Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager

IBM Tivoli® OMNIbus and Network Manager provides real-time network discovery, network monitoring and event management for IT domains and next-generation network environments.

It increases availability and performance of critical business services and infrastructure by providing a single consolidated operations management solution for a wide range of complex environments.

• Delivers a central point of management for all IT and network operations
• Optimizes service availability, reliability and asset utilization through automated event correlation, isolation and resolution capabilities enabling rapid identification and resolution of the most critical problems
• Maximizes return on infrastructure investment, through accurate discovery of deployed IP-equipped assets and their configuration, identifying unused ports and recovering lost capacity and minimizing downtime
• Provides real-time Web dashboard views with customizable displays for events, service views and operational indicators for true Consolidated Operations Management
• Automates event deduplication and correlation, rapid root-cause fault isolation and in-context prioritization and diagnosis, to increase productivity and operational efficiency
• Discovers devices and the physical port-to-port connectivity, as well as the logical topology including VPN, VLAN, and MPLS; delivering highly accurate, real-time information on network connectivity, availability, performance, usage, and inventory
• Supports current and evolving standards, including ITIL®, COBIT, eTOM, IPv4 and IPv6, and uses FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic providers
• Operating systems supported: HP-UX, Linux

Features, advantages and benefits

Features	Advantages	Benefits
Real-time, centralized monitoring of complex networks and IT domains. With scalability that exceeds millions of events per day	Bridges the gap across multiple networks and IT silos to help organizations improve the end-to-end availability of their applications and services.	Help increase efficiency by consolidating network and IT operations under a single management solution with automated fault deduplication, isolation and resolution capabilities to minimize problem resolution time.
Supports a vast array of network devices, protocols, systems, business applications and security devices.	Enables staff to hone in on the most critical problems and even automate the isolation and resolution of those problems.	Help optimize service availability by quickly identifying problems before they cause costly outages and by adopting real-time service views
Provides high scalability with a flexible architecture, the software can deliver robust event management to support environments of any size.	Helps improve the efficiency of their problem resolution efforts by providing an advanced capability for automating corrective actions to common problems	Help accelerate deployment of new business services by integrating the management of existing and next-generation technologies
Provides the accurate network visibilities required to efficiently and effectively visualize and manage complex networks, and more importantly, the services delivered across them.	Facilitate real-time root-cause analysis and speed problem resolution.	Help increase the availability and performance of critical business services by leveraging advanced correlation, automated diagnostics and root-cause analysis.
Serving as a trusted source for collecting and distributing network data, it integrates with OSS and other mission-critical workflow applications	Identify the root causes of network downtime, and to significantly reduce the time it takes to resolve network faults.	Drive operations efficiency by rapidly isolating the root causes of network downtime — right down to the node and port levels — and addressing problems before they become outages that hamper business.
Delivers highly accurate, real-time information on network connectivity, availability, performance, usage, and inventory – information that is vital to achieving flow-through provisioning and maximum return on network assets.	Network maps are automatically generated and maintained as the network changes without manual intervention.	Help minimize unnecessary hardware investments and network overbuild by obtaining visibility into unused ports and recovering lost capacity and physical assets.
