CIQ Unveils Ledger Pro for Improved Infrastructure Oversight

September 13, 2024

RENO, Nev., Sept. 13, 2024 — CIQ has announced the launch of Ledger Pro, a comprehensive solution designed to enhance IT system automation by providing deep insights, compliance tracking, and detailed reporting. Aimed at helping businesses optimize their infrastructure management, Ledger Pro offers a streamlined platform to monitor changes, address security vulnerabilities, and automate responses across diverse IT environments.

“Ledger Pro fills a significant feature gap in the Ansible and AWX ecosystem, giving you insights and reporting you just don’t get otherwise,” said Justin Burdine, director of solution engineering. “Ledger Pro gives a much deeper level of visibility into your infrastructure and automation, and works as a standalone or with whatever underlying automation wiring you’re already using. With Ledger Pro, you have the insight you need to take action when you need to, deliver compliance reports with ease, and save your team time and money.”

The Growing Complexity of IT Environments Undermines Best Practices of Visibility. Modern IT infrastructures are increasingly complex and dynamic, making it difficult to:

  • Keep track of all system components and configurations across diverse environments.
  • Identify who made what changes and when, to hasten issue resolution.
  • Stay compliant with industry standards and promptly address security vulnerabilities.
  • Make informed decisions about resource allocation.

Ledger Pro addresses these challenges by providing IT teams with actionable insights and detailed reports to help them keep their infrastructure secure, compliant and fully optimized.

Ledger Pro enables users to see what is happening in any environment, quickly take action, then automate the ongoing solution. Whether integrated with Ascender, Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) or Ansible AWX, Ledger Pro delivers these capabilities in one platform:

  • Gain Deep Insights: Collect and analyze detailed system data to understand the current state and performance of your infrastructure.
  • Detailed AutomationTracking: Accelerate problem resolution by pinpointing when and where changes occurred within your infrastructure automation using Ledger Pro’s granular change logging. Ledger Pro’s RESTful API enables seamless integration with other tools, streamlining your troubleshooting workflows.
  • React To Changes: Send alerts or trigger automated events when critical events are detected.
  • Ensure Compliance and Security: Automatically detect and highlight deviations from system baselines to identify anomalies before they escalate. Manage security updates seamlessly in conjunction with Ascender. Quickly identify and address security threats by integrating errata and CVE information directly into your system monitoring workflows.
  • Optimize Decision-Making: Leverage custom reports and analytics to inform strategic planning and operational improvements.
