BMC Network Automation is the industry-leading solution for automated management, control, and enforcement of network configuration changes in the data center. As part of the BMC BladeLogic Service Automation Suite, it provides a cross-platform solution for managing both physical and virtual assets —in the traditional data center and in the cloud.

This easy-to-install and easy-to-use solution:

• Automatically generates the change scripts used to implement mass configuration updates, enforce policies, and perform non-disruptive rollbacks
• Simplifies complex configuration changes using pre-defined jobs and configuration templates
• Implements network containers and service profiles for repeatable IT service provisioning
• Automatically groups network elements for targeted job execution
• Streamlines access control list (ACL) management and eliminates security vulnerabilities during updates
• Maintains a trusted baseline configuration for one-click comparison and remediation
• Provides real-time, policy-based compliance auditing based on built-in content and user-defined rules
• Quickly identifies and quarantines suspect endpoints

With BMC, you will:

• Rapidly provision network changes in virtualized data centers, including automated service request fulfillment of cloud services
• Reduce operational costs by up to 80% through automation and one-click rollback
• Eliminate the number one cause of network outages – erroneous configuration changes
• Ensure continuous compliance with internal best practices and regulatory standards (HIPAA, NERC, PCI, SOX, etc.)
• Extend enterprise-wide change management initiatives to the network level
