BMC Distributed Infrastructure Performance and Availability Management Problem As your organization grows, so too does its dependence on the IT infrastructure. Today, performance and availability requirements for applications and data services are rising at a phenomenal rate, while the number and capacity of computing and storage resources in your infrastructure continue to grow. You have to manage an increasingly complex environment to higher levels of performance and availability. At the same time, you are expected to hold flat or even decrease your operations costs. Solution BMC Infrastructure Performance and Availability Management helps you meet the challenge. This advanced solution proactively monitors distributed infrastructure elements — both physical and virtual — to detect and automatically address problems before users are affected. The benefits are compelling, enabling you to: Minimize risk of virtualization by managing the virtualization technology itself to provide both a physical and logical perspective Lower operating expenses by reducing systems management activities and automating repetitive tasks, thereby enabling the management of more systems with fewer people Improve service quality through the proactive handling of problems that could jeopardize service levels and negatively affect end users Reduce downtime by accelerating problem identification and decreasing service restoration time Increase operational efficiency by automating handoffs between operational teams and disparate work groups, and by orchestrating the flow of critical information to resolve problems quickly BMC Infrastructure Performance and Availability Management extends Business Service Management (BSM) to your IT infrastructure. As a result, you gain a holistic, business-oriented approach to infrastructure management. Extensive functionality helps you absorb the growth in infrastructure complexity without increasing your management costs. At the same time, it enables you to maintain — and even improve — service levels. Key capabilities include early detection and problem prevention, extensive automation, service level management, and out-of-the-box integration across operations and service support.
