IBM Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager helps you understand configurations, map applications and changes, and address compliance measures.

• Visualize interdependencies and relationships between applications, computer systems and network devices through application mapping and agentless, credential-free discovery capabilities
• Take advantage of integration with other Tivoli® operational management products such as IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager, IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager, IBM Tivoli Monitoring Services, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA and many more
• Learn how configuration items are configured and changing over time by capturing the configuration of each CI, tracking changes to it and providing analytics to report on the history of configuration changes
• Determine if configurations comply with your policies by comparing discovered configurations to a “reference master” to reveal policy violations
• Use industry-standard secure protocols in the discovery process to ensure sensitive data is accessible only by authorized access
• Use configurable discovery profiles and a phased-in discovery process to control where users discover, what they discover and how deep they go, from lightweight, credential-free discovery up to agentless deep-dive discovery
• Rapidly deploy and share application maps across operational management products, teams and processes through open APIs, an extensible model, pluggable sensor framework and software development tools
