Unparalleled Application Integrity Today’s applications are more demanding Applications growth, both in numbers and complexity, is accelerating at a never-before-seen rate. Architectural changes introduced by different cloud architectures along with increased demands for portability and disaster recovery are stretching the limits of traditional application management tools. Application managers need a tool that allows them to spend less time monitoring application configurations and more time focusing on application functionality. Historically application managers have relied on a loosely connected set of federated tools to identify, capture, report and manage application configurations. CPlane Surveyor in conjunction with CPlane’s unique and powerful IT Discovery tool takes the headache out of creating and maintaining your application portfolio.

360 multi-level view of your application ecosystem for unprecedented visibility and control
Workflow Policy-based workflow with full roll-back for unmatched control and management of all service delivery functions
Immediate Business Impact A new view of applications CPlane Surveyor creates a new perspective of your applications and the relationships that exist between all the components of the application ecosystem. Unlike the traditional “infrastructure component” view that most products provide, Suveyor enables application managers to create a complete topology map of an application, including both upstream (those served by the application) and downstream (those that serve the application) resources. With this 3600 view application managers now have complete visibility to the status of all the resources that support their application – those under their direct control as well as those outside their direct control.
Lean IT with immediate payback
CPlane Surveyor use cases
No agents. No infrastructure changes. Installs in about an hour. Frictionless…

The CPlane framework comes as a virtual appliance that you can non-disruptively drop into your environment and immediately realize the benefits of having complete insight and control of your application configuration management. It takes only three easy steps:
• • • • •
Business application configuration and relationship modeling and monitoring Change detection and notification Configuration verification during planned changes Application problem root cause determination Auditing and compliance reporting Service assurance and application integrity
Install Surveyor (with CPlane Discovery) Enter environment parameters (e.g., IP ranges, user credentials) and run component discovery Identify application components and dependencies
CPlane Surveyor provides a level of business context that allows my clients to understand the key relationships between their mission critical applications and the IT infrastructure that enables them. The 360 degree, multi-level view that Surveyor provides helps eliminate the traditional siloed view of applications – and finger pointing when problems arise… Tim La Fazia – CEO, Infrastructure Development Corporation
