Provisioning

Standardized and consistent database systems are critical to ensuring your database architecture remains manageable and secure. In most enterprises, the combination of a multi-step manual process and multiple administrators creates major challenges to enforcing standard operating procedures when provisioning new databases.

GridApp Clarity database provisioning provides a simple, automated solution for database provisioning that ensures maximum uniformity of build and minimal user interaction. Using GridApp Clarity, users can:

• Create a gold build and/or standard image database and deploy it anywhere

• Dynamically deploy databases based on business rules

• Make creating a database a one-click event

• Broaden the database deployment process to inherently include activities including

• Applying patches
• Configuring monitoring
• Setting up backups
• Configuring auditing
• Validation of a security baseline

• Integrate with 3^rd party systems related to deployment (e.g. ticketing system)

Clarity eliminates the need for organizations to develop and maintain scripts to automate database deployment, freeing up valuable DBA time for more strategic activities.

The powerful combination of Clarity automation and the Clarity auditing engine ensures that database provisioning is an audited event, simplifying compliance. As soon as a new database is provisioned, it's immediately logged and audited, then fed back into the system so that it can easily be viewed.
