Systems management
The neutrality of this article is disputed. |
Systems management refers to enterprise-wide administration of distributed computer systems. Systems management is strongly influenced by network management initiatives in telecommunications. The most known systems management systems are IBM Tivoli Framework, Microsoft Systems Management Server, HP OpenView, LANDesk, Novell ZENworks, BMC Patrol and CA Unicenter.
Functions
Functional groups are provided according to ITU-T X.700 standard. This framework is also known as FCAPS.
- Accounting management

- Billing and statistics gathering
However this standard should not be treated as comprehensive, there are obvious omissions. Some are recently emerging sectors, some are implied and some are just not listed. The primary ones are Real-time Application Relationship Discovery which supports Configuration Management, Security Information and Event Management functions (known as SIEM), Workload Scheduling, Business Impact functions (also known as Business Systems Management) and Capacity Management. Performance Management functions can also be split into end-to-end performance measuring and infrastructure component measuring functions.
