All the companies/projects you mention are ‘on-premises’ software. The ComodIT innovation is to integrate all these features into a platform available as a service. You can get started in minutes, without any software to install and configure. An ideal solution for SMEs wiling a simple, integrated and comprehensive IT Automation solution.

There is already an abundant number of these type tools from high end commercial tools like Opsware and Blade Logic to OSS technology like Puppet and Opscode Chef not to mention that this level of automation is coming in CloudFrameworks like OpenStack and Eucalyptus.

A recent startup in the US called CloudBolt takes an approach that leverages all these existing and already installed automation tools to deliver the same desired ‘Unified Approach to IT” across Private and Public Clouds without abandoning all the IP organizations have already invested in and avoiding be ‘locked-in’ to another proprietary config tool.
