1.1 What is Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager?

Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager is a software product that centrally manages the configuration information of an entire system including hardware, OS, and middleware.

In recent years there has been a growing trend for the ICT department of a company to use virtualization to consolidate corporate servers in data centers, in order to improve cost competitiveness. However, the workload on system administrators is increasing, as it is no longer possible to keep up with dynamic changes or increasing server resources (such as IP addresses, operating systems, and middleware).

Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager makes it possible to centrally manage the information of the hardware and the information of the resources that have been dynamically deployed via the cloud. Moreover, the ability to install software, manage software parameters and the status of patch applications to servers, enables the workload of system administrators to be reduced.

It is also possible to limit the range of which software configuration information is visible and which operations can be performed according to the tenancy that the administrator belongs to and the privileges of that administrator, thereby making it possible to prevent operation mistakes and reduce security risks.
