Overview
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Management solution helps you increase the performance and availability of business-critical applications, including portal and SOA-based technologies. Proactive, real-time problem resolution is uniquely performed utilizing a portal-based end-to-end view of services, transactions and associated resources across platforms and subsystems, and launch in context between transactions and resources. The Tivoli solution can reduce IT lifecycle costs across operations, support and development by directly linking operations and development.
Today's business processes often depend on a number of complex applications. These composite applications use business logic and data that span Web servers, J2EE application servers, integration middleware and mainframe systems. Although most businesses have traditional monitoring tools to manage individual resources at a high level, many lack an integrated solution to automatically monitor, analyze and resolve problems at the service, transaction, application and resource levels. As a result, operations and development may take a long time to identify, isolate and fix composite application problems. Please view the META Analyst Report for additional information on composite application management challenges.
The IBM Tivoli Composite Application Management solution helps you quickly isolate, diagnose and fix business-critical application performance problems. When an incident occurs, the Tivoli solution helps the IT staff quickly resolve it by facilitating the information flow between the Operations, Development and Support groups. A powerful visualization of problem information is available using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, along with customizable views of performance metrics. Please view the buyer's guide for in-depth checklists to help evaluate application management solutions.
The Tivoli composite application management solution is designed to help you:
- Monitor services and response times to detect potential slowdowns or performance bottlenecks before the end-user is affected
- Mediate services and enforce policies
- Trace transactions and accurately diagnose problems by quickly drilling down to the root cause
- Monitor and adjust resources to ensure they are used efficiently
The Tivoli solution addresses all three dimensions of effective application management:
| :: Provide Response Time Tracking
for Web and Microsoft Windows environments using a variety of robotic
and real-time techniques |
:: Seamlessly integrate
with IBM Rational tools for easy-to-use life-cycle support |
| :: Track transactions from end to end across
multiple systems to quickly isolate and resolve the cause of bottlenecks
or other issues |
:: Save administrator time with an easy-to-use
portal that unites key performance and availability metrics and
presents contextual, resource-based views and diagnostic tools |
| :: Proactively avoid problems by providing alerts
on response times before service level agreements are violated |
:: Leverage smooth integration with other Tivoli
products to provide a comprehensive application management solution
for complex environments |
| :: Track Web services transactions to help isolate
problems in service orientated architecture (SOA) applications |
