Virtualization & hardware
MDM, ODBM, OJDM and other apps read virtual relationship and hardware data from Infrastructure Mapper (IFMP). These are the ways to get that data in.
By utilizing the Infrastructure Mapper app, all relevant hardware and virtualization details will be synchronized to the relevant apps that require this information for full analysis, below are a list of applications that use this data from IFMP:
- Microsoft Deployment Manager (for proper calculation of licensing requirements for Windows Server and SQL Server)
- Oracle Database Manager (for proper calculations of licensing requirements for all products)
- Oracle Middleware Manager (for proper calculations of licensing requirements for all products)
- Oracle Java Deployment Manager (for proper calculations of licensing requirements for legacy processor licensing metric)
- Red Hat Deployment Manager (for proper calculations of licensing requirements for all VDC and instance based licensing)
