IBM on demand orchestration and provisioning technology can help you continually evaluate real-time IT resource status, anticipate trends and dynamically deploy or repurpose IT resources based on your business priorities. The results are powerful.
In today's dynamic and fluctuating marketplace, new on demand technologies are required. Ever expanding, distributed islands of processing power need to be tapped to improve resiliency and responsiveness to a demand curve that can spike with only so much warning as an unexpected news release. In today's economic times, you can not afford to maintain server capacity for just-in-case situations. IBM Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator helps you deal with these challenges.
It helps you reduce your costs and improve server utilization. It helps boost server-to-administrator ratios by automating the steps to provision, configure and deploy a solution into production. This automated process supports servers, operating systems, middleware, applications and network devices acting as firewalls, routers, switches and load balancers. By utilizing existing hardware, software and network devices without rewiring, you can minimize implementation times and achieve a faster return on investment.
These under-utilized assets can be put to work to help improve service levels with dynamic, on demand provisioning. Service levels can be constantly monitored, resource requirements anticipated for peak workloads and then automatically deployed.
IBM Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator provides a powerful system that:
Protects your existing investments, lowers implementation costs and creates a fast return on investment by utilizing existing hardware, software and network devices without rewiring or changing the network architecture
Helps reduce costs, improve server utilization, and boost server-to-administrator ratios by automating all the steps necessary to provision, configure and deploy a complete solution into productive use, increasing IT resource utilization tied directly to business results. Orchestration allows companies to manipulate their IT environment in real time — according to defined business policies — to achieve desired business goals. Orchestration does this by sensing an increase in the demand for resources and automatically taking action to re-allocate resources accordingly, and by provisioning resources throughout the entire system
Helps reduce security exposures by tracking and applying security patches to distributed network servers
Delivers a comprehensive business policy-based solution to automate provisioning, configuration and deployment processes so you can use IT resources more efficiently
Anticipates, plans and dynamically provides server capacity to meet peak business demands on demand, or in the case of system failures or outages
