Key Points:
- Extend BMC data center management to storage by providing global visibility of heterogeneous, multiprotocol storage environments
- Manage storage as a true end-to-end IT service by integrating storage services into the BMC CMDB and the entire IT service delivery chain
- Create BMC service impact models that include storage for improved IT service management based on business impact
Enhance service impact models with storage domain data to provide a more complete view and analysis of business service impacts and dependencies.
Storage network infrastructure is a critical application delivery component because of the impact it has on application availability and performance. On average storage infrastructure makes up 35% of data center budgets.
By including storage domain data in the CMDB, service impact models can include storage to provide a more complete view and analysis of business service impacts and dependencies.
The integration of SANscreen® data with BMC’s CMDB will enable IT to realize cost savings by including visibility into storage infrastructure and services. With any degradation in service levels, the visibility of all components within the CMDB that make up a service facilitates rapid identification of root cause and resolution. This means quicker response to events in the infrastructure and translates into cost savings and improved service availability and reliability.
