1.2 Tivoli systems management product
Tivoli, as part of the IBM Software group, provides IT resource management
software. The complete systems management approach from Tivoli is grouped
into four pillars, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Tivoli software product pillars
Underlying the Tivoli solution set is a group of common services and an
infrastructure that provides consistency across Tivoli management applications
and enables integration.
Within the Tivoli product family, specific solutions target four primary disciplines
of systems management: Performance and Availability, Configuration and
Operation, Storage Management, and Security. Products within each of these
areas have been made available over the years and, through generations of
enhancements, have become accepted solutions in enterprises around the
world. With these core capabilities in place, IBM has been able to focus on
building applications that take advantage of these pillars to provide true business
systems management solutions.
With this end-to-end set of solutions built on a common foundation, enterprises
can manage the ever-increasing complexity of their IT infrastructures with
reduced staff and increasing efficiency.
