Additional server/storage required: The storage requirements for the reports produced by the BindView systems are nominal, say Petruzzi, ranging from a few kilobytes to just under a megabyte. Since the BindView tools need to query each machine in Constellation Energy's IT environment, reports are scheduled to run during nonpeak hours to avoid taking away computing cycles from other business processes.

Favorite functionality: The ability to take a "snapshot" of Constellation Energy's IT environment from a manager's desktop, says Petruzzi.

Functionality desired: The ability to monitor multiple IT-related regulations from a single viewpoint in order to avoid duplicating work. Symantec is adding that feature to the BindView Policy & Compliance Management software in the first quarter.
