IBM Systems Magazine, Mainframe digital edition - September/October 2009 - (Page 41) prov ide the basic under pinnings of a Dynamic Infrastructure, it must be accompanied by a self-service portal that enables users to request IT services on demand and have the request fulfilled in minutes/hours versus days/weeks/months (see Figure 3, page 40). In this model, services are initially defined/created and stored in a service catalog. Requesters can then browse the catalog to find and select the desired service. After submitting the request, it gets routed for approval and then the underlying infrastructure fulfills the request. The software needed as part of the overall service is typically deployed in one of two ways: image copy (the fastest) or via automated install using scripts. When the service is no longer needed, the affected resources can be claimed by other subsequent requests. For this to work seamlessly and transparently, automatedmanagement software that undergirds each step in the process is required. I BM r e ce nt ly i nt r oduced Tivol i* Service Automation Manager (TSAM) to manage this cloud-services lifecycle and deliver request-driven provisioning for a private cloud environment. It leverages TSRM to provide a self-service UI for users to search against the catalog and select the desired service. It also utilizes Tivoli Provisioning Manager to provision hardware and software resources according to best practices to satisfy the service request. personnel to respond more quickly to business needs. It also allows them to do so at lower cost than other alternatives (including public clouds) and avoid the t h reat of d isi nter med iat ion. W h i le multiple target platforms are available from which to deliver this private cloud env i ron ment , c u stomer s who have already made investments in I BM’s System z platform will fi nd it to be an attractive and cost-effective option.
