“Before deploying Aperture VISTA, we were using spreadsheets and data tables to record trends and enable predictive reporting. This was inaccurate, time consuming and prone to error. By using Aperture VISTA we are able to centralize information in a single data base which enables us to maintain accurate and reliable configuration information while enabling the better utilization of operational staff by freeing up valuable time."

“When BlueCross BlueShield of Florida (BCBSF), which provides insurance services for nearly 9 million people, decided to build a new data center in 2005, the company also felt it was time to get a comprehensive look at its asset inventory. There were definitely undocumented assets. When you have seven or eight teams managing the hardware, each using a different process, there was really no way to get a systemwide understanding of what we had in our various data centers. "

“Before Aperture, we inherited sites where cable management and cooling disciplines were not so effective. With Aperture, we can print a drawing and check the rack against it. These vulnerability checks record issues that we need to rectify. We've been able to significantly reduce the number of vulnerabilities, thanks to Aperture. "
