"As virtualization becomes ubiquitous, the management of the data center has become more complex," said Rich Lechner, vice president, IT Optimization at IBM. "Customers need a management platform that works across the data center and allows them to manage the physical and virtual resources to quickly and flexibly respond to business requirements. IBM sees management as the next era of virtualisation technology and we are delivering technology and tools to help customers simplify the tasks involved in managing their IT infrastructures."
The web based interface simplifies virtualisation management across multiple platforms, and the new version provides more detailed views of the resources on POWER systems, including discovery of VIOS virtualised resources.
A pair of new tools will accompany the release of Systems Director Virtualization Manager 1.2, which is scheduled for the third quarter.
IBM Systems Director Virtual Availability Management works with Xen-based virtualization on x86-based environments to create a high availability server farm.

IBM Systems Director Virtual Image Management uses a template-based approach to help manage and deploy systems. This new offering will allow customers to easily deploy new virtual servers based on virtual system templates and images. The templates can be used to create, customize and clone virtual images on all supported hypervisors and x86, AMD and POWER-based systems, company official said.
