A Route to Value for Business Service Management
What is Driving Change? Operational Efficiency “ 70% of IT budgets are spent on maintenance and operations, only 30% on value-add activities” * › Resource Constraints › Regulatory Implications › Slow Growing IT budgets (2 -4%) › Industry Technological Advances › Reducing Complexity *Ray Paquet, Gartner, March 2005
BMC Approach The Next Step in Management Evolution A single, integrated solution that brings together the robustness of PATROL classic with the ease of use and implementation of PATROL Express. Enterprise Event Integration Value PATROL CLASSIC Service Level Management Advanced Troubleshooting Administration & Configuration PATROL EXPRESS Intelligent Automation Performance Monitoring Up/Down Detection Capabilities
BMC Portal BMC Performance Manager Portal Single interface with PATROL Express ease of use • SIM Portal –select to install, seamless integration with BMC Portal, view business elements • BMC Performance Manager Portal – PE and PATROL data, Configure PE Elements and leverage namespace of Console Server • Other Portals… SIM Portal … Web Browser BMC Performance Manager Components Other Portals BMC Performance Manager Centralized and simplified configuration, reporting and distribution • RSM –configuration, administration, data collection, • Dynamic provisioning of LLP – provisioning happens under the covers, user get to schedule provisioning • Common data repository for reporting and analysis – centrally stores managed information and BMC Performance Manager configuration information Reporting Deployment Flexible data collection Managed Node AGENTLESS Managed Node LIGHTWEIGHT PATROL Agent LOCAL (via Console Server) PRESENCE Managed Systems Collection Managed Systems • Agentless - using standard communication protocols: Perf. Mon, WMI, rstatd, Secure Shell (SSH), SNMP, HTTP/HTTPS, SQL*NET, Ping, DNS • Lightweight Local Presence – minimum presence needed to gather data in specific cases BMC Portal Server Configuration
High-Level Roadmap Q 1 2005 Q 2 2005 Q 3 2005 Q 1 2006 Q 2 2006 One Architecture One View One License Visualization Release Q 4 2005 Users can view PATROL 7, PATROL Express, SIM information in the BMC Portal. (4/05) License Consolidation Single functional license across all BMC Performance Manager products (7/05) SDK Allow users to build native applications (8/05) Data Integration Release Leverages existing investment in PATROL by centralizing data, reporting, and threshold management (12/05) Native Solutions Native BMC Performance Manager Solutions Dynamic deployment based on user needs; no more dependencies on PATROL (12/05 ->) Continued delivery/support of PATROL
BMC Performance Manager Upgrade Plan Three Transitional Phases › Visualization § Customers can view their PATROL 7 and SIM data in the BMC Portal console along side their PATROL Express data › Data Integration § Data collected via PATROL 3/7 is stored in the same common repository; PATROL Express reports and event management are seen as one regardless of where the data is collected › Final Transition § BMC Performance Manager Applications are deployed to fully exploit the features of BMC Performance Manager infrastructure § Remote / agent-less monitoring where possible

BMC Performance Manager Customer Impact - Final Transition 2006 Final Transition to BMC Performance Manager § PATROL Classic is still supported but not required § Managed nodes leveraging the “Data Integration” release still supported but not required § Knowledge Module and applicable managed node configuration are migrated from PATROL 3/7 to BMC Performance Manager § Migration of event integration from PATROL (PET / Common Connect) to BMC Performance Manager (ii. WS) is required § Migration of PATROL Reporting environment for managed nodes managed by new BMC Performance Manager applications is required
