IBM’s License Metric Tool and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Ensure 100% compliance for your IBM software With IBM’s License Metric Tool and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform from Elyzium
The benefits of IBM software are well known, but it can be expensive and difficult to track and maintain. IBM’s Licence Metric Tool (ILMT) helps organizations manage their IBM software licensing requirements and must be installed, configured, and maintained to achieve compliance with their IBM Passport Advantage license agreement.
If ILMT is configured incorrectly, in an audit situation, customers may face a hefty fine or unplanned software purchase. Plus, any under-licensed software will be charged at the substantially higher price of a physical server license rather than a virtual one.
Elyzium helps customers determine exactly where IBM software is installed to ensure compliance and avoid large and unexpected costs in an audit situation, through concurrent use of IBM’s License Metric Tool and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
- Smooth deployment, integrated with existing systems and workflows
After a single installation of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, IBM software users can easily check where IBM software is installed across the entire IT infrastructure. Any IBM software found running on a virtual server without a corresponding ILMT agent can be triaged with administrators informed accordingly. Automated remedial action is then undertaken by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform; either the ILMT agent is installed, or the IBM software is removed from the affected virtual server, returning you to a state of compliance with your IBM software entitlements.
- A solution that meets your specific needs and goals
With Elyzium, businesses can manage their IBM software assets more effectively, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with licensing agreements. The solution is tailored to your business requirements and support is available at every stage, from assessment and planning, through to deployment, configuration, training and support.
