IBM® Tivoli® Provisioning Manager 7.2, built on a Service Oriented Architecture, enhances features for optimizing and managing virtualization in the data center. Including capabilities such as image library and image mobility, IT can fully leverage their investment in virtualization technology.

Whether virtual or physical, data center resources need to be managed efficiently throughout their lifecycle in support of IT service delivery. Tivoli Provisioning Manager helps organizations with provisioning, configuration and maintenance of physical servers and virtual servers, operating systems, middleware, applications, storage and network devices. With this release of the Tivoli Provisioning Manager, users can also benefit from significant ease of use enhancements, scalability improvements, new compliance reporting, and streamlined use case scenarios that provide more out of the box value. Key functional areas of enhancement include:

These capabilities allow companies to manage the complete lifecycle of virtual and physical datacenter resources from initial provisioning to patching and configuration maintenance to resource repurposing or end of life. Through the automation of tasks, IT administrators can manage more resources with fewer people, allowing key skilled people to focus on activities that grow the business rather than serve to maintain it.

Companies can leverage these tools and automation capabilities against their existing infrastructure. Pre-built automation packages provide control and configuration of major vendors' products, while customized workflows can implement your company's best practices and procedures. Additional automation workflows can be obtained from the IBM Tivoli Open Process Automation Library (OPAL), an on-line repository where customers, business partners and ISVs publish and share best practices for automation.

This product supports IBM's solutions for successful IT Lifecycle Management a core component of IBM's solution for Accelerating Deployment.
