Manage Your Virtualized IT Infrastructure With IBM Tivoli Service Management Solutions

Overview As services become a key element for competitive differentiation, organizations are seeking ways to deliver new and enhanced business services in less time. Doing so requires great agility, effective cost containment and highly efficient operations. Many organizations are achieving these requirements by leveraging virtualization. With benefits ranging from improved physical resource utilization to reduced hardware, power and cooling expenses, virtualization offers a compelling return on business investments. At the same time, however, management of the underlying IT infrastructure can become more complex in the process. As more and more physical servers and storage resources are virtualized and consolidated, it can be difficult to discover and inventory the assets in the virtual environment.
