IT Service Management Orchestration and Provisioning solutions help customers align business and IT priorities to help optimize resource utilization and reduce costs. These solutions enable customers to automate repetitive IT tasks and processes and deliver resources where needed, in real-time to address changing business demands and meet service level agreements.
Provisioning
Many companies want to streamline and automate their IT infrastructure management using on demand provisioning and configuration across complete application environments including servers, operating systems, middleware applications, storage and network devices.
IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager, through IT Service Management automation packages, consistently automates the manual provisioning and deployment process without error. It uses pre-built "industry best practice" automation packages to provide control and configuration, as well as allocation and reallocation of major vendors' products, while user customized workflows can implement your company's data enter "best practices" and procedures. IBM Tivoli Provisioning solutions reduce the need for just-in-case provisioning and help you automate on demand provisioning and configuration across complete application environments including servers, operating systems, middleware, applications, storage and network devices. The results are powerful: streamlined IT systems management, improved human and technology resource productivity, higher systems availability, and fewer unnecessary infrastructure purchases.
Working with the IBM Tivoli Orchestrator you can extend the provisioning functionality to automate and orchestrate your IT resources based on business priorities on demand.
Orchestration
IBM Tivoli Orchestration solutions can help you enhance utilization of existing resources, minimize implementation time and improve responsiveness to achieve a faster return on investment.
IBM Tivoli Orchestrator monitors the servers, middleware and applications under its control, senses degrading performance and determines actions to be taken. It can determine where (for which application) a resource is needed and instruct the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager to automatically deploy a server, install the necessary software, and configure the network. Utilizing its capacity management capabilities, IBM Tivoli Orchestrator can predict resource availability or need and begin the provisioning process, on demand, to help match IT resources with fluctuating workloads.
