10 Agenda Introduction: IT Service Management In Focus Availability Management in Action Innovation that Optimizes IT Operations Best Practices for Availability Management How to Get Started 10

11 Availability and Performance Management in Action When IT resources are not available or not performing up to expectations, a company s business is at risk. The reality is: About 50% of outages are reported by customers via the helpdesk* 92% of all IT processes are manual* IT change leads to more than 60% of availability and performance issues* When a problem occurs, 80% of IT Operations time is spent isolating and diagnosing the problem* Scenario: - Application Performance Degradation *Based on IBM customer engagements 11

12 Application Performance Degradation Without Tivoli Availability Management 1. Sense End users call help desk due to slow application performance IT Ops sees many events and doesn t know which are related to problem 2. Isolate Individual IT domain experts are brought together in an attempt to isolate the issue All domain experts show that their IT segment is currently operating well 3. Diagnose Multiple teams in parallel begin working on diagnoses for the problem No change history information is consulted 4. Take Action Systems are restarted 5. Evaluate Solution validated; other impacts unknown Cost Problem Eliminated Sense Isolate Diagnose Action Evaluate Time 12

13 Application Performance Resolution With Tivoli Availability Management 1. Sense End user response time trend identified before users notice difference in performance 2. Isolate Transaction flow is deconstructed End-to-end application view provides insight into web server response time problem 3. Diagnose Cost Historical analysis is leveraged in context of this web server problem Expert advice integrated into solution enables Operations team to resolve 4. Take Action Operations team takes Pre-approved actions based on policy 5. Evaluate Service status is returned to operational 13 Online Banking Problem Eliminated Sense Isolate Diagnose Action Evaluate Time

30 IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.1: Beta Excitement! The largest beta in IBM Tivoli history! More than 100 customers enrolled posts to the beta forum Beta feedback has been incorporated into the product to significantly improve customer value (e.g. in TEC integration) 200+ field personnel have access to the beta code, documentation and support forums 30

31 What Beta Customers Have Told Us love the expert advice in the product. This product is very competitive to what we've seen in other products. We love it, because it fills a massive reporting hole in our organisation. It also puts a nice GUI front end to our monitoring that we can farm out to our internal customers so that they can see how their boxes are running. Feedback so far for ease of use is really really really good. ITM6.1 provides the opportunity for data collection and visualization that is very challenging under the old ITM 5 structure. It will require us to re-think how we do fault detection, but provides users with better fault analysis potential. I loved seeing resource model data in graphical form. 31
