But your visibility requirements are unique depending on your industry, architectures, and the ways you use TIBCO technologies.

Distributed Monitoring System – The Pain

• Launch of new store operations system at 4,000 stores, yet limited visibility into critical business applications at each store– Significant revenue impact if new system didn’t work– Did not plan for troubleshooting at the store level

• Stores needed to coordinate flawlessly with central business applications and data centers

• Store Operations Team blind to problems with TIBCO applications at an individual store until the store calls

• Lack of visibility into store performance has a direct impact on customers

• Regional traffic-light map of all states and sub-regions with drill down to TIBCO infrastructure at individual stores

• EMS and BW monitors at each store send performance data to central EMS and BW monitors for custom views and alerts

• Central access to historical trends signals when something is not normal

WebLogic and Coherence

• Had to really dig to identify the source of a problem

• Lack of visibility into history of CIs
