Why Orca?

We help you pinpoint change you never knew you had

Covering every configuration setting in your entire application stack, from OS to style sheet, is a daunting task. That’s why nobody else does it. The industry is flooded with tools that let you define the things you know you need to manage, but none that help you with the things you don’t.

Automation tools and all of your internally developed scripts are focused on a specific set of variables and don’t see beyond them, leaving a myriad of configuration settings that could directly, or even indirectly, impact the viability of your applications. Full visibility into an unpredictable depth of options is the key to avoiding unexpected outages and long hours spent trying to figure out why things went wrong.

Get coverage in all directions

Orca provides the visibility you need for all of the elements of your application, across all of the environments it moves through. No matter how involved, Orca provides full depth discovery of your configurations including XML files, middleware servers, filesystems, database schemas, OS configs, and more. We’ll even let you plug in and leverage your existing scripts no matter what language they’re written in.

Orca keeps track of your full configuration picture over time and between environments. Quickly and easily see the change history for a single application or component, or compare two different environments to see if they really are identical. Drop in compliance rules, specify comparison baselines, and let Orca keep track of things and alert you when something takes a wrong turn.
