How Mazu Profiler Helps
Discovery
Mazu Profiler enables you to maintain accurate, up-to-date inventories of applications, users, and systems with dependency maps which can feed your CMDB. Mazu Profiler supports user-defined intervals with no blackout periods to support all your discovery needs. Mazu Profiler's passive approach eliminates the need for scanning, agents, or other invasive approaches.
Impact Analysis
Mazu Profiler enables you to understand the impact of any change - planned or unplanned - on the network to minimize disruption and reduce the risk of change.
Mazu Profiler in Action
The network engineering team at a global financial insurance company is routinely notified of new applications needing rollout. They try to delay the deployment until they can model the application which provides good detail in a 22-page color report. But once the application is deployed on the network, they lose all visibility into how the application is behaving and how it is affecting other applications. The customer uses Mazu Profiler to "fingerprint" the relationship of the distributed components of the applications using rule-based events. If applications violate the rules, the network team is notified.
