Ecora Releases Free Configuration Documentation Software

Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) June 13, 2006 -- Ecora Software, the leader in software solutions supporting IT control, compliance, and security, announced the release of the industry's first free software to generate on-demand, detailed configuration reports for nearly every system and device found in an IT infrastructure.

Ecora Documentor is a Windows® application which installs on a Windows workstation and collects hundreds of thousands of configuration settings to generate comprehensive documentation reports. With a click of a button, users can document Microsoft Windows and Exchange servers, SQL Server databases, Active Directory, and workstations; HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, RedHat Linux, and Novell NetWare servers; Oracle databases, Citrix and IIS applications; Lotus Domino servers; and Cisco routers.

The free software eliminates the time-consuming and error prone manual process of data collection and ensures accurate, timely documentation of the IT infrastructure.

«In today's complex, compliance-driven IT environments, having current documentation of IT systems is a must have,» Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of Ecora, said. «Systems change constantly, and each change – whether planned or unplanned – can trigger downtime or a security breach. It is impossible for IT staff to manually keep track of system configurations with any degree of accuracy, yet up-to-date documentation is one of the most effective means of maintaining control of the IT infrastructure.»

Ecora Documentor provides consistent, standardized configuration documentation that aids in:

• IT Audits – Provide up-to-date, accurate documentation of the infrastructure in a format that is easy to understand.

• Security – Discover suspicious or sub-optimal configuration settings and close security holes.

• Disaster Recovery – Rapidly configure systems back to their pre-disaster state and minimize downtime.

• Troubleshooting – Maximize productivity and reduce time to resolution with access to current and historical configuration data.

• Consolidations & Migrations – Maintain a current snapshot of the IT infrastructure for quick assessments and server configuration comparisons.

Documentation is often generated in an hour or less and is available in html and Microsoft Word formats. To download this FREE software, or for more information, please visit www.ecora.com.
