Configuration Management provides automated discovery, fine-grained tracking, and smooth provisioning of all hardware assets, software components, and low level configuration property information. Integrating with other change management systems, it offers an agent less, low overhead collection and an agent -based, real time configuration change detection. Configuration Management prevents configuration drift with "gold master" configurations, configuration comparison and remediation, and change alerts. It also includes out -of box policies and blueprints to enforce enterprise-wide compliance with regulatory and industry standards.
