Leading Analyst Firm Spotlights nSolutions for Improving IT Service Delivery With Unique Change and Configuration Management Appliance

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - May 22, 2008) - nSolutions announced today that a recent commentary released by Richard Ptak, managing partner and analyst with Ptak, Noel & Associates LLC, has commended the company's Network Ontology and Virtualization Appliance (NOVA™) for uniquely combining high levels of automation with intelligent analysis across the entire IT infrastructure -- physical and virtual devices -- reducing risks and improving IT services.

"The recognition that change and configuration management linked with root-cause and fault isolation are key components is not a new concept," said Ptak. "Their [nSolutions] insight was to take a comprehensive, end-to-end view of the service and to recognize the necessity of managing infrastructure components as resources, not individually unique silos of technology. The nSolutions innovation was to build a unified view of the infrastructure, while concentrating their management view on the performance of the service delivery."

Ptak's commentary differentiates NOVA from today's typical change and configuration management solutions for providing:

--  A unique business services oriented view of infrastructure
    configuration-based dependencies.
--  Detailed visibility into infrastructure resources in real time, via
    its standards-based auto configuration discovery.
--  Full lifecycle management of infrastructure resources - physical,
    logical or virtual.
--  A (virtualized) logical construct based on automatically discovered
    configuration states of the infrastructure.
--  As well as cutting horizontally across the device silos to proactively
    manage changes and configurations from an IT resources perspective.
    

"nSolutions combines high levels of automation with intelligent analysis to provide actionable directions to control the IT infrastructure based on its impact on the business service. They have carved themselves a position at the leading edge of intelligent infrastructure management. We think any IT manager that examines these products will find much to interest them," concluded Ptak.

"In today's dynamic IT infrastructure environments managing change for assured service delivery is a business imperative. The point tools currently used to manage change in the operational silos of IT are a highly reactive, error prone, manual approach that results in increased business risk at high operational costs," said Dr. Harish Rao, nSolutions' CEO. "The findings outlined in Ptak's briefing reinforce our value proposition -- that automation and control provides assured service delivery, enables proactive continuous compliance, minimizes business risk from IT and dramatically reduces operational costs."
