About IBM Tivoli

Tivoli Software is the systems management brand of the IBM Software Group. IBM purchased Austin-based Tivoli Systems, Inc. on March 4, 1996 and allowed existing executive management to operate Tivoli as a wholly owned subsidiary in the Software Group. In addition to Tivoli, this IBM division includes Web Sphere, Information Management, Lotus Software and Rational Software. All are now part of IBM Software Group.
In August 2006, IBM acquired MRO Software, intending to add them to the Tivoli division. In March 2008, IBM added Accentuate to Tivoli.
Tivoli's early marketing taglines included "Making Client/Server Work" and "The Power to Manage, Anything Anywhere." The current slogan is "Intelligent management software for the on demand world." Their product lines cover security, storage, monitoring and configuration. Some of Tivoli's best-known products are Tivoli Configuration and Change Management Database, Netcool/OMNIbus, Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC), Tivoli Monitoring (ITM, from v6.1 based on IBM OMEGAMON), IBM Tivoli Network Manager (ITNM), Tivoli Net View, Tivoli Storage Manager (formerly IBM's Adstar Distributed Storage Manager), Tivoli Identity Manager (formerly Access360), Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, Tivoli Workload Scheduler (TWS) (formerly Unison Maestro), and Tivoli Access Manager.
Tivoli is divided into several pillars including: Service Management (which encompasses Change Management), Storage, Security, Performance Automation, Business Automation, and Network Management. Each pillar includes software specifically designed to improve IT processes.
The Storage portfolio contains Tivoli Storage Manager, which is one of the most widely used applications for backup, disaster recovery and information lifecycle management. It is notable for its use of a relational database that allows for progressive back up forever, reclamation and collocation functionalities.
Tivoli products are handled by IBM offices around the world. Major offices for Tivoli sales, development and support are located in Austin, TX; Raleigh, NC; San Jose, CA; Tucson, AZ; Atlanta, GA; Markham, ON; Greenville, SC; Staines, Great Britain; Kraków, Poland; Rome, Italy; Pune, India; and Singapore.
