New IBM Software Automates Systems, Storage and Security Management for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

IBM today announced new software to help small and mid-sized companies automate the management of PCs, servers, storage and security technology across their entire infrastructures. IBM’s new Tivoli Express software enables mid-sized companies, such as online retailers, hospitals and local banks, to manage their information technology (IT) with the same integrated capabilities that larger companies rely on — but with software that is more affordable and easier to deploy.

Since mid-sized businesses typically have smaller IT budgets and fewer employees with the skills to handle IT management problems, they often find it challenging to protect data, guarantee system availability and ensure security. With IBM’s new Tivoli Express software, smaller businesses have a simple, cost-effective and secure way to view and integrate hardware, software, storage, networks and computer systems throughout their organizations.

For example, a school district or community hospital that may not have IT experts on hand could now rely on automated management capabilities to correct service problems such as failed email systems, server outages or employees accessing confidential information. Also, a local bank could use this software to monitor its applications, servers and authorized users, ensuring continuous uptime for tellers processing loan applications for customers.
