Application Management

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. 

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:

• Services and Transactions - service level response times and problem isolation.

• Applications - deep-dive diagnostics and correlation across subsystems.
