RightScale announced integration between ServiceNow and the RightScale Cloud Portfolio Management platform. The new integration helps organizations quickly and easily extend the ServiceNow platform with best-of-breed cloud management functionality across major public cloud, private cloud, and virtualized environments. With the integration, users can launch, manage, monitor, govern, and track costs on all of their cloud applications and integrate into ServiceNow Service Catalog, CMDB, Workflow, Orchestration, and Incident Management.
A number of RightScale enterprise customers already combine RightScale with ServiceNow. The integration will make integrating RightScale and ServiceNow in the enterprise even easier.
The integration of ServiceNow and RightScale provides capabilities that are all recorded and accessible from a centralized configuration management database (CMDB). Benefits include:
