IBM brings hosted Tivoli monitoring to wider market

▤ Summary

IBM is to launch a hosted version of its Tivoli monitoring software for companies that would rather pay a subscription fee than license the product for on-premise use. Businesses need to be warned if an important application is about to crash or slows down, and services like this aim to achieve that by sending an alert to IT staff when server memory gets low, for example, or the response time for a web page drops below a certain level. The other is an agentless service, priced at $44(£27) per resource per month, for monitoring hardware devices, operating systems, websites and SNMP alerts. IBM is also offering an optional reporting service, for a monthly fee of $15(£9) per resource, which provides historical data for tasks such as troubleshooting and predicting capacity needs. The service is also being offered in other markets, starting with Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa and the Nordic countries.
