The Partnership: Unify and Tivoli Client/server architectures provide a rich medium for addressing business requirements and challenges. However, the lack of manageability in today's client/server applications leads to complex and time-consuming problems for the enterprise. An intricate and complicated enterprise computing environment has to be managed before you can profit from the flexibility and adaptability of distributed client/server systems. In answer to this challenge, Unify and Tivoli now offer complete open solutions to application management for distributed client/server environments. With the transparent integration of Unify and Tivoli products, you can enjoy the productive and time-saving benefits of a distributed environment for both packaged and in-house applications.
"Unify is helping to set the agenda for applications management in client/server development tools."	The Solution Unify VISION and AppMan together provide a development environment for writing mission critical enterprise applications with built-in application control. Transparent integration to Tivoli's systems management products allows organizations to regain control of their entire distributed client/server environment.

"We are excited about working with Unify. Our collective goal is to provide an automated approach to managing applications right from the development stage through to the systems management stage."	Specifically, Unify's AppMan agents collect events from VISION applications and communicate them to the Tivoli/Enterprise Console. This allows system administrators to easily view application specific information such as "application X out of memory on node Y," taking the detective work out of system administration, and allowing them to focus on fixing problems rather than spending the time finding them.
