1.1 Introducing the JP1/IM series
The JP1/IM series is a family of core products for realizing integrated management of an IT system. The JP1/IM products centrally manage information about the system's myriad resources, and enable centralized monitoring and operation across the entire IT system.
The JP1/IM series links with a wide range of middleware, including other JP1 products which provide job management and availability management functionality. Using JP1/IM, integrated system management can be realized through configuration and operations management on a system-wide basis.
The JP1/IM series optimizes system management by managing the configuration information created while planning and building the system, and the operational information generated during system operation. By providing a core platform for system management, JP1/IM offers full support for the entire workflow - from designing and building the system, through operation, redesign, and rebuild.
