[Speakers] Ecora & SVLUG

[Patty Binette]

Hi Steve;
 
I would be interested in coordinating a presentation to SVLUG at an
upcoming meeting.  Ecora Software is the leading provider of Total
Configuration Management solutions for the IT Infrastructure. Our Total
Configuration Management solution suite is a proactive and holistic
approach to securing the IT infrastructure and reducing operational
costs thru multi-platform, enterprise-wide configuration reporting,
change monitoring, and patch management. With Ecora's TCM solution, IT
managers gain an advanced degree of knowledge and control over their IT
infrastructure that's impossible to achieve with traditional systems
management products or through manual data collection.
 
We would like to encourage the SVLUG community to take part in our trial
release of Ecora Auditor for UNIX (module supports RedHat, Solaris, HPUX
and AIX). Please go to our download area at http://www.ecora.com .
Please provide your feedback to feedback at ecora.co
<mailto:feedback at ecora.com> m . Requirements to test will require a
Windows machine.
 
Please let me know if we would be able to participate in one of your
upcoming meetings. I appreciate your time and consideration. My
coordinates are below.

ABOUT ENTERPRISE AUDITOR
Enterprise Auditor 3.0
GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR IT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH POWERFUL, FLEXIBLE
CROSS-PLATFORM CONFIGURATION REPORTING AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT By
automating configuration data collection, reporting, and change
tracking, Ecora mitigates IT risks and reduces the time and labor costs
associated with system changes, security, recovery, and IT compliance.
Now you can account for the state of your IT infrastructure at any given
moment and have a degree of knowledge and security unmatched by
labor-intensive manual approaches.
 
KEY BENEFITS OF ENTERPRISE AUDITOR 3.0
Cross-platform configuration data repository Ecora Enterprise Auditor
collects critical configuration data from Windows, Unix, Linux, NetWare,
Cisco, MS-SQL Server, Exchange, IIS, AD, Citrix, Oracle, and Lotus
Domino platforms into a Microsoft SQL database (or MSDE), creating a
cross-platform configuration repository. This data can be used for
auditing, reporting, disaster recovery, change identification and
tracking, and more. Imagine being able to manage configuration data for
all platforms from a single console. Enterprise Auditor supports snap-in
modules for the platforms you want to manage in one intuitive interface.
Hundreds of useful reports right out-of-the box Ecora Enterprise Auditor
provides hundreds of built-in database reports that quickly provide
solutions to many of the IT challenges you face every day. The built-in
reports automatically collect data for disaster recovery documentation,
regulatory compliance requirements, change tracking, security
assessments, and more. Enterprise Scalability
 
The cross-platform configuration repository efficiently handles critical
configuration data from thousands of servers, workstations, and network
devices running your IT infrastructure. The SQL Server database
instantly generates reports on configuration data and delivers the
answers you need - fast! Flexible and customizable reporting Enterprise
Auditor offers a simple drag-and-drop interface for creating customized
Fact Finding Reports (FFR) that let you choose only the data you need.
For example, a single cross-platform report can contain data from
Windows 2000 servers, Microsoft Exchange servers, and Sun Solaris or
HP-UX systems, as well as other platforms. All reports can be run
interactively or scheduled to run during off-hours or on a recurring
basis.
 
Consolidated Change Reporting
Want to be able to identify and track all changes that took place across
all critical systems in a single report? Now you can. View the "before
and after" information for every change or observe and closely track
every change that took place in any given time period. Especially useful
for identifying unauthorized changes that can compromise security,
create performance issues, and cause downtime. Enterprise Auditor's
console provides a single access point to the cross-platform
configuration repository and reports. Quickly move to each platform
module from the drop-down menu. The cross-platform configuration data
repository collects data from all your critical platforms, servers, and
network devices.

the wealth of configuration data and reports generated by the software.
Automatically save only what you need; move, copy, or delete aging
configuration data at specified intervals. Agent-free architecture.Ecora
