IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the
way you manage physical and virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment. By
using industry standards, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating systems
and virtualization technologies in IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms.
Through a single user interface, IBM Systems Director provides consistent views for
viewing managed systems, determining how these systems relate to one another,
and identifying their statuses, helping to correlate technical resources with business
needs. A set of common tasks that are included with IBM Systems Director provides
many of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which means
instant out-of-the-box business value. These common tasks include discovery,
inventory, configuration, system health, monitoring, updates, event notification, and
automation for managed systems.
The IBM Systems Director Web and command-line interfaces provide a consistent
interface that is focused on driving these common tasks and capabilities:
v
Discovering, navigating, and visualizing systems on the network with the detailed
inventory and relationships to the other network resources
v
Notifying users of problems that occur on systems and the ability to isolate the
sources of the problems
v
Notifying users when systems need updates and distributing and installing
updates on a schedule
v
Analyzing real-time data for systems and setting critical thresholds that notify the
administrator of emerging problems
