- You have installed the ILMT but no internal resources for regular maintenance?
- Error messages pop up (access to vCenter, systems not reachable, agent scanning errors, etc.) and you don't have time to fix them?
- You create an audit snapshot and are unsure whether it is error-free or contains risks?
- You have purchased IBM Cloud Paks and there are uncertainties if and how the verification is done in ILMT or IBM License Services?
- What happens with the container Kubernetes environment (container licensing)?
- You need to apply a new update and don't know what impact it will have on your existing system?
- New software components are detected and you don't know if they are licensed and chargeable?
Does that sound familiar?
Let us take care of the ILMT for you:
Whether consulting, installation and implementation or in securing and support. On the basis of sub-capacity licenses, we ensure that you only pay for logical or virtual server capacities that are used by PVU-based PA software.
These customers rely on our expertise:
