BMC Software has big role in Cisco server foray
By BRAD HEM Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle
March 16, 2009, 4:28PM
Cisco’s bold entry into the computer server market today included a prime role for Houston-based BMC Software.
BMC’s server management software will included in Cisco’s new unified computing system, which the San Jose, Calif.-based company has been secrectly working on for two years. Cisco’s move into the server business puts it in direct competition with the likes of Dell, IBM, Sun Microsystems and HP, which has the vast majority of its server operation in Houston.
It also raises BMC’s profile in the server automation industry, and should also elevate BMC’s revenues in the future, said Richard Sherman, an analyst at MKM Partners. BMC already was one of the top data center automation players, along with companies such as HP, IBM and CA.
“I think it elevates BMC, certainly,” Sherman said of the Cisco deal.
BMC played a prominent role in Cisco’s announcement this morning. BMC CEO Bob Beauchamp talked up the deal on television, saying Cisco would change the data center business the way Apple’s iPhone changed the wireless business.
BMC wouldn’t speculate on the effect the partnership would have on the company’s revenue, said Kia Behnia, BMC’s chief technology officer.
Cisco first discussed the possibility of working with BMC on the project last summer, not long after BMC’s $800 million acquisition of data center automation software company BladeLogic one year ago today, Behnia said. BMC executives “were completely blown away” by Cisco’s plans, he said.
The BladeLogic buy was an important precursor, Behnia said.
“We foresaw that automation would be top of mind,” he said. “Obviously we couldn’t see what new hardware offerings there would be.”
Cisco talked to other service automation players, and selected BMC after listening to recommendations from customers the companies shared, said Jackie Ross, vice president of marketing for Cisco’s server access and virtualization business unit.
“We polled the audience basically,” she said. “BMC’s BladeLogic product showed up repeatedly. That enabled it.”
Ross declined to discuss the deal’s structure, including what percentage BMC would get of sales. BMC’s software will be included with Cisco’s system, but customers will have the option of using other software, she said.
While today’s news represents a big opportunity for BMC, it means more competition for HP’s Houston-based server business. Ross said Cisco thinks there is enough room in the $85 billion-to-$120 billion market for a new player, but HP isn’t so excited.
“That’s great, but I hope they take it all from Dell, IBM and Sun,” said Jim Gaunthier, marketing vice president for HP’s enterprise server and storage business.
He said Cisco will have to play catch-up to compete with the other players.
“They have a vision for tomorrow on something that we are delivering today,” he said.

CUSTOMER CASE STUDY: BMC Software Helps Keep UK’s Defence Technology Assets in a State of Readiness
BMC Software (NYSE:BMC) today announced the availability of an important customer case study detailing successful implementation of BMC Remedy IT Service Management by the United Kingdom’s Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S).
The UK armed forces rely on DE&S to supply and support their assets. DE&S uses BMC Remedy IT Service Management solutions to ensure IT service levels, as well as to discover, understand, model, respond, and track IT system problems and business services failures — all as part of an over-arching Business Service Management (BSM) strategy.
The system originally used by DE&S to support defense technology assets was challenging to change and adapt. With the number of assets growing quickly, DE&S needed to devote more and more resources to managing the system. Therefore, the goal was to replace it with a solution that was more user-friendly, adaptive, and cost-effective.
“After a rigorous review of all available alternatives, the British Defence Equipment and Support organization selected and implemented BMC Remedy IT Service Management,” said Dev Ittycheria, president of BMC’s Enterprise Service Management business unit. “DE&S supports as many as 300,000 defense technology assets at 1,100 separate locations — 800 in the UK and 300 overseas, including the full fleet of Royal Navy vessels. BMC Software is proud to be a part of such an important mission.” Read more at http://documents.bmc.com/products/documents/90/90/89090/89090.pdf Business runs on IT. IT runs on BMC Software.

Leading Swiss Financial Services Provider Reduces Cost and Boosts Performance with BMC Software
Online applications give financial services firms the ability to deliver around-the-clock customer access to accounts, but they often also present additional IT challenges that must be effectively managed.
For Swiss Mobiliar, consistently delivering online applications at peak performance is vital to customer satisfaction. This focus has helped the firm maintain its status as one of Switzerland’s leading insurance and pensions providers, a position it entrusts to its long-standing partnership with BMC Software (NYSE:BMC).
One in three Swiss households is insured by Swiss Mobiliar and the firm constantly updates its software systems to provide ever-more efficient services to its 1.3 million customers. As Swiss Mobiliar’s applications and DB2 database have grown in size and complexity, so did the requirement to ensure their continued performance and stability.
“With BMC Software, we can rapidly identify SQL statements that are consuming too many resources and undermining performance. Over the years, BMC has played a critical role in stabilizing those response times and ensuring the successful performance of customer-facing applications,” says Swiss Mobiliar’s Data Management Team Leader, Thomas Baumann.
BMC DB2 solutions automatically detect and alert Swiss Mobiliar to processes running slower than expected, as well as enables the IT staff to conduct regular trends analyses or compare performance statistics. As a result, the emergency performance problems have fallen to zero following a new application deployment. Previously, the time to resolve these problems may have consumed days or months, meaning Swiss Mobiliar has drastically reduced the resources and costs associated with performance problems.
“Switzerland is a key market for us,” said Bill Miller, president of BMC’s Mainframe Service Management business unit. “Customers trust BMC to deliver proven solutions that deliver significant efficiency and performance gains, time and time again. We are very proud of our important and long-standing relationship with Swiss Mobiliar.” Business runs on IT. IT runs on BMC Software.

Despite the expected decline in IT budgets, UBS found that systems management will also prove relatively popular in 2009, with respondents expecting to increase their spending by 1%. Within this sector, software that automates data center tasks, such as server management, will rise 2% as users try to lower their personnel costs.
This was posted last night and was deleted for some reason..Must be off topic..imo
What was Mrs. Belini talking about?
We expect BMC to be the primary beneficiary of this spend as they have the market leading solutions in this space," wrote Heather Bellini, an analyst at UBS, in a statement
