The software helps you connect people, devices, applications and systems anywhere at any time.

Netcool Network Management features:

  • One integrated set of network management tools that provides network discovery, monitoring, event management and configuration.
  • Centralized visibility and reporting that encompasses complex, dispersed network environments.
  • Network discovery and monitoring that can improve network availability and efficiencies.
  • Event and fault management that can help troubleshoot network issues and resolve them quickly.
  • Network configuration capabilities that support efficient deployment and change management.

One integrated set of network management tools

  • Provides near real-time, centralized monitoring of complex networks and technology domains with scalability that can exceed millions of events per day.
  • Delivers detailed visibility into enterprise network operations, including cloud-based services that use heterogeneous infrastructures and physical networks.
  • Collects network data from business applications, network devices, internet protocols, security devices and other data sources for centralized management.
  • Supports data exchange and in-context navigation among Netcool/OMNIbus, Tivoli Network Manager and Tivoli Netcool Configuration Manager.
  • Integrates with operating support systems (OSS) and other mission-critical workflow applications to handle complex network operations.

Centralized visibility and reporting

  • Offers an intuitive, role-based web portal that delivers network monitoring and management information from a single location.
  • Consolidates data from varied sources into web-based dashboards with customizable displays of events, service views and operational indicators.
  • Provides management reports that include cross-domain, multivendor events and detailed network device information.
  • Delivers centralized visualization and reporting of current and historical data from IBM and third-party sources.

Network discovery and monitoring

  • Delivers near real-time information on network connectivity, availability, performance, usage and inventory.
  • Generates network maps automatically and updates maps with network changes without manual intervention.
  • Identifies bottlenecks and other network issues to enable faster resolution and help avoid outages.
  • Captures logical connectivity information including virtual private network (VPN), virtual local area network (VLAN), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) services.
  • Discovers devices and the physical port-to-port connectivity between them for more granular monitoring of network operations.

Event and fault management

  • Provides advanced correlation, automated diagnostics and root-cause analysis to help increase availability and performance.
  • Enables automated event correlation, isolation and resolution to help identify and resolve problems without manual intervention.
  • Identifies the causes of network downtime at the node and port levels to help reduce resolution times.
  • Shows event rate baselines, predictions and trends that can identify underlying problems and help you address issues proactively.

Network configuration capabilities

  • Automates the configuration and management of network devices for cloud-based services.
  • Provides automated features for change management, security control, provisioning, policy-based compliance and software upgrades.
  • Helps you manage a wide range of network devices, protocols, systems, business applications and security devices.
  • Lets administrators view configuration change data and compliance data alongside other network events to help stay informed of network changes.
