IBM unveils Tivoli systems management software

IBM today announced three new Tivoli systems management software products, plus the Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database, which federates IT information across multiple databases -- allowing IT administrators to track a single application running on a dozen servers.

The database and the three software products are shipping with limited availability this summer, said Bob Madey, vice president of strategy and market management for IBM's Tivoli division. Pricing for the software hasn't been announced.

The new IBM Tivoli Process Managers -- IBM Tivoli Change and Release Management, IBM Tivoli Availability Management and IBM Tivoli Information Lifecycle Management -- are designed to coordinate application deployments across software, hardware, storage and network devices, Madey said.

Tivoli competes against systems management products from Hewlett-Packard Co., Computer Associates International Inc., BMC Software Inc. and a host of other smaller vendors.

IBM Tivoli部门的副总裁Bob Madey说，这些产品将会在今年夏天上市，但是目前，具体产品的定价策略还没有出来。

新的IBM Tivoli Process Managers -- IBM Tivoli Change ，Release Management, IBM Tivoli Availability Management 和IBM Tivoli Information Lifecycle Management软件使为了跨软件平台，硬件平台，存储和网络设备的目的设计的。

并且这款产品的发布也是为了应对HP公司，Computer Associates International公司，BMC公司和一系列其他的小公司的竞争。
