London, UK, 21 November, 2024 - Cutover, a leader in collaborative automated runbooks for complex IT operations, today announced the preview launch of Cutover Application Metastore. During a large-scale IT disaster recovery event or cloud migration, creating runbooks with up-to-date application data from multiple sources is complex and cumbersome.
Enterprises need instant access to accurate application design and run time data, including configuration management database (CMDB) data, to create accurate cloud migration or IT disaster recovery plans. This design time data includes application name, location (region, etc.), service owners, recovery time objective (RTO) and more. Run time data, which includes the current amount of nodes in a cluster and storage space utilized, is held in run time tools such as application performance monitoring (APM) tools and requires a lot of effort to get into an executable runbook format - straining resources, time and money.
The Cutover Application Metastore helps enterprises accelerate and improve the creation and maintenance of accurate runbooks for IT operations processes. Auto-generate application-specific runbooks from templates, at scale, in seconds - reducing manual efforts by up to 90%. With Metastore, Cutover runbooks are dynamically generated and those executable runbook tasks, plus integration scripts, are populated at the point of generation with the design time and run time application-specific data removing time-consuming manual efforts. Enterprises can reduce IT event preparation time by 75% and reduce IT operations event costs by 50%.
“Enterprise-grade recovery or migration plans require an enormous amount of application data,” states Marcus Wildsmith, CPO of Cutover. He continues, “Cutover Application Metastore provides a streamlined way to aggregate and access application metadata, and then auto-generates hundreds or thousands of tailored runbooks, in seconds. We’re thrilled to see this product come to life and bring value to our customers so quickly.”
