Discovery & Dependency Mapping

Automatically discover physical and virtual IT assets and applications — and the relationships between them — with BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping. Atrium ADDM enables you to answer the question “What do I have?” by discovering details about your IT infrastructure, including accurate hardware and software inventory information on servers and network devices. It also helps you to answer the next question, “How is it connected?” by identifying the interdependencies and automatically building application dependency maps that show how the IT infrastructure supports business services.

BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping uses an agent-less approach to build a complete topology of your applications and infrastructure, including servers, operating systems, software, network devices, business applications, and dependencies, and updates it as often as you need. It discovers Windows, Linux®, UNIX® and Netware environments using standard management protocols, such as SSH, WMI, and SNMP. This product uses a z/OS discovery agent to quickly inventory the z/OS platform and all major software subsystems. And, through out-of-the-box integration with the BMC Atrium CMDB, you will deliver accurate resource and relationship information to your Business Service Management applications and processes.
