IBM Tivoli Management Framework (TMF) is a systems management platform from IBM (previously Tivoli Systems, Inc., acquired by IBM in 1996 and moved into IBM's Software Group division). The Framework is a CORBA-based architecture that allows the platform to manage large numbers of remote locations or devices.

[edit] Products that use TMF

  • IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager - Provides hardware and software Inventory and Software Distribution capabilities. Followup as a non-TMF version or incorporated with other software with similar functionality.
  • IBM Tivoli Distributed Monitoring Classic (DM) - Provides agent based monitoring capabilities. Still widely used by customers. Replaced with IBM/Tivoli Monitoring (formerly Candle, not based on TMF) and IBM/Netcool OMNIBus family (also not framework product).
  • IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) - Provides enterprise class event management handling and correlation. Still widely used by customers, but EOSed by IBM in late 2008. A possible followup: IBM Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus family (not based on TMF).
  • IBM Tivoli NetView - for network management; utilizes SNMP; can use TMF or not. EOSed by IBM in late 2008. Possible followup: IBM Tivoli Network Manager (Netcool Precision, not based on TMF)
  • IBM Tivoli Remote Control - Includes VNC-like capabilities. Likely to be replaced by a non-TMF version.
  • IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager (SA AM)
  • IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (TSA)
  • IBM Tivoli Security Information
  • IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler

[edit] Netcool

IBM acquired MicroMuse, the original producer of Netcool, in February, 2006 [1]. IBM loosely retains the Netcool branding of the companies network management and event management products under the larger Tivoli brand.

IBM Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus operations management software consolidates complex IT and network operation management tasks as the primary event management platform within the suite. [2]
