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.The IBM Systems Director Web and command-line interfaces provide a consistentinterface that is focused on driving these common tasks and capabilities:v Discovering, navigating, and visualizing systems on the network with the detailedinventory and relationships to the other network resources12 System x3650 M3 Types 4255, 7945, and 7949: Installation and User’s Guide
