Description Tivoli Event Services Manager is an integral part of Tivoli s service delivery management family of products. This plug-and-play software can allow the NetGeneration and emerging service providers to support multi-provider, multi-technology offerings. As service providers offer more and more services, a greater importance will be placed on managing multiple devices involved in the service. In many cases the service will be provided by one technology overlaid on another, or with the use of services from another provider. In addition, end point devices (such as a Web host or a hand-held device) may be part of the service being provided. In these scenarios, Tivoli Event Services Manager can handle events from various technologies and allow for correlation capabilities across these differing technologies. Tivoli Event Services Manager can collect and manage events and problems from resources such as network elements, software applications, and computer systems. Tivoli Event Services Manager will enable service providers to: Rapidly build and deliver revenue generating services Tivoli s solution provides powerful correlation technologies for problem determination. Enhance the service provider customer s Quality of Service (QoS) experience Trend analysis performed on the collected events may be used to identify and remove a failure-prone component before it impacts customers. Manage the multi-provider, multi-customer configurations Tivoli Event Services Manager can provide the scalability to manage growing service provider networks, and has the ability to manage various resources, such as networks, applications, and systems. Tivoli Event Services Manager provides the event and problem management services that can allow application and underlying management systems to: Send events using a variety of protocols including SNMP, Tivoli Enterprise Console events, and a proprietary event submission application program interface Publish problems and events based on topics and filters to another application or to an operator s console Subscribe to events and problems in real-time based on topics and filters (including updates) for processing or display Reduce the volume of event data through correlation across events, to send out root cause/summary events, and suppress correlated child events Query and update event and problem data Share event and problem information logged in the event database Get change notifications on events and problems Tivoli Event Services Manager: Distributes and stores events in a persistent, scalable, and robust manner Provides a set of APIs that can be used to perform trouble ticket operations and associate events to trouble tickets Euro Currency This program is not impacted by euro currency.
