Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 is a software framework for Microsoft Windows operating systems. and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform. The Microsoft .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that supports building and running the next generation of applications and XML Web services. The Microsoft .NET Framework  includes a large library, that supports several programming languages which allows language interoperability.  Availability and performance of Microsoft .NET Framework in the IT environment is critical for providing effective business service.

With a unique ability to track the configuration parameters and detect changes and differences, no matter how minute, for Microsoft .NET Framework, Evolven Comparison allows IT professionals to:

Reduce production outage risk: Increase stability of releases and detect unauthorized changes to prevent outages and high impact incidents

Minimize system downtime: Quickly pinpoint to an incident's root-cause and cut time to repair

Enhance security & compliance: Leverage granular visibility and audit-trail to meet demanding security and compliance requirements

The configuration parameters of Microsoft .NET Framework are critical for providing effective business service. Accurately managing the configuration of Microsoft .NET Framework is not an easy task considering its complexity and the numerous configuration parameters involved. Microsoft .NET Framework includes thousands of different configuration parameters in which the mis-configuration or disregard of a single configuration setting can cause an incident with major impact on the entire IT environment and business service.

Evolven Comparison discovers granular configuration information for Microsoft .NET Framework. Evolven Comparison's unique Comparison Engine™ includes a set of technologies that deliver clear, definitive configuration information related to the Framework, highlighting the critical root cause and its impact, allowing IT professionals to focus on what matters most.

Today’s modern business systems include interdependent layers of applications and infrastructure, and focusing on only one configuration or a small set leaves room for error, and ignores critical context and interdependencies. The Evolven Granular Configuration Automation solution, Evolven Comparison, focuses on the entire environment in order to ensure a stable business service that meets agreed to service levels.

Evolven Comparison analyzes and classifies configuration changes and differences, by their impact, for Microsoft .NET Framework. Then Evolven Comparison prioritizes and highlights the changes and differences discovered in Microsoft .NET Framework based on criticality, visually presenting the comparison results for fast and easy analysis. Insignificant changes and differences are ignored. Evolven Comparison even makes effective comparisons for Microsoft .NET Framework Configurations of inherently different environments (e.g. test vs. production).
