February 2010 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
LANDesk Software, a division of Emerson Network Power, announced LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager 4.0.
Asset Lifecycle Manager 4.0 delivers software asset management, data center readiness and increased integration and control.
Asset Lifecycle Manager enables organizations to control proactively IT software assets with comprehensive software discovery, entitlement tracking and recovery capabilities.
Also new in Asset Lifecycle Manager is a wide range of enhancements, which deliver standards-driven planning, operational monitoring and control for the data center by leveraging process automation, catalog-based device reservation and the asset repository. Asset Lifecycle Manager also boasts integration with VMware that allows users to automate VMware actions through the vCenter architecture. This enables the request-driven, policy-enabled IT asset management control needed to address VM sprawl and the potential license and security problems that can result. Asset Lifecycle Manager also includes a connector for Avocent’s datacenter planning and administration tool, Avocent Mergepoint Infrastructure Explorer (AMIE), which extends the reach of the asset repository into the datacenter infrastructure.
The automation and process control embedded in Asset Lifecycle Manager increases centralized control with the delivery of automated responses to requests or events.
