Description of BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management products
The products that are available to you for installation from the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution depend on the deployment templates: Proof of concept (POC), Small, Medium, or Large deployment. For example, if you select the POC template, you cannot install the BMC ProactiveNet and Performance Management Central Server.
The BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution is divided into two logical layers, the Control Tier and the Workload Tier. The Control Tier products contain all BMC applications that are required for managing the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution. The Location Tier products enable you to scale the solution for multiple data center locations, either physical or logical.
The Control layer consists of integrated sets of applications that are organized into the following functional categories:
- Cloud Self-Service and Service Catalog
- Cloud Provisioning
- Cloud Monitoring
- Cloud Management and Automation Infrastructure
