BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management

Open the console, pick the application you want to move, and the platform guides you from scoping to cutover. Start with a built-in assessment that maps dependencies, flags compliance risks, and suggests the right target (public cloud, private cloud, or on-prem). You’ll get an upfront cost and sizing estimate with policy checks, then generate a migration plan you can schedule in waves. Connect your CMDB to import inventories, tag assets, and keep changes synchronized in real time. Approvals can require MFA, and every step writes to an auditable timeline you can export to a runbook.

Daily provisioning is just as structured. Create reusable blueprints for VMs, Kubernetes clusters, and PaaS services, and publish them to a self-service catalog with role-based guardrails. When a developer requests an environment, the system handles network placement, security groups, and keys; deploys to AWS, Azure, GCP, or your hypervisors (vSphere, Hyper-V, XenServer); and runs post-config via your preferred tools through API integrations. Version each template, track changes, and roll back with one click. Pipelines can auto-promote from test to production after policy checks and performance gates.

Keep spend predictable while you build. Before launch, view the forecast by project, tag, or account; set budgets; and schedule automated reports to stakeholders. The cost engine highlights anomalies, idle resources, and right-sizing opportunities, and can enforce schedules that power down non-prod at night. Dashboards combine usage, capacity, and job costing so finance and engineering see the same numbers. Chargeback and showback models are built in, and SLA tracking lets you tie costs to service levels, not just raw consumption.

Operations teams monitor health across hybrid estates from one place. AI-assisted analytics correlate events, isolate probable root causes, and can trigger automated remediation playbooks. Traffic inspection and policy filters help block bad actors at the edge, while compliance profiles continuously evaluate configurations and open tickets when drift occurs. Inventory, contracts, and exceptions are centralized for audit readiness. With real-time sync and collaboration tools, service desk, SecOps, and dev teams share context, keep environments secure, and deliver steady performance to users.
