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.
The framework was a kind of best-practices paradigm. Several products used the TMF but it is going to be replaced by SOA techniques over time.[citation needed][clarification needed]
