Business Challenge
End-user productivity losses and business outages can be the direct result of failed OS deployments or updates. At the same time, the provisioning and ongoing management of servers and end-user computers is often a laborious and highly time-consuming task prone to errors and inconsistencies. Tools and best practices designed to solve these problems are an IT necessity. To maximize their effectiveness, however, they must be designed to provide a more holistic approach to managing these processes.
Business Need
- Improve security and reduce support costs by enforcing corporate standard build policies
- Deploy consistent, updated, and tested OS images from a single maintained repository
- Respond to differing organizational needs by easily tailoring builds and application profiles
- Get up and running quickly by leveraging existing images and build scripts
Our Solution
BMC OS Manager automates the best practice steps of migrating and updating operating systems, including migration planning, approval, implementation, ongoing deployment status checks, and continued life cycle maintenance with verification. Using predefined, Web-based migration reports included with BMC OS Manager, you can quickly plan a migration by automatically collecting the necessary hardware and software information to determine which machines are “migration-ready.” Then, you can remotely deploy a migration agent and initiate the migration process without ever having to touch a machine.
Key Features & Benefits
- Enables you to produce standards-compliant machines in an efficient, accurate, and automated manner
- Allows you to create tailored builds for different departmental needs and store and maintain them in the Definitive Software Library
- Embraces a wide variety of imaging formats, as well as build script methods, to help you get up and running quickly with minimal re-work
- Enables you to reduce the number of images you must manage through “adaptive” application packaging and policy-based management
- Integrates with the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to enable you to create software entitlement policies
