Moonlight is a server configuration management solution that allows you to deploy, manage, monitor, troubleshoot, and repair software on distributed systems from a centralized location. It allows you to quickly and consistently distribute software changes to multiple servers at once, monitor configuration changes, troubleshoot configuration inconsistencies, and remediate your deployed software applications.
Analyze and Solve Problems Faster. On average, IT departments spend approximately 40 man hours per week troubleshooting configuration problems. With Moonlight, a configuration problem or security breach can be detected and isolated in minutes, not hours. Mission-critical servers or software applications can be repaired quickly and consistently. Also, by understanding the problem and its cause, you can take measures to ensure that the problem does not happen again.
Automate Manual Processes and Reduce Errors. On average, enterprise applications change roughly three times per month, making automated processes a necessity. Manual processes are inherently error prone. Small changes and dependencies can easily be overlooked. Moonlight allows you to define processes that meet the needs of your release cycle, and automate these processes without custom scripting. Use Moonlight to determine the changes between releases, configure and test new configurations, and consistently deploy production quality software.
Lower Costs and Save Time. Moonlight automates and streamlines the most tedious and time-consuming tasks of server configuration management. It dramatically reduces the amount of repetitive manual activities, increasing the productivity of your system management staff. Moonlight saves time in debugging and maintenance by reducing the need for custom scripts, which are typically inflexible and unreliable. Moonlight's infrastructure and automation decrease the time and cost of troubleshooting and remediation, and provide a guarantee that your fixes have been applied. Moonlight makes best practices (server consolidation, continuous auditing, and disaster recovery sites) economical and simple to enforce.
Intrusion Detection and Notification. Use Moonlight to run frequent audits on your deployed software applications, and to alert you when compromises are detected. Moonlight provides detailed reports on each operation, allowing you to quickly identify the source of the security breach. Audits detect content changes down to the byte level, as well as changes made to file and directory attributes and permissions. Any file that is compromised can then be repaired.
Analysis and Troubleshooting. Moonlight allows you to proactively detect and troubleshoot configuration problems. Moon Portal, the Web-based interface to Moonlight, provides detailed reports and status information. You can quickly drill down to the root cause of the problem, and see exactly which files are causing problems and why. For more detailed drill-down, Moonlight provides a full command-line interface for scripting and shell-level filtering.
One-click Remediation. When something goes wrong with a mission-critical server or software application, you need to fix it as quickly as possible. Moonlight not only alerts you when a problem occurs, but allows you to fix it immediately. Moonlight's remediation system can fix hundreds of servers simultaneously, allowing rapid "tightening down" of security issues. Use Moonlight to instantly repair or replace corrupted files, reducing downtime of your most critical applications.
Flexible, Rule-based Software Distribution. Moonlight's rule-based technology provides granular control over your distributed software applications, allowing you to define distribution and deployment processes that meet your exact requirements.
Moonlight's unique and flexible templating capability allows you to customize a software distribution on a per-server basis. Moonlight templates are used to dynamically generate per-server files at deployment time. Moonlight also allows you to automatically run appropriate administrative commands on each managed server.
Disaster Recovery. Use Moonlight to store known working copies of your software applications. If something goes wrong, you can quickly restore the software application to your backup servers. Moonlight's rule-based models and templates allow you to plan a disaster recovery server deployment to accommodate hardware, network, and other differences.
Centralized Configuration Management. Moonlight serves as the central repository for all software applications deployed in your organization. Master copies of your executables and the deployment models are stored in Moonlight. If an application requires an update or a configuration change, you can simply update the model in Moonlight, and then deploy those changes to multiple machines at once.
