"Fifthwave help provide orders-of-magnitude reductions in cost and complexity while simultaneously driving dramatic improvements in productivity and performance"

"Rather than being confined to single, large servers, today’s applications are distributed across the enterprise and geographic boundaries, frequently spanning many hundreds of servers, software components, network devices and storage systems."

Driven by the broad adoption of Internet technologies within enterprises, today’s IT organisations are challenged to manage applications that operate at a scale and complexity exponentially greater than that of even 7-10 years ago.

All of this has led to an explosion in IT costs and enormous application management complexity, with both budgets and service levels being hit hard.

To address this problem, Fifthwave’s integrated solution family automates Applications, Servers, Software components, Network devices and Storage systems across-the-board and for the first time allows IT to obtain a unified picture of an application’s complete presence within the Physical or Virtual enterprise.

Fifthwave helps align various IT departments involved in these initiatives by providing a unified platform for managing change and compliance with the following benefits:

• Automation of critical management functions - to provision, patch, secure, package, promote, audit, and remediate
• Deep visibility - into configuration inventory, change history, and compliance history
• Policy-based management - to enable support for best practices, standards, and regulations
• Role-based work management - to control access and facilitate collaboration between different groups and disciplines
• Extensibility - to enable integration with other complementary management tools in the data center
