Server Management teams need to:
Coordinate Server Builds (Incl. Bare metal up)
Deploy and manage both Physical and Virtual servers
Patch operating systems on application clusters (Client-Server Apps)
Patch Middleware Applications
Find an easier way to Automate routine system administrator tasks
They have Multiple Tools and Teams and skill sets to manage distributed and datacenter servers across
all platforms with no integration
Ongoing Budget reductions forcing IT Managers to improve efficiency!

IBM Endpoint Manager
Consolidate Tools / Teams through streamlined management of ALL servers
Single User Interface Endpoint Manager for Server Automation builds upon Endpoint Manager for Lifecycle Management- Single infrastructure through
which users can manage desktops, laptops and data center servers while lowering operational costs
Seamless physical and virtual server management greatly improves visibility and control of all endpoints.
How do I manage the lifecycle of EVERY Endpoint ?
Extend Lifecycle Management to data center servers

IBM Endpoint Manager
Reduce human errors, simplify application lifecycle management
Physical Server Build – Single Server- e.g. Install Mozilla Firefox 18.0 followed by an upgrade to 18.0.2; Deploy middleware and application stacks
Virtual Server Build – Provision a VM from ISO or Template and deploy software
Server Patch (Client-Server scenario) - Shut down client services, stop server, apply patch to server, restart server, start client services
Sequenced OS Patching – Across different environments (across systems that form a service, e.g. email)
Patch Rollout – Patch machines 1-10, then 11-50, then 51-1000 (patch Development, then patch Test, then patch Production Environment)
How do I lower costs for server builds and patching?
Task sequencing
Update 90,000 servers in days with 70% less infrastructure than currently using. Patch the OS of a client-server
system in 1 hour or build a 2 tier application in hours.
Take endpoint automation to the next level:

Current Customer Engagement - United Parcel Service (UPS)
“Server Automation is exactly what we need!”
• UPS has a Homegrown solution that they are finding difficult to maintain.
• They need to drive an ordered sequence of patching/updating a Client/Server application
across many endpoints in what they call a “Site”.
• Each site has 1 Database Server, 1 Application Server and roughly 100 client computers.
They need to perform these process several times each month with Endpoint Manager: • Upgrade the DB server • If successful, upgrade the Application server• If 1& 2 are successful upgrade the Client workstations • If any Failures occur, stop further updates
Other requirements: • Scheduling• Targeting by custom computer property• Download/pre-cache updates and save automation plans as templates for each “Site”
