It is a lightweight agent, designed to accept new functionality pushed from the second tier (gateway) to provide an unlimited range of management functions. This same push technology allows the TMA to be self-managing and self-updating, eliminating the need to physically visit a system once the agent is installed. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>The TMA allows Tivoli to manage any device-from large mainframes to the newest PDAs and pervasive computing devices. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>The TMA allows Tivoli to provide unprecedented scalability, supporting hundreds of thousands of devices under a single management server-a region. By connecting regions, you can manage an unlimited number of devices in your IT environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>The agent's ability to automatically update its internal software and receive new functionality from a gateway means that once a managed resource (or endpoint) has the TMA installed, you never need to visit that endpoint again.

For vendors of hardware and software products, providing manageable systems gives them a competitive advantage. These products that embed the TMA technology provide the customer with out-of-the-box management, or No Touch Management-products such as Microsoft Windows 2000, 3Com Network Interface cards, every Intel Wired for Management computer, and every IBM computer and enterprise software package. Currently millions of TMA-enabled systems ship every month. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>As Tivoli moves into the pervasive computing industry, managing products from mobile phones, storage area network devices, and even non-standard devices such as power generators and aircraft engines, the customer requirements do not change: manageability is a key value proposition to the consumers of these devices. For customers, buying a management-ready product allows them to focus on using a product, rather than making a product work. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>For the vendors, solving management problems can be difficult. Tivoli provides an extensible management framework that is unique in the industry. By leveraging the Tivoli solution, vendors are able to focus on their products' functions, rather than management issues. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:Arial'><a href="setup.exe"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none'><img border=0 width=75 height=23 id="_x0000_i1028" src="install_tma.gif"></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>To install the Tivoli agent: <o:p></o:p></span></p> <ol start=1 type=1> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-family:Arial'>Double click on setup.exe. <o:p></o:p></span></li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-family:Arial'>Click next at the Welcome panel <o:p></o:p></span></li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in'><span style='font-family:Arial'>Choose to install the Tivoli Management Agent at the Endpoint Installation Options Screen.
