1.1 Introducing the integrated management products

The integrated management products are a family of core products for implementing integrated management of an IT system. The integrated management products enable you to centrally manage information about a system's myriad resources, and enable centralized monitoring and operation across the entire IT system.

The integrated management products link with a wide range of middleware, including other JP1 products that provide job management and storage management functionalities. Integrated management products enable integrated system management to be implemented through configuration and operations management on a system-wide basis.

The integrated management products optimize system management by managing the configuration information created while planning and building the system, as well as the operational information generated during system operation. By providing a core platform for system management, JP1/IM offers full support for the entire workflow - from designing and building the system, through operation, redesign, and rebuild.
