April 2005 – Tivoli Capacity Planning and Reporting, a Step Closer!

The OS Security Capacity Planning application has reached its first milestone – providing reports from IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse ITM Metrics.

Are you paying a lot of money for your Data Reporting Application? Why not drop a mail to info@os-security.com and register for our Early Release Program?

Q4 2004 – Capacity Planning and Reporting

OS Security initiate a project to construct a J2EE application that can be configured to not only report upon Tivoli generated metrics but to also provide Capacity Planning functionality. This application is envisaged to report from Tivoli Data Warehouse data, either via the specific Data Marts or the main Data Warehouse. However, as the application is standards based, it can easily be modified to report from any structured data source. Sound interesting? Watch this space!

March 2004 – Early Experiences with IBM Tivoli Intelligent ThinkDynamics Orchestrator and IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager

Our Orchestrator and Provisioning Tutor (the only non-IBM Trainer for these products in EMEA!) wrote a white paper that shares initial experiences of IBM Tivoli Intelligent ThinkDynamics Orchestrator (ITO). This document also discusses how we have used the current version of the product (1.1 build 788) to provide a basic level of integration with the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (ITEC) and the Tivoli Management Agent. IBM liked this so much – they turned it into a Field Guide, available for download – and quite by accident, missed Ghufran’s name from the title!
