"RDA is the first solution to discover, model, diagnose and provide remedialguidance in a virtualized data center infrastructure. With its new capabilities,RDA has become even better at detecting and preventing faults before they cancause downtime," said Oren Teich, vice president of product management atReplicate Technologies. "As virtualization becomes more broadly deployed anddata centers increase their mix of physical and virtual infrastructure,Replicate will continue to integrate new features into its predictive faultmanagement model to address complex environments and provide IT with a solutionto help address management concerns." RDA provides a breakthrough approach to fault management by leveraging servervirtualization, ending the conventional break-fix cycle by using both preventiveand remediation analysis to avoid and solve configuration errors in virtualizeddatacenters. RDA builds up a comprehensive model of a virtualized datacenterthrough a unique combination of discovery mechanisms. Combining empirical datafrom Replicate probes with configuration information derived from existingsystem management tools, RDA constructs a unified view of the datacenter acrossall administrative domains.
