IBM Introduces Software for Automating Complex IT Processes
May 25, 2006:IBM has announced new software and services that will automate IT processes across a multi-platform environment, such as managing storage devices, addressing IT failures and deploying new software releases and patches.
This software promises to help customers fight rising IT costs and manage constant change brought on by security threats and the demand to stay competitive in the marketplace.
The new products, the IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database and three types of IBM Tivoli Process Manager Software claim to automate challenging processes associated with managing a complex IT environment.
Al Zollar, general manager, IBM Tivoli software says, “This new software, built on open standards, allows customers to improve efficiency and cut the cost of managing technology.” According to the company, with this software, customers no longer have to manually design and individually integrate processes such as rolling out a new application across software, hardware, storage and network environments that span separate departments within an enterprise. Instead, the customers can reportedly design IT processes once and automate their integration across all areas of operation, saving time and money.
Getting ready for a June 2006 release are products like IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database, IBM Tivoli Availability Process Manager, IBM Tivoli Release Process Manager and IBM Tivoli Release Process Manager. A Process Manager for capacity management will follow in the second half of 2006. The ensuing Process Managers are touted to address areas such as security, compliance and IT financial assessment.
