BMC Software has announced the certification of its CONTROL-M SMART plug-in for HP OpenView through the Hewlett-Packard Premier Partner program.
The plug-in allows BMC`s CONTROL-M production control and job scheduling solution to support HP`s portfolio of software solutions for network, server, application, and IT service management. It also integrates CONTROL-M and the managed systems within the enterprise with the HP OpenView environment, adhering to HP`s technical standards.
"The CONTROL-M SMART Plug-in, combined with HP OpenView`s service management solution helps businesses be more effective, helps IT departments operate as highly-valued strategic assets, and ultimately reduces the cost of IT ownership," says Allen Lewis, MD of Software Futures` systems management division, local BMC distributor.
CONTROL-M manages and automates the setup, scheduling and execution of business applications and legacy systems across multiple platforms. The plug-in ensures tight integration between CONTROL-M, HP OpenView, and the enterprise production environment, allowing data centre operations to analyse events and problems in a consistent, timely, and efficient manner.
Additionally, the CONTROL-M Knowledge Module for BMC`s PATROL product range brings CONTROL-M`s management-by-exception capabilities and alerting mechanisms into the PATROL Console. CONTROL-M communicates with the PATROL and HP OpenView environments, via PATROL Knowledge Modules or SMART plug-ins, allowing administrators to receive information on both the application events detected by PATROL and on network, server, and application events from OpenView. Using CONTROL-M and BMC`s Enterprise Controlstation console, operations personnel can obtain a consolidated enterprise view of all components, eliminating multiple interfaces for administration and management of the entire production workload.
CONTROL-M and the Enterprise Controlstation are part of BMC`s Enterprise Production Management solution, one of three systems management disciplines that make-up the company`s enterprise solutions for IT Process Automation.
The company`s Enterprise Production Management, Enterprise Output Management and Enterprise Security Management disciplines form an integrated solution based on an underlying architecture that allows the products to work together with business applications to achieve high levels of scalability and interoperability across the enterprise.
