware Inc. (NASDAQ: OPSW), the leading provider of Data Center
Automation software, today announced that Network Computing named
Opsware Process Automation System the Editor�s Choice solution in
this month�s comparative review of process automation products.
Opsware Process Automation System received the award based on its
comprehensive feature set, scalability and synergies across
servers, network devices, applications and storage. Of the 16
different IT Process Automation features evaluated, Opsware
achieved the highest score, outperforming Opalis Integration Server
and RealOps AMP. Network Computing judged process automation or
run-book automation (RBA) products based on their usability,
deployment, auditing and reporting, and pricing. In referring to
Opsware, Network Computing states that �Opsware has a big advantage
with its visually guided process engine. Opsware�s ability to
produce a set of extremely polished documents that described all
our processes was impressive.� Network Computing further praises
Opsware, saying �Opsware�s business-intelligence dashboard is the
leader of the pack. Incident, problem and change-management
visibility are included out-of-box. Useful reports for MTTR
trending, cumulative ROI, most frequent resolution flows and
incident alerting are all there.� �Opsware Process Automation
System stands out as a leader with a good balance of features and
scalability,� said Michael Biddick, Contributing Editor at Network
Computing. �Since Opsware also has configuration-management tools,
there are some compelling synergies with configuration management
across the network, application and storage infrastructure.
Opsware�s documentation ability and visually guided processes also
are key differentiators for environments that require these
features and provide full transparency to IT operations.� Network
Computing further endorses the technical superiority of Opsware
Process Automation System, saying �Opsware provides a good balance
of integration support and pre-built workflow for most enterprises.
Its pre-built application and network-specific workflow can be a
big help to organizations getting started in process automation.�
Network Computing cites additional benefits, including �One unique
feature we really liked is the ability to assign a dollar amount to
individual workflow-process components. This is useful in an
environment where IT charges for IT services.� �Network Computing�s
real world comparative review clearly demonstrates the technical
superiority and unmatched performance of the Opsware Process
Automation System,� said Tim Howes, EVP of Research &
Development and CTO at Opsware Inc. �Process automation, which
Network Computing identifies as important to reducing costs and
complexity of IT systems, is at the center of Opsware�s zero
latency approach to data center management. This outstanding
achievement furthers Opsware�s leadership in IT automation, placing
us a giant step ahead of the market for breadth and depth of
automation capabilities and overall value delivered to customers.�
