Cisco has partnered with BMC Software to create a single platform to provision, configure, and manage the Cisco Unified Computing System. This integrated approach to management drives down operational and organizational costs by reducing complexity, increasing staff efficiency, and simplifying rapid and frequent changes. Cisco and BMC are the first companies to solve the practical challenges of operating such a complex and dynamic virtualized infrastructure.
Tight integration of Cisco UCS Manager software with BMC BladeLogic, utilizing Cisco's XML API, fully automates provisioning and configuration of mission-critical business services, supporting applications, and the underlying virtual and physical resources. Working from a single console, IT organizations can use these capabilities to:
Standardize and automate system administration
Reduce the risks associated with changes to the IT infrastructure
Reconfigure their environments much more rapidly than previously possible
Additionally, the integration between BMC BladeLogic and Cisco UCS Manager allows information feeds to BMC Atrium CMDB and the rest of BMC's Business Service Management platform. BMC Atrium CMDB gives real-time insight to the business impact of the Cisco Unified Computing System while BMC's Business Service Management portfolio offers performance management, service management, and IT process automation of the Cisco Unified Computing System. All of these capabilities coexist with already installed management solutions.
Cisco UCS Manager and BMC BladeLogic are offered with every Cisco Unified Computing System. The integrated solution is supported by Cisco and BMC integrated technical support, professional services, technology development, and joint sales engagement.
BMC Software is the recognized leader in Business Service Management, a comprehensive approach and unified platform that helps IT organizations cut cost, reduce risk and drive business profit.
