Resources

Use Tivoli Monitoring on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Tivoli Monitoring software helps you optimize IT infrastructure performance and availability. Use this system monitoring software to manage operating systems, databases and servers in distributed and host environments.

Tivoli Monitoring Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is available to use on Amazon EC2 at an hourly rate. Amazon EC2 running Tivoli Monitoring offers a low-cost, pay-as-you-go model with no long-term commitments and no minimum fees.

See the Amazon EC2 Running IBM page for more information on pricing and other service details.

To use the Tivoli Monitoring AMI, you'll need an Amazon account. If you don't have one, you can create it as part of the registration process.

The Tivoli Monitoring AMI is available in three different editions. The editions are based on the number of virtual computing cores being monitored, which will consist of the number of AMI instances you would like to monitor multiplied by the number of virtual computing cores associated with those AMI instances. The Tivoli Monitoring AMI itself will run on either Small or High-CPU Medium 32-bit AMI instance types. Find more information about Amazon Machine Image instance types on Amazon.

To register with Amazon and start using the production-ready AMI for Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.1, select the number of VCPUs you plan to monitor:

	Up to 50 VCPUs
	Up to 200 VCPUs
	Up to 600 VCPUs
