Cutting costs is a major theme in the data center
community and IBM is on top of it. By creating a new software for
managing virtualized servers and also introducing its Power Systems
product their clients can receive cost reduction opportunities through
virtualization and energy efficient microprocessors.
The new systems software --IBM Systems Director VMControl-- gives
clients a tool to manage heterogeneous virtual servers. It allows
users to discover, display, monitor and locate virtual resources;
create and manage virtual servers; and deploy and manage workloads
with a common interface across IBM System z ((R)) mainframes, System
x ((R)) x86-based servers, BladeCenter((R)), and Power Systems AIX((R)),
Linux((R)) and i platforms.
Management of virtualized servers is a key priority for businesses
and can help make them more efficient, orchestrated, and effective.
The new IBM software provides lifecycle management of virtual servers,
with its ability to create, modify and delete virtualized resources,
as well as move them to other locations.
VMControl is part of the IBM Systems Director family of software
for the management of IBM servers, storage and networking, and provides
automatic discovery, as well as monitoring and updates for physical
and virtual resources. Systems Director can help businesses maintain
the performance and availability of their servers and simplify operations
in a dynamic infrastructure.
