Features, advantages and benefits
| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Proactive Discovery capabilities | Receive messages from various sources, in real time, about configuration changes to the IT environment that impact relationships or attribute values of discovered resources | Faster time to resolution |
| Asynchronous Discovery | Credential free manual script discovery for systems where access is not allowed or where credentials are extremely difficult to obtain | Ensures that discovered data is accurate and business service views are current. |
| Enables multiple, concurrent discovery jobs to be supported on a single discovery server | Allows for targeted small scope refreshes in parallel to scheduled long running discoveries | Improves discovery efficiency and scalability |
| Offers integration with Tivoli Business Service Manager | Features new APIs and out-of-the-box configurations | Improve performance, scalability, and reduces latency |
|
Additional type of deployment for TADDM called Streaming Mode. Discovered data flows in parallel from multiple Discovery Servers to the Enterprise Database |
In streaming mode, the Enterprise Manager is used to view discovered data, topologies, reporting, and analytical information. Data is available as soon as it is discovered. |
Requires less hardware and resources and helps eliminate merging problems when consolidating discovery data. Improves performance and scalability. |
|
Offers a robust and extendable way to create, edit, and delete business applications, business service, and collections from a single point in the user interface. Uses Grouping Composer that gives users the ability to manage Business Applications in the TADDM Web Console |
Users have an easy way to view custom queries and their results in the discovery browser. It is no longer required to deploy descriptor files to the target servers. All rules will instead exist on the TADDM server. |
More flexibility, ease of use, and less maintenance when creating application descriptors |
| Extended storage reports for Tivoli Productivity Center discovered data | Allows you to see storage components, connections, and dependencies | Improve the availability of the services they deliver and help identify expensive pieces of hardware not being used |
