Main features
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications – product for IT-personal staff and IT-support specialists, who need:
- to find, isolate problems and take relevant actions (in case of resources problem) or escalate the issue to a relevant specialist (in case of a software errors);
- to carry out contextual monitoring of all applications resources to exclude internal conflicts;
- to centralize monitoring in order to decrease workload of experts and give them an opportunity of software developing;
- to consolidate applications management on an enterprise scale by means of the single integrated solution;
- to simplify monitoring and management tasks by means of adjustable representations on the base of roles;
- to use effectively the general data model so as to provide the coordinated representation of productivity and availability indices for a number of applications resources;
- to improve effectiveness of debugging for middleware, databases and applications.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail – product for storage management allowing data backup and recovery functions automation, It helps to lower costs and meet the requirements of data keeping and availability.
Main features:
- data backup and recovery acceleration, as well as applications availability increasing;
- data deduplication (also known as Single-Instance Storage) and storage hierarchy creation;
- data safety increasing by means of innovative access and encoding management functions;
- assistance in adaptation to changes in IT-Infrastructure that allows to minimize services regularity and accelerate processes of data recovery and backup;
- increasing transparency of data protection environment, providing the advanced functions of operative monitoring and statistical reports creation;
- creation of adjustable reports in various formats, such as HTML, Adobe Portable Document Formatting (PDF) ones, and files of Comma Separated Values (CSV).
IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files product provides guaranteed data recovery via regular automatic creation, tracking and storage of system restore points.
Main features:
