From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tivoli Software
encompasses a set of products originally developed by
Tivoli Systems Inc
.
IBM
bought the company and ran the operation as its Tivoli Software division. Additional products were acquired and run under the Tivoli portfolio brand. IBM began phasing out use of the Tivoli brand in 2013 and by 2016 had moved the portfolio products into a revised and rebranded hierarchy.

Tivoli Systems Inc.
was founded in
Austin
,
Texas
in 1989 by
Bob Fabbio
[3]
and quickly joined by Peter Valdes, Todd Smith and Steve Marcie; all were former
IBM
employees.
[4]
Bob Fabbio in an interview indicated the purpose was to provide systems management on systems from a diverse set of vendors while at IBM he had been directed to focus on IBM products only.
[5]
As an
independent software vendor
Tivoli Systems developed and sold Tivoli Management Environment (TME) "
systems management
"
software
and
services
. The then CEO
Frank Moss
saw the company listed on
NASDAQ
in March 1995
[6]
and the subsequent merger into IBM in 1996.
[7]
At the start of 2002, Tivoli Systems Inc, became
Tivoli Software
, a brand within IBM.
[8]
IBM initially grew the software portfolio under the Tivoli brand through
development
and
acquisition
.
[9]
[4]
There are some thoughts this may have resulted in the brand containing a large set of overlapping and marginal products
[4]
In April 2013 IBM renamed "Tivoli Software" Division to "
Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure
".
[1]
[10]
IBM moved away from the Tivoli brand as exemplified by the explicit rebranding of Tivoli Storage Manager to IBM Spectrum Protect
[11]
and the renaming of IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler to IBM Workload Scheduler as of release 9.3.
[12]
Market position
[
edit
]
According to IT analyst research firm
Gartner
, Inc., IBM in 2012 owned the largest share of the "IT Operations Management" software market, with an 18%
market share
.
[13]
IBM was also the leading provider of
Enterprise Asset Management
software, for the 7th consecutive year, according to
ARC Advisory Group
, a research analyst firm for industry and infrastructure.

Tivoli Management Framework
[
edit
]
Tivoli Management Framework
(TMF) is a
CORBA
-based
systems
and
network management
framework. It allows administrators to manage large numbers of remote locations or devices. In the early years of TMF's lifecycle it was a pre-requisite to several other key Tivoli components. With IBM's adoption and promotion of other non-TMF based products, such as
Micromuse
Netcool Omnibus in February 2006
[17]
and the increasing general acceptance of
Secure Shell
in preference to CORBA meant TMF entered the latter stages of
product lifecycle
. The final independent release version of TMF was 4.1.1 with release 4.3.1 supplied with and to Tivoli Configuration Manager 4.3.1 in 2008.
