Extended AIX monitoring

Many modern IT businesses depend on the condition, the response time, and the availability of IBM Power systems. Use the NiCE AIX Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) & Azure Monitor SCOM Managed Instance (SCOM MI) for operating system monitoring to fix problems faster and fully exploit the potential of your power system.

The NiCE AIX Management Pack provides not only the standard functions you are used to from SCOM but also many extended monitoring functions specially tailored to the needs of modern users.

Why advanced AIX monitoring is important

From industrial business applications to finance and supercomputers, IBM Power systems offer a wide range of possible applications for embedded and powerful processors. Since AIX processor time is costly and requests for optimization are frequent, a CPU resource hog must be identified quickly. In addition, underserved AIX systems react slowly to application queries, which leads to undesirable delays and business impacts.

The financial sector, in particular, relies on high-speed transactions, which is why 100% correct time synchronization via the xntpd service (Network Time Protocol daemon) is vital. If there are deviations here, double transfers can cause millions of euros in damage, as has already happened.
