COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 10 -- Configuresoft, a leading enterprise server configuration management company, has announced the release of ECM v5.1, a major expansion of its award-winning configuration management solution designed to help organizations achieve and maintain a cost effective, secure and compliant posture across heterogeneous platforms in the enterprise.

ECM 5.1 provides unified, cross-platform patch assessment and remediation, extends compliance and change management into mission critical Oracle databases, and seamlessly integrates configuration management inside VMware's VirtualCenter.

"Accurate configuration information is the foundation of every decision in IT, whether manual or automatic," according to the June 2008 Forrester Research report, "A Federated CMDB Remains Distant, But Start Now."
