Aternity and StackSafe were very highly ranked by Joshua Jaffe over at TechConfidential.
Aternity looks very interesting and would be a key component in a maturing Business Service Management (BSM) solution. They have a webinar upcoming that I plan to attend to see what else I can learn. I know they follow the blogosphere, so maybe they can chime in with some technical, non-marketing information on their solution, capabilities and how they see their solution enabling BSM.
StackSafe has some interesting stuff from what I can tell from reviewing their website. Their technology seems to be firmly rooted in the dev, test, QA world and all things before something is put into production. Change management, what if testing, etc. I could easily see this stuff as another approach for a dev-test lab for the monitoring tools group to leverage. I’d position this as a way for the typical EMS/NMS team have their own virtual labs and business service or application copies that they can instrument using their normal tools, test scenarios, events, metrics collection, etc. StackSafe, if you’re out there, would be interested in talking about how we could do something like this at DevCampTivoli.

Hi Doug-
Yes, we are out here. I’m the Senior Product Manager with Stacksafe and we really like your suggestion about DevCampTivoli… sounds interesting and we’d enjoy discussing with you further. Just to clarify, Test Center helps IT Operations groups test all the changes that they need to make to production infrastructures. For example, applications that have been QA tested and ‘thrown over the wall’ to IT Operations still need one final certification test to make sure that the application won’t impact any software in the production infrastructure. IT Operations has the same certification requirement for patches, security upgrades, new releases of vendor software, database enhancements, etc.
Dennis,
I knew you were watching! 🙂 Replied direct.
