IBM Certifies Intigua as Ready for Tivoli

The Intigua, Inc.’s platform is Ready for
Tivoli certified by IBM Corp., which means that integration and compatibility
between IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) and the Intigua platform have been
validated by IBM.

The Intigua platform is also now part of the IBM Integrated
Service Management (ISM) Library.

Intigua transforms existing management
solutions into dynamic, policy-based services that are easier to
provision, upgrade, control and troubleshoot, including widely-used IBM
solutions such as:

• IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM)
• Tivoli End-Point Manager (TEM)
• Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM)
• Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)
• IBM Platform Symphony for big data and grid computing

By converting standard Tivoli agents into virtual, ‘zero-install’
agents with all of the same functionality as physical agents, Intigua
de-couples management software from the underlying server infrastructure. This
eliminates the complexity, operational overhead and implementation delays commonly
associated with raditional agents that require physical installation on all
servers.

To enhance application performance and
uptime, virtual agents are ‘sandboxed’ in virtual containers (similar
to VMDKs) that insulate servers from misbehaving or overactive agents. Security
and compliance are also enhanced with automated policies by ensuring all
servers have the proper security agents, and by accelerating the rollout of new
security controls to protect against advanced threats.

"Monitoring
and service management are critical for maximizing availability, performance
and security in dynamic cloud and virtual environments," said Shimon
Hason, Intigua CEO and co-founder. "With
Intigua, IBM customers can continue using their favorite management solutions
such as ITM with dramatically-increased flexibility, enabling them to deploy or
upgrade management software in hours rather than months."
