Unify Infrastructure ManagementUnified Infrastructure Manager (UIM): Vblock element management
Unify compute, network, & storage for Vblocks
– Single point of management for Vblocks– Manages multiple Vblocks across compute,
network, & storage resources (storage Q2)
Simplify configuration management– Provisioning, configuration, & compliance
management– Configures and provisions network access,
storage connectivity and compute blade profile
• Enable infrastructure-as-a-service– Multi-tenancy– Self-service, orchestration– Policy-based compliance & configuration– Practical automation
Centralize Vblock element management– Eliminate need for multiple consoles, multiple
element managers
Maximize Vblock automation with Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM)
