We are proud to invite you to a demonstration of new features that are of close to GA-quality and are planned to be included in the next releases of IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Use Analysis (SUA) and IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT). The features will soon be available in our Beta Program.
By attending the demonstration session, you will obtain the latest information about the new features. You will also get the opportunity to solicit your feedback and thus influence the ongoing development of these products.
TIME:
Thursday, 14 May, 11 AM EDT.
Write to talk2sam@us.ibm.com for access details.
AGENDA
INTRODUCTION: Summary of ILMT/SUA application updates to date
Duration: 10 minutes
PART 1: PVU counting on KVM and on public clouds [Live demo]
Part 1a. Introduction to IBM PVU counting on public clouds
Part 1b. Demonstration of counting PVU consumption on a public cloud (Azure) with declarative definition for group of endpoints.
Part 1c. Demonstration of a setup to collect subcapacity data from SUSE/Debian/RedHat on KVM
This part is intended for customers who have or are planning to have hybrid environments with a part of their software installed on physical machines or KVM-based virtualization, and another part installed on public clouds like SoftLayer or Amazon.
It is also interesting for customers who need to collect PVU license information on IBM software that is installed on KVM-hosted operating systems like SUSE or RedHat.
Duration: 30 minutes
PART 2: Coexistence of SUA 9 and ILMT 9 [Live demo]
This part is intended for customers who perceive the value of IBM license management provided by ILMT and want to extend the scope of software inventory and include non-IBM software installed on their workstations.
It is also interesting for customers who use SUA to monitor software on their workstations and would like to benefit from IBM subcapacity licensing on servers; however they do not want to extend the coverage of their server environment with chargeable IEM-SUA agents. They prefer to use free-of-charge ILMT agents reporting to ILMT server without the need to install a new IEM server. Such customers would like to use the ILMT server for monitoring PVU licensing and SUA server for discovering non-IBM software on workstations with both products receiving data from a common IEM server.
Duration: 30 minutes
