mValent Integrity v5 Delivers Advanced Configuration Provisioning and Compliance Reporting Capabilities to Global Enterprise IT Teams

WALTHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--mValent, Inc. (http://www.mvalent.com), a leading provider of
automated application configuration management solutions, today
introduced mValent Integrity v5. Targeted at infrastructure and
application support teams who require advanced tools for application
configuration, change and release management, mValent Integrity v5
includes advanced new capabilities for provisioning configuration
settings simultaneously to large-scale distributed environments,
detecting and managing configuration changes and in-depth change
reporting for IT audit and compliance.

This latest release of mValent Integrity, the company's flagship
product, reflects the growing realization of global customers that
their existing approaches to managing application configurations
prevent them from rapidly delivering cutting-edge applications that
drive competitive advantage and are economically burdensome. mValent
Integrity v5 removes these IT obstacles with automated deployment
tools that provision configuration settings across multiple hosts and
locations, alleviating labor-intensive and error-prone manual efforts
which frequently delay global roll-outs of new applications or
upgrades.

mValent Integrity v5 also adds advanced analytical capabilities to
its best-in-class "Compare" tool that pinpoints configuration
inconsistencies that frequently cause application downtime or outages.
Additionally, the new release delivers automated change dashboard
reports to senior IT managers so that they can track 'drift' from
configuration standards, allowing them to head off compliance problems
before they arise.

"IT teams face continual pressure to improve application uptime
and staff productivity, reduce fire drills and automate IT audit and
compliance in order to meet and exceed the needs of the business,"
said Joe Forgione, President and CEO of mValent, Inc. "This latest
release of our product represents a significant step in our ongoing
quest to provide our customers with a dynamic, repeatable,
process-driven approach for configuration, change and release
management of the infrastructure supporting their mission-critical
business applications and services."

Key features of mValent Integrity v5 include:

-- Simultaneous Provisioning of Multiple Global Hosts--Using a
single source as a configuration 'gold master', mValent
Integrity v5 can provision application configuration settings
to a virtually unlimited number of target host systems. This
can be done for any single element in the application
infrastructure (including application servers, Web servers,
databases, middleware and operating systems) or across the
entire software stack. Additionally, mValent Integrity can
provision configuration setting changes at a fine-grained,
'surgical' level when only specific anomalies need to be
corrected across globally distributed environments.

-- Automated 'Compare' Capability for Advanced Change
Detection--Detailed change detection and analysis can be set
to execute either on pre-determined schedules or on an ad-hoc
basis using mValent Integrity's advanced 'Compare' capability.
This automated feature can track configuration differences
across time between similar assets or whole environments
(answering the question, "What changed since yesterday?").
Advanced 'Compare' enables pinpointing of 'bad' differences by
intelligently suppressing 'good' differences.

-- Advanced Change Reporting for Compliance Applications--All
reports from the mValent Integrity v5 Infrastructure Change
Dashboard can be generated automatically and distributed via
e-mail to selected IT managers in multiple formats.

-- New Java API--mValent Integrity is a core part of customers'
multi-vendor service management software suite and thus
customers often require integration of its configuration and
change information with other tools such as ticketing systems
or configuration management databases (CMDBs). This new Java
API is added to the existing set of mValent APIs to offer
customers a broad set of integration capabilities.
