Given the complexities of today's enterprise systems, managing change throughout the IT datacenter presents a tremendous challenge. Tripwire Enterprise, together with BMC® Atrium™ CMDB, enable IT organizations to quickly zero in on changes made to systems and devices in order to immediately remediate undesirable (unplanned and unauthorized) changes, which can prevent the CMDB from reflecting an accurate and known system state.

With Tripwire and BMC Atrium CMDB, organizations are alerted to fragile systems, such as those with high change rates, high number of unauthorized changes, non-conformance to configuration standards, and those that don't match like systems. Measures can be taken to remediate problems, and Tripwire can help management enforce change policies, further assuring the integrity and success of the CMDB.

The Tripwire and BMC Remedy AR System integration brings added value to change management by increasing accountability and control over the unauthorized or unplanned changes that can increase risk and decrease operational efficiencies. It also helps IT organizations accelerate the ROI of strategic initiatives.

How the Tripwire BMC Atrium CMDB Integration Works:

  • BMC Atrium CMDB collects and stores information about systems, devices and applications in a central repository, including associated configurations and files.
  • BMC Atrium CMDB detects a system or device change. Alternately, Tripwire Enterprise can monitor and detect system and device changes, alerting designated personnel when a change is discovered.
  • While viewing the specific configuration item within BMC Atrium CMDB, IT staff can launch Tripwire Enterprise via a right-click menu option or by clicking a button.
  • Tripwire Enterprise provides details about the change including the "before" and "after" state of the system and who made the change, providing IT personnel the information they need to examine and remediate potential risks.

Tripwire Professional Services can integrate BMC Atrium CMDB with Tripwire's widely recognized configuration audit and control capabilities. This powerful combination enables organizations to realize an accelerated and effective ITIL adoption.
