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 v Configuring settings of a single system and creating a configuration plan that can apply those setting to multiple systems 12 System x3650 M2 Type 7947: Installation and User's Guide
