Configuresoft tackles software license compliance on VMware virtual machines

Configuresoft Inc., a server configuration management company, has tailored its Enterprise Configuration Management (ECM) software to work with VMware Inc.'s VirtualCenter.

The new virtual machine (VM) configuration management tool from Configuresoft aims to ease the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance burden for IT staffers and easily identify software licensing concerns. Instead of requiring IT to track software licensing costs or sift through confusing VM problem reports -- which saddle IT with the uneasy task of identifying the culprit -- ECM software purports to make sense of the information and automatically resolve problems.

ECM software for virtualized environments is particularly important as data centers strive to stay in compliance with software licensing requirements. ECM can track the software packages deployed in virtual guests, and its relatively straightforward interface indicates how many licenses are owned, how many are installed and where licenses should be added.
