Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Selects CiRBA for Data Center Intelligence; CiRBA Will Support Risk Management for Statewide Infrastructure and Operations.TORONTO & HARRISBURG, Pa. -- CiRBA Inc., a leader in Data Center Intelligence, today announced that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has licensed CiRBA's Data Center Intelligence (DCI (Display Control Interface) An Intel/Microsoft programming interface for full-motion video and games in Windows. It allowed applications to take advantage of video accelerator features built into the display adapter. ) solution to detect detailed configurations and understand differences between systems across the data center.

Duties for the Department include: inspected the working conditions in factories, administering benefits to unemployed individuals and , Pennsylvania State Police The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is the state police force of Pennsylvania, responsible for statewide law enforcement. It was founded in 1905 by order of Governor Samuel Pennypacker, in response to the private police forces used by mine and mill owners to stop worker strikes , Department of State and Transportation, among others. CiRBA will provide deep visibility into the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's IT infrastructure, supporting risk management for the ongoing deployment of new and existing applications. "Our team is responsible for servicing and supporting the various state agencies in Pennsylvania," explained Stephen Dunn Stephen Dunn (b. 1939, New York City) is an American poet. Dunn has written fourteen collections of poetry, and has won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his 2001 collection, Different Hours. , Enterprise Server Farm Manager for the Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Administration. "To ensure successful operations, we follow a rigorous deployment methodology to test new applications before putting them into production for statewide use. We plan to use CiRBA to minimize potential risk by automating the process of comparing configurations in our staging and production environments. Ultimately, this will enable us to better serve our statewide agencies, giving us a high degree of confidence as we deploy new applications and put them into production." CiRBA's software solution detects highly detailed configurations, changes and differences across heterogeneous environments Using hardware and system software from different vendors. Organizations often use computers, operating systems and databases from a variety of vendors. Contrast with homogeneous environment. , providing a clear advantage to organizations struggling with manual processes for analyzing the data center to pinpoint risks, problems and opportunities for optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. . For the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, CiRBA will identify differences between staging and production environments so environment configuration differences that could adversely impact application performance are identified and corrected prior to the application being promoted into the production environment. "Despite the accelerating number of applications and new software added to the data center on a daily basis, organizations today are challenged by limited resources for production support," said Gerry Smith, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of CiRBA. "Testing applications in a stage environment isn't always enough, as there can be unexpected variables when moving code into actual production. Data Center Intelligence can support a number of business initiatives from risk management to IT asset optimization, ultimately affording customers tighter control over their infrastructure and operations." About CiRBA Inc. CiRBA is a leading provider of Data Center Intelligence (DCI) solutions. CiRBA software provides IT organizations with the empirical configuration and workload analyses required to uncover waste in the data center and identify associated consolidation and virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work.
