Getting started

BladeLogic Portal is a web-based user interface that provides a subset of the functionality available in BMC Server Automation. With "the portal," IT operations users can execute common server configuration management activities, such as patching, compliance, and software deployment. Typically, the portal interface offers fewer choices than BMC Server Automation, making it easier to perform many data center automation tasks.
