Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Ensure 100% compliance for IBM Software licensing by using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform alongside IBM’s License Metric Tool.

The benefits of IBM Software are too many to mention, but it can also be expensive, and difficult to track and maintain. Cloud and complexity make controlling your IBM Software infrastructure even harder. IBM’s Licence Metric Tool (ILMT) is intended to help organisations manage their IBM Software licensing requirements and maintain an audit ready posture, but there can be many issues to overcome.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can help…

ILMT is agent-based; so, should ILMT agents be installed on every server in your infrastructure? Or, just on the servers you think are running IBM Software? The first option is expensive, and the second rather risky. In contrast to ILMT, Ansible Automation Platform is an agentless solution, i.e., it only needs to be installed once, and communicates with all other machines via the software already installed on them. Hence with Ansible Automation Platform, IBM software users could install it just once and easily check where IBM software is installed in their entire IT infrastructure.
