VMware vCenter™ Conﬁguration Manager (formerly

EMC Ionix Server Conﬁguration Manager) automates

conﬁguration management across virtual and physical

servers and desktops, increasing eciency by

eliminating manual, error-prone and time-consuming

work. This allows enterprises to maintain continuous

compliance by detecting changes and comparing

them to conﬁguration and security policies.

Conﬁguration Manager remediates problems and

automates and optimizes server provisioning for

complete virtualized datacenter control.

vCenter Conﬁguration Manager

Policy-Driven Conﬁguration Management and Compliance Control

What Is VMware vCenter

Conﬁguration Manager?

VMware vCenter Conﬁguration Manager is a policy-driven

conﬁguration automation solution that detects deep system

changes and checks whether those changes are compliant to

industry, regulatory or your own self-deﬁned best practices. It

helps you avoid conﬁguration drift by remediating systems to

bring them back into compliance, managing change, server

provisioning, and application stack optimization.

Conﬁguration Manager automates critical IT conﬁguration

management and compliance processes across thousands of

asset, security and conﬁguration settings from VMware vSphere™,

VMware ESXi™ and ESX®, Windows, UNIX or Linux servers and

user desktops, providing a powerful, business-aligned system

with uniﬁed conﬁguration insight.

How Is VMware vCenter

Conﬁguration Manager Used?

VMware vCenter Conﬁguration Manager ensures the integrity of

your virtualized datacenter and lowers IT audit costs by providing

automated compliance assessments against VMware and Microsoft

security best practice guides, industry best practices and your

own policies.

•Gain conﬁguration insight and agility and avoid conﬁguration

drift by automating discovery, collection, change detection and

policy violation identiﬁcation for more than 80,000

conﬁguration settings.

•Maintain continuous compliance with out-of-the-box templates

that contain policy-driven rules, reports and dashboards that

ensure security, regulatory and operational compliance.

•Automate server provisioning and optimize application stack

deployment with bare metal provisioning (BMP) and just

enough operating system (JeOS).

How Does vCenter

Conﬁguration Manager Work?

vCenter Conﬁguration Manager is the only end-to-end

conﬁguration management solution that combines deep server

and workstation conﬁguration management and provisioning

with out-of-the-box, built-in compliance intelligence, across
