Monitoring

IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) is a software solution that enables clients to monitor their hardware, operating systems, applications, databases etc. Developed from the IBM acquired Omegamon product-set, ITM is highly regarded for its pro-active monitoring and automated fault management.

IBM Websphere MQ (WMQ) provides a Universal Messaging Backbone on distributed platforms to connect virtually any commercial IT system. Over many years, WMQ has become the De Facto standard for mission-critical, assured and one-time-only message transfer across all industries. As a long-standing partner of IBM with skills in both Tivoli and Websphere, Orbital is well placed to offer this packaged solution, enabling businesses to ensure continued service of their core MQ processes….

In today’s fast-moving world, the performance and availability of your E-business infrastructure can mean the difference between success and failure. Losing availability of a business-critical server, or performance degradation in your message pipe environment, can result in significant financial loss, as well as longer-term damage to your brand. With the increase in enterprise strategic applications and e-business systems, not only has the number of business-integrated resources increased but they are also spread across many locations. Thus the task of managing IBM® WebSphere® MQ resources has become increasingly complex for the IT professional.

IBM Tivoli® Monitoring for Business Integration can help increase the availability of your WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker resources, even on IBM z/OS™, and take actions to avert or alert you to potential problems with the performance of those resources. Tivoli Monitoring for Business Integration can help you:

• Monitor the status of WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker servers—Provides realtime status on the availability and performance of business-critical servers and through best-practices monitoring of key WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker components.
• Notify administrators and take automated actions—Out-of-the-box identification of common WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker problems notifies administrators of potential issues and automates actions to help implement fixes before problems affect end users.
• Beyond monitoring—Manages configuration of your complex environment and collects monitoring data for use in historical reporting, performance analysis, trend prediction and enterprise wide business impact analysis.
