Whether the business needs to apply a database security patch within 30 days, easily identify and remediate 'Gold Build' deviations or report database drift over time, BMC BladeLogic Database Automation can help. Related functionality includes:

  • Simple method to define a standard 'model' of a database, cluster, instance or any other object managed

  • Dramatic reduction in the certification process to deploy and patch databases as +100 step processes are reduced to 3-4 steps with highly predictable results - perfect for regulations
