- Integrated ITIL® Capacity Management and modeling
- Advanced network and systems management
Productivity benefits are available from your existing systems management framework without the need to undergo further implementation effort on agent technology.
Many organizations have spent considerable time and effort implementing a high quality systems management environment to ensure availability and performance of their business critical systems using CA Unicenter NSM.
Existing investment in Unicenter NSM is enhanced through feeding data from Unicenter Agents into Athene’s market-leading capacity analysis, reporting and modeling software.
Within the Unicenter NSM Performance Data Grid, data is captured from target nodes running a variety of operating systems such as Windows, UNIX and Linux by an Historical Performance Agent (HPA). Captured data is concentrated into Distributed State Machines (DSM) or a Management Database (MDB) for storage. Data desired for use within Athene is extracted from either DSM or MDB using standard Unicenter NSM utilities.
Using its integral Scheduler, Athene automatically looks at the location where the output from the Unicenter extract utility is stored. When data is present, Athene imports that data and stores it within the Capacity Database (CDB). Once in the CDB, data is available to Athene’s range of Capacity Management applications for modeling, reporting and analysis as appropriate.
