Released at Gartner 26th Annual Data Center Conference, Las Vegas
LONDON, UK, November 29, 2007 – Enigmatec Corporation Limited today announced that it has signed an agreement with Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) for Unisys to use Enigmatec’s run book automation software in real-time infrastructure solutions for clients’ enterprise data centers.
A real-time infrastructure is driven by business rules and dynamically allocates IT resources in response to minute-by-minute operational changes.
Adding the run book automation capability to its real-time infrastructure portfolio boosts Unisys capability to provide real-time orchestration of the crucial components of enterprise IT infrastructure – physical and virtual servers, networks, and storage – and achieve automated management of workflows that meets the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standard for delivery of IT services.
“We are confident that our relationship with Enigmatec will enable Unisys to provide clients with innovative options for deploying IT to support their business,” said Rich Marcello, president, Unisys Systems and Technology. “We believe that our solutions will help clients provide increasingly higher levels of IT service for strategic business processes while realizing greater cost and operational efficiencies.”
Enigmatec’s run book automation technology – the foundation for the award winning Execution Management System (EMS) software – automates the management and control of complex IT processes. By linking together the IT management, provisioning and support tools customers rely on today, and providing a powerful distributed workflow platform in which to design and deploy new workflows for IT operations, Enigmatec delivers run book automation – the integration and orchestration of IT teams’ daily operational tasks and procedures.
Whether it’s a self-service request for a new virtual machine, automated response to a new service ticket being generated, automatic failover and disaster recovery, or real-time provisioning of new servers or storage, any IT operational workflow can be improved and streamlined with run book automation.
“We are excited that Unisys chose Enigmatec as a key component of their real-time infrastructure solution,” said Duncan Johnston-Watt, CTO of Enigmatec. “Our global customers rely on Enigmatec to deliver best-in-class ITIL-compliant process automation solutions, and now the benefits of enterprise-wide automation will be readily available to Unisys’ growing customer base.”
