Standardization of various database environments is a challenge, even for organizations that have standards and policies in place. Manual configuration and change processes mean that the level of consistency is only as good as the individuals making the change, and there is no way to be able to identify how consistent the environments are. In addition, organizations may have many standards - "macro" standards that may apply to the entire database infrastructure, and "micro" standards that apply to just one application environment or business unit. These competing and sometimes conflicting standards only increase the likelihood that they will not be followed.
GridApp Clarity™ is a tool that not only automates the creation of standardized builds; it provides the only database-specific automated tool for ensuring ongoing standardization through simple-to-access reporting. Using Clarity, IT directors can "look back" and confirm whether standards and policies have been followed with every change made to the database. Clarity users can simply identify the differences, and take immediate steps to bring the database "back in line" if desired. In addition, configuration change activities can be automated through Clarity, making sure that approved changes are done quickly and correctly across all of the required nodes.
GridApp Clarity simplifies environment consistency in the following ways:
- Define standards centrally in Clarity, with no scripting required, and Clarity will automate the build and customization of those database environments
- Report on databases with misconfigured patches, initialization parameters, or storage configuration
- Automate change events with Clarity Actions™
- See all automated activities in one central location, with all output and results securely logged within Clarity
