IBM was the overall market revenue leader in 2006 for worldwide system management software,
with 15.6% market share.
Management of Windows platforms continued to grow and had the highest
revenue, with 37.6% share of the market total.

The Goal of A Monitoring System
Reducing the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
 By Some Estimates
 10% of users report a problem they have
 90% “try again later” (or not) or move on to something else.
 Tivoli’s ability, in Microsoft environments, to quickly correlate, isolate and
diagnose the root cause of problems can dramatically reduce MTTR
 Down time and non-productive time is money lost
 What is your cost of downtime per application?

IBM Tivoli Monitoring Visibility
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal for System Management
 The Tivoli Enterprise Portal is the central location to view and act on
information provided by the system monitors
 Consolidated view can significantly
reduce mean time to recover
 Centralized visualization of
real-time and historical data can
help with “intermittent” problems
 Personalized views based on the
user roles and scope
 Visualization of resource
utilization can highlight areas
to reduce costs
 Visualization can streamline
identifying a problems “root cause”

11
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Control
Alerting through Situations
 Situations allow operators to quickly distribute a set of conditions to
determine if a potential problem exists in any monitored resource
 Out-of-the-box situations
provide immediate return
on investment and fast
time to value
 Extended situations reduce
false alerts and raise
confidence of operators that
alerts are real.
 Tight integration into root
cause analysis tools
improve mean time to
recovery

12
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Control
The Historical Context from Tivoli Data Warehouse
 Tivoli Data Warehouse is the backbone repository and central data store for
all historical management data and the basis for Tivoli reporting
 Centralized and consolidated data is crucial to reducing mean time to recovery
 Side-by-side historical
data assists in separating
intermittent from reoccurring
problems from peak
workloads

13
 Take Action allows for entry of individual commands and either manual or
automated processes to be executed in response to an individual situation
 Out-of-the-box take actions
provide immediate return
on investment and fast
time to value
 Personalized take actions can
capture a local best practice for
unique situations and execute it
preemptively
 User-defined text can also
imbed knowledge that may
be unique to a particular situation

 Workflows can automate the best practices of an organization and execute
them in a repetitive, pre-emptive, consistent and error-free manner
 Drag-and-drop technology
allows operators to build and
deploy intelligent, pre-emptive
and error-free workflows
 Can be executed manually
by help desk or executed based
on situational events
 Workflows tie together
individual resource monitors
or “take actions” based on
user-defined criteria

“The real-time and historical data
provided with IBM Tivoli Monitoring
6.1 and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
will enable ADP to quickly and
easily access the information we
need to monitor service levels,
project capacity needs and maintain
availability of critical business
applications”
Rob Traill

Automatic Data Processing Inc.
Business Challenge
 ADP needed a stable performance and capacity
management solution that would help reduce operational
costs and improve availability of critical client facing and
internal back-office applications.
On Demand Business Benefits
 Faster root-cause analysis will lead to reduced operational
management costs.
 Up to 15% increase in staff productivity achieved in systems
administration and creation of management reports.
 Proactive alerts enable corrective action to be taken before
critical applications are effected, reducing unplanned
downtime.
 With comprehensive capacity planning data, accurate
predictions can be made about future resource requirements
to stay in line with forecasted business demand.
Solution
 IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1
 IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse 2.1

IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Virtualization
The Wintel Virtualization Space is Growing Fast
 Provides key performance management insights into
virtualized environments
 What is the overall resource utilization of my server?
 How are resources allocated per virtual machine?
 What is the resource utilization per virtual machine, and
how can I optimize it?
 These Microsoft and Intel virtual environments are monitored
 Microsoft Virtual Server 2005
 VMware as the market leader
 Citrix
 Xen (recent Citrix acquisition)
Consolidation not only bring benefits, but new challenges.

 Users are “tree huggers”! They worry about their tree while IT has to worry about the forest
 IT has to determine the user’s most
important tree or trees
 Then define “Availability”
 End-user “Availability” depends on
the sum of all the individual
components’ but the end-user won’t
care
 Windows, although critical, is one
component of the overall availability
measurement
 It is necessary to set and monitor
usage metrics that are attainable
and verifiable
……………... IF a firm has little history of measuring IT performance, IT SHOULD BEGIN by measuring efficiency and
service levels, as opposed to taking on value metrics that are difficult to quantify. Later, when IT measurement has
become part of the company's culture, IT measurement can begin to capture the business value of IT.

 ITCAM for Response Time
 Measures the efficiency of
service delivery to the end user
 ITCAM for Web Resources

 IBM Tivoli Service Level Advisor
 Tracks historical service levels
against response times and other
agreed to metrics
 All of this is still delivered to the single IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal
and Data Warehouse to ensure a common monitoring and
reporting environment

Several Analyst’s View
Customer’s Should Consider ITIL and Service Management
With the introduction of ITIL version 3 we expect many savvy customers to embrace this more end-to-end
view of services and service lifecycle management and that a vendor’s ability to help customers adopt this
more integrated approach to service management will become a critical differentiator… As a result, IBM
comes out as the player with the greatest basis of differentiation.
Ovum IT Service Management Vendor Report Card 2006
IBM is in a clear overall lead in IT
systems management, with its broad
and extensive Tivoli offering that
spans almost all aspects of IT systems
management...
Datamonitor believes IBM will
continue to lead in this market due to
its superior vertical reach and
continuous improvement of its
technology.

Discovering the Underlying Problem
Who gets blamed when a Microsoft Application isn’t available?
 Microsoft components are weaved into the fabric of most
customer’s service delivery
 To be successful Microsoft components must be monitored
and integrated into the end-to-end systems management
solution
 Significant Mean-Time-To-Failure gains can be realized by
integrating problem correlation between Microsoft and non-
Microsoft components
 Network devices such as switches, routers, firewalls
 Environments where data is stored on the Mainframe
 Heterogeneous server environments
