Helix Updates
BMC has just announced new operations management features and capabilities for their Helix solution for increased decision-making accuracy and accelerated mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) with early detection, intelligence, and optimization of resources. Updates include:
Increase visibility, management, and decision-making accuracy to achieve service delivery excellence. This allows customers to gain visibility into hardware, software, and service dependencies across multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments, including the ability to securely and efficiently identify Google Virtual Machines that do not have public IP addresses.
