5. IBM Systems and Technology Group Director Strategy 2005 | IBM Confidential © 2005 IBM Corporation 5 Objectives for IBM Director 5.10 Simplification to improve usability (Project Simplify) New Main Console Interface - move to familiar paradigm (Explorer, Web) Simpler Wizard interface for setting up monitors and notifications Reworked Online Documentation CI-162 Accessibility compliance Lighter Footprint (Deployment, support for Level 0, 1, 2 systems) Platform Management for eServer Cross series hardware management – Added management servers for AIX, power Linux and zSeries Linux. Added agent support for zSeries Linux. Support the industry standard SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) for discovering and managing storage devices and others like CIM, SNMP, SLP… Improved Hardware Alerting z/VM Center Management Extension to manage zSeries Linux virtual machines HMC Director Extension for pSeries and iSeries (target Q1/2006) Solutions Enablement for both internal and Independent Software Vendor (ISV)/ Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) Improved Performance and Usability for Director’s Command Line Tivoli Upward Integration: Seamless Integration of TEC/Director MS Operation Manager (MOM) Upward Integration Enable TEC event action in Director Management Server Express SDK and Formalized SDK

6. IBM Systems Group © 2005 IBM CorporationIBM Systems Group Field Skills & Educationpage 6 IBM Director 5.10 Highlights FeatureDescriptionBenefits Streamlined User InterfaceClean, customizable console. User decides which tasks and what information is displayed Easy to get started and improved productivity by accomplishing more in a shorter period of time Broader eServer Platform coverage New management servers for AIX, Linux on Power, and Linux on zSeries. New agents for Linux on zSeries Reduces number of platform specific management tools and reduces the skills required to manage your eServer environment Reduced Agent FootprintThree levels of agents including agent less or zero footprint (Level 0), core hardware services (Level 1), and full IBM Director Agent (Level 2). Ease of deployment and discovery saves time and resources. More customer choice regarding the level of hardware management desired. Software Health CheckRight click on update to perform software health check. IBM Director creates a dynamic group of systems requiring that update. Saves time trying to determine which systems are in need of an update. Helps keep systems running optimally with the latest system software. Software Developers Kit (SDK)Tools and documentation to facilitate developing and integrated extension to IBM Director. Facilitates the creation of an IBM Director ‘ecosystem’ of extensions to provide customers more choice and capability from a single, integrated IBM Director console.

7. IBM Systems Group © 2005 IBM CorporationIBM Systems Group Field Skills & Educationpage 7 IBM Director 5.10 Highlights FeatureDescriptionBenefits Event Action Plan WizardEasy to use, step-by-step guide to let IBM Director know what you want to monitor and what action you want to take in response to an alert. Reduces the time it takes to be productive and enables you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time. BladeCenter Chassis Configuration Manager Provides integration point for BladeCenter subsystem configurations allowing you to create and read configurations for chassis component devices and broadcast configurations to multiple chassis. Increased productivity and time savings by making it easier to configure BladeCenter chassis and subsystems. Virtual Server Deployment and Server Complex Creation and grouping of virtual servers under z/VM and deployment of Linux systems Fast, easy, and repeatable deployment of new virtual servers under z/VM. Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) integration No charge module that surfaces IBM Director hardware management information into Microsoft Operations Manager. Protects and augments investment in MOM deployment and training with complementary systems management information. Automated Inventory Change Control Monitors changes in inventory and can alert when there is a change. More accurate and timely asset management by providing notification of missing systems or components or systems that have been upgraded.
