This

component

determines

the

resource

requirements

of

each

application,

and

identifies

trends

and

peaks

in

resource

use.

Each

manager

This

component

receives

requirements

for

servers

or

network

devices

from

all

the

objective

analyzers,

and

manages

the

overall

optimization.

It

has

two

primary

responsibilities:

making

optimal

resource

allocation

decisions,

and

maintaining

a

stable

application

infrastructure.

By

considering

the

deployment

engine

The

deployment

engine

is

responsible

for

automated

provisioning.

It

creates,

stores,

and

runs

workflows

and

communicates

their

success

or

failure

in

performing

an

operation.

Workflows

can

be

triggered

by

commands

from

an

administrator,

by

external

tools

that

send

SOAP

commands

to

Tivoli

Intelligent

Orchestrator,

or

by

recommendations

from

the

engine.

automation

packages

An

automation

package

is

a

collection

of

workflows,

scripts,

and

other

commands

and

tools

that

apply

to

the

operation

of

a

specific

type

of

software

component

or

a

physical

The

deployment

engine

manages

the

deployment

of

workflows

and

associated

workflow

components

in

an

automation

package.

discovery

A

discovery

technology

is

an

application

that

performs

configuration

detection.

For

example

Tivoli

NetView

can

discover

new

hardware

that

is

added

to

the

data

center

and

is

not

defined

in

the

data

center

model.

For

hardware

that

is

already

defined

in

the

data

center

model,

it

can

also

identify

configuration

management

interface

Tivoli

Intelligent

Orchestrator

has

two

management

interfaces:

a

Web

interface,

and

a

command-line

interface.

The

Web

interface

provides

a

graphical

representation

of

the

data

center,

includes

wizards

to

simplify

configuration,

and

offers

features

such

as

reporting

and

task

status

monitoring

that

are

not

available

from

the

command-line

interface.

The

command-line

interface

provides

access

to

Tivoli

Intelligent

Orchestrator

features

with

SOAP.

Administrators

have

the

flexibility

to

perform

tasks

such

as

creating

scripts

that

run

specific

SOAP

commands

or

setting

up

external

tools

to

send

SOAP

commands

in

response

to

an

event.
