tivoli

Well in the Project DOE world, which spawned Tivoli systems and a bevy of object brokers, one of the challenges is the subroutine.

Misses IBM Tivoli TSM and Legato Networker, backup systems that work in practise and don't fail on you.

Depends, do they have a fraction of the IT staff that Tivoli and Opsware users have?

There might be some odd exceptions that sound better through a Tivoli mono speaker, but those are far and few between.

The technology behind this is minimal, some security improvements, maybe a Tivoli or Rational plugin.

Yes, there was competition between OpenView & Tivoli and competition between KVM vendors.

A visio/VBA script to parse a Tivoli Maestro job configuration file and create a flow chart of the dependencies of each batch job.

The post lost credibility for me when I saw it listed IBM's purchase of Tivoli as a notable M&A deal.

I'm more inclined to use Open Source solutions, though, which Tivoli and Legato are not.

Second, at the time, no one at Tivoli would have described their products as having anything to do with SaaS (known as ASP back then).

So when a company like Target had 100,000 cash registers, IBM got to sell services around deployment and maintenance, and management software like Tivoli to manage the devices.

I had a ton of fun with Prolog embedded in the Tivoli Enterprise Console for managing network events from OpenView/NetView and a gaggle of other tools in a huge network.

Many people do much of the fancy stuff with system managment products (Tivoli or BMC patrol spring to mind from past experiences).

And from what I hear other IBM tools are crap as well (like Tivoli) Want to see an exemplar acquisition?

I did a lot of work with IBM tech in general - AIX, Power systems, Tivoli...
