ModelizeIT provides customers with understanding and advanced visualization of architecture of their business applications and application-level inter-dependencies. It uses application architecture-level algorithms to help to identify business applications, map out their architecture, plan their migrations and transformations. ModelizeIT Gatherer queries Idira via the Idira protocol to retrieve credentials based on Idira object names or server names or addresses. Idira supplies the credentials in response to ModelizeIT Gatherer queries and ModelizeIT Gatherer uses these credentials to collect the information from client machines.
