Install and customize enterprise management capabilities for the BLM.
-
Improve software distribution, IT inventory, remote control/troubleshooting, and IT event management across the enterprise.
-
Automate the large scale deployment of this management capability to 11,000 workstations and servers that are dispersed across the United States
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a dispersed heterogeneous computing environment that includes 11,000 nodes. BLM required an enterprise management solution for their systems and network, and Ephibian assisted BLM and a prime contractor in deploying IBM/Tivoli Software to do so. The solution centered on IBM/Tivoli Inventory, Software Distribution, Remote Control, Distributed Monitoring and TEC.
Scripts were developed to automate the framework deployment and to provide a method for easily deploying this code to thousands of endpoints. Ephibian assisted in customizing the software such that software distributions to, and inventory scans of, thousands of workstations and servers was successful, repeatable, and routine.
Ephibian also assisted in deploying software to remotely control PCs that are widely dispersed. This centralized capability significantly decreased the amount of local PC support required. This will allow BLM, over time, to reduce manpower costs substantially or to focus existing staff on other critical issues.
Ephibian’s mass deployment of endpoint code for BLM now allows them to provide monitoring and IT event management across their environment.
