IBM Systems Management solutions for Power Servers

IBM Systems Director Enterprise Edition

IBM Systems Director Enterprise Edition includes all of the capabilities of the Standard Edition and adds tools for more comprehensive availability and performance management, and more options for rapidly deploying and maintaining virtual server environments. With the Enterprise Edition clients have the flexibility to deploy workloads in logical partitions (LPARs) and workload partitions (WPARs) as well deployment into a pool of virtual AIX®, IBM i, and Linux system resources across multiple physical servers (called “system pools”) which can be managed with the simplicity of managing a single system. Troubleshooting is enhanced by including application status, identification of changes in the environment, and predictive analysis of capacity. A built-in data warehouse and reporting enable clients to analyze both real-time status and historical trends together.

Benefits

  • Improve application and system reliability with automated availability management of workloads in system pools
  • Improve the productivity of IT “Subject Matter Experts” by providing more comprehensive information for troubleshooting, capacity planning, and reducing the time spent generating reports
  • Increase system utilization by pooling resources across multiple servers and sharing those resources across multiple workloads
  • Increase resilience for planned and unplanned downtime which helps improve customer satisfaction for users of business applications
  • Defer hardware purchases as a result of higher system resource utilization and better capacity information

Features:

The Systems Director Enterprise Edition provides:

  • All features of the Systems Director Express and Standard Editions
  • Creation/removal of system pools and resource management in AIX and Linux system pools as if they were a single system
  • Addition/removal of physical servers within system pools
  • Visualization of the relationships of LPARs to servers to applications
  • Proactive real-time and predictive monitoring of the virtualized environment
  • Predictive performance management and capacity estimation
