Controlling Change in a Virtual Environment

The elimination of physical barriers to change in the datacenter allows increasing complexity to grow unabated by traditional constraints. The need to implement industry standard practices around change, configuration and release management, and the need to effectively employ tools that automate and track the deployment of change becomes increasingly urgent in this dynamic environment. In this session, you will learn how to control change across a wide variety of platforms — both physical and virtual — using ITIL best processes, the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite and BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
