IBM Performance Optimization Toolkit (IPOT) 6.1.2 Released!
After a long several months, we just released our latest update to the IBM Performance Optimization Toolkit (IPOT). I have blogged about this toolkit before and you can read that article here.
You may be amused by the name IPOT, however, I think its a cool name! I found it even funnier that one of my development machines was named “smokey” at one point.
Anyways, to the point. IPOT 6.1.2 now tightly integrates with Rational Performance Tester (RPT) 6.1.2 to allow customers to leverage the performance and resource monitoring data collected by the following Tivoli products:
- IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance (TMTP)
- IBM Tivoli Composite Application Management for WebSphere (ITCAM WebSphere)
- IBM Tivoli Composite Application Management for Response Time Tracking (ITCAM RTT)
- IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) server
In addition, we support the following platforms:
- Windows
- AIX
- Linux
- HP/UX
- Solaris
This new release really brings new meaning to the integration of data between the Rational and Tivoli brands as we are bringing resource monitoring (or statistical) data into the testing workbench. Using this information provides cohesive methods of determining and isolating problems in a large enterprise environment, and can truely save people time and money at the end of the day.
Something new for this release is a forum on the developerWorks website to let customers post questions and comments about IPOT. This mechanism will really help us make IPOT even better in the future. I like to call it the IPOT Online Product Team !
