Since July 8th, 2009 EMC's IT management products Smarts, Voyence, Infra, ControlCenter and ConfigureSoft are unified under a single name — EMC Ionix.
Coined from “eye on IT” or “it”, Ionix joins together our market-leading Smarts, Voyence, Infra, ControlCenter, and now Configuresoft products under one product family for managing holistically across all the critical IT domains in the data center. Ionix leverages EMC’s expertise across IT—from the data center to the operations center to the service desk.
EMC’s Resource Management Software Group (RMSG) is also renamed EMC Ionix Software Group, effective immediately.
EMC Ionix provides next generation IT management—helping customers on their journey from Physical to Virtual to the Cloud.
Ionix is a family of automated IT management solutions created to equip IT managers for their virtualization journey. It leverages EMC’s expertise across the data center—including servers, network, storage, applications, and virtualization. EMC Ionix helps customer accelerate through this virtualization journey by providing:
- Dynamic Insight into the real-time physical-to-virtual infrastructure dependencies for critical applications to
- minimize business risk when virtualizing mission-critical applications or
- improve information accuracy by auto-populating a federated CMDB enabling improved change management and impact analysis.
- Model-based Control to automatically check data center configurations for compliance against internal best practices, industry best practices (e.g. VMware hardening guidelines) or industry regulations (PCI, SOX, HIPAA) and remediate compliance violations at any level—physical or virtual. This helps companies manage more than 3x as many devices per admin while reducing risk of downtime and compliance violation.
- Collaborative IT to automate workflows and ensure sharing of actionable information (e.g. service-affecting alerts or critical compliance) across IT teams— including data center engineering, IT operations team, and the service desk. For example, this helps the IT operations team more quickly identify root cause and restore service by knowing all the recent configuration changes that have occurred across the storage, server, and network engineering groups.
