Byusing industry standards, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating systemsand virtualization technologies in IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms.Through a single user interface, IBM Systems Director provides consistent views forviewing managed systems, determining how these systems relate to one another,and identifying their statuses, helping to correlate technical resources with businessneeds. A set of common tasks that are included with IBM Systems Director providesmany of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which meansinstant out-of-the-box business value. These common tasks include discovery,inventory, configuration, system health, monitoring, updates, event notification, andautomation for managed systems.10 IBM System x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 Types 7145 and 7146: Installation and User’s Guide
