Many customers use Netcool/OMNIbus to manage tens of millions of events daily.The software can be deployed in a distributed, parallel or hierarchical fashion to support complex operations environments that span diverse geographic boundaries. Because it couples scalability with a flexible architecture, the software can deliver robust event management to support environments of any size. When the software detects faults, they are processed in the ObjectServer, a high-speed, in-memory database that collects events from across the infrastructure in real time. Netcool/OMNIbus then eliminates duplicate events and filters events through an advanced problem escalation engine. The software enables your staff to hone in on the most critical problems and even automate the isolation and resolution of those problems.
The core features of Netcool/OMNIbus Active Dashboards include:To actively collect business and technology events from more than 1,000 sources in real time, use Netcool Probes. These lightweight agents and applications look for events and traps, and monitor network devices across the business. You can also develop and customize Netcool Probes to support virtually any kind of "event," such as those generated by proprietary business applications. In addition to the Netcool Probes, you can deploy the IBM Tivoli Monitoring family that integrates with Netcool/OMNIbus to proactively measure user experiences and performance across applications — and generate alarms based on thresholds you establish.
Your organization can also assimilate data from applications and the operations environment into service views by using Netcool/Webtop. Netcool/Webtop provides your executives, line-of-business managers, operations personnel and customers with real-time, customizable views of faults, services and key performance indicators. Highly customizable dashboards offer an array of images, graphical maps, charts, tables and event lists that are tailored according to your requirements — showing the "big picture" of a service or the specific devices that may be causing a problem.
