The first visual IT Infrastructure, Business Process and Application dependency modeling tool for complete IT Blueprints.

March 21, 2009 - ORLANDO – Pathway Systems, the fastest growing provider of IT dependency modeling and simulation software, today announced the launch of Blueprints™ which allows disaster recovery and business continuity professionals to create and maintain an always up-to-date set of IT Infrastructure blueprints for their corporation or government agency.

The user-centric software provides individual users a unique view of the environment that captures the high-level configuration items and relationships most important to them, establishing views that align with each user’s distinct job function, such as application owners, server managers, virtualization specialists and network specialists. These views enable users to define and narrow their focus based on physical location, technology class or application. Users can define views as needed, and views can be shared between various individuals to form the basis for collaboration and communication during continuity planning or an actual event.

Blueprints™ also offers enhanced capabilities for visualizing virtual environments. Controlling and understanding virtual machine sprawl is an area that is particularly troublesome for continuity professionals.

Superior visualization capabilities will enable users to navigate the graphical views that Blueprints™ dynamically produces to represent relationships between configuration items by simply dragging their mouse.

“Pathway Systems' Blueprints will enable continuity managers to clearly see and interact with their IT Infrastructure and its inherent dependencies in a way never before possible at a price most can afford. Every IT shop, from a local government agency to the Global 2000 can benefit from this technology. No BC/DR plan is complete without an accurate set of blueprints to rebuild from,” said Tom Normand, CEO of Pathway Systems.
