This following sections list the products in the suite and the use cases that apply to them.

BMC Atrium Core

The BMC Atrium Core solution works with other BMC Atrium solutions to facilitate the alignment of your IT organization with business priorities. BMC Atrium Core provides tight integration across management tools used in your IT environment, saving your IT organization time and money. BMC Atrium Core includes the following component products:

  • BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (BMC Atrium CMDB), which stores information about the configuration items (CIs) in your IT environment and the relationships between them
  • BMC Atrium Integrator, which transfers data between an external datastore and BMC Atrium CMDB

The use cases associated with this product are:

BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping

The BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping (BMC Atrium Discovery) product automates the process of populating the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (BMC Atrium CMDB) by exploring IT systems to identify hardware and software, and then creating configuration items (CIs) and relationships from the discovered data. An enabler of ITIL Configuration Management, BMC Atrium Discovery communicates with host systems and obtains information from them. Discovery is driven by the Reasoning Engine, which infers detailed information about hosts and programs and populates the datastore. This information is then populated to BMC Atrium CMDB. With BMC Atrium Discovery, the Configuration Manager is able to:

  • Dramatically decrease BMC Atrium CMDB population times, which accelerates the implementation of Business Service Management (BSM) and the applications that perform ITIL Service Operations processes.
  • Increase data accuracy by automatically and continuously updating configuration data in BMC Atrium CMDB.
  • Identify the IT components that compose enterprise applications and business services.
