Each
asset
is
represented
by
a
data
center
object.
When
you
make
a
change
to
an
asset
with
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator,
the
data
center
object
is
updated
in
the
data
center
model.
If
a
change
is
made
outside
of
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator,
the
external
change
can
be
identified
by
comparing
it
with
the
data
center
object
in
the
data
center
model.
v
For
some
data
center
assets,
the
data
center
model
stores
data
about
the
asset
and
data
about
deploying
or
provisioning
the
asset
separately
to
provide
a
range
of
implementation
options.
For
example,
when
a
software
package
is
added
to
the
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
software
catalog,
you
define
the
software
package
as
a
installable
file.
You
can
then
create
software
definitions
that
describe
different
configuration
requirements
and
configuration
options
for
installing
the
same
software
package.
v
You
can
create
templates
that
define
standard
configurations.
For
example,
you
can
create
a
server
template
that
includes
the
routing,
software,
and
storage
configuration
for
a
particular
application
tier.
When
a
server
is
added
to
the
application
tier,
the
defined
configuration
is
automatically
applied.
v
You
can
define
application
topologies
that
describe
requirements
for
an
application.
You
can
then
deploy
an
application
based
on
the
defined
application
requirements.
Orchestrating
provisioning
You
can
configure
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
to
dynamically
allocate
resources
to
applications
based
on
demand
or
priority.
Applications
can
share
pools
of
available
resources
to
optimize
utilization
and
eliminate
idle
resources
or
excess
allocation
of
resources.
Product
comparison
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
includes
Tivoli
Provisioning
Manager,
a
standalone
product
that
can
be
purchased
separately,
based
on
your
data
center
needs.
Tivoli
Provisioning
Manager
provides
core
automated
deployment
capability,
while
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
adds
policy-based
decision-making
capabilities.
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
uses
historical
and
current
demand
and
performance
data,
as
well
as
defined
business
policies
to
determine
where
and
when
to
allocate
resources.
When
a
deployment
decision
is
made,
Tivoli
Intelligent
Orchestrator
runs
workflows
to
automatically
make
the
required
configuration
and
allocation
changes.
You
can
specify
the
degree
of
automated
provisioning
that
you
require
at
the
global,
application,
and
tier
level.
