BMC and AWS Collaborate to Improve Enterprise Cloud Visibility
BMC, a global leader in IT solutions for the Autonomous Digital Enterprise, announced that BMC Helix Discovery, a cloud-native discovery and dependency mapping solution, is offering integrated use of AWS Systems Manager. This integration enables customers to easily and securely identify and dynamically map all resources on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

To effectively manage entire organizations, modern enterprises must have 360-degree visibility into their cloud environments and all assets securely and dynamically – with minimal manual effort. Working with AWS, BMC streamlined the overall discovery process to deliver a comprehensive topology needed for operational excellence.
Prior to this innovation, operators had to open security ports to enable use of Secure Shell (SSH) to perform an Amazon EC2 discovery and obtain a dependency map. SSH requires multiple scans and custom security credentials per instance, resulting in a very manual and time intensive process. AWS Systems Manager enables customers to maintain a high security standard for their AWS workloads while reaping the benefits of the BMC Helix Discovery solution in managing their infrastructure and applications.
“We designed AWS Systems Manager to securely and easily enable visibility of operational data on AWS. We’re excited that now, with BMC Helix Discovery, customers can get the level of detail they demand,” said Siva Padisetty, General Manager, AWS Management Tools, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “As organizations move toward an Autonomous Digital Enterprise, this innovative approach to discovery lets organizations modernize their operations management and manage at scale.”
