Build manageability into your solutions
Seamlessly enable your solutions with manageability. The IBM® Build to Manage™ Toolkits enable developers, ISVs, and solution providers to apply management standards rapidly, from within existing development platforms, without having to become experts in operations [PDF].  More

The IBM Build to Manage family of toolkits enables you to:

  • Make high availability a standard feature. Easily instrument your composite applications with manageability features. The toolkits help your operational management tools consistently deploy, configure, and monitor the health of your application, resulting in minimal interruption.
  • Reduce troubleshooting time later -- for your customer and your support staff. Building manageability into your solutions on the front end cuts support needs.
  • Build and test your solutions. The toolkits are packaged with a variety of documentation, tutorials, technology, and examples.
