I don't think anyone posted this yet - Tivoli announced this week, two new
Storage Management products. IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager,(which
provides SRM functions like discovery of your storage environment, many
reporting tools etc)  and IBM Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager (which
provides real-time topology display, plus logical storage views and
reporting for your SAN environment). See
http://www.tivoli.com/news/press/pressreleases/en/2002/1007-storage-roi.html

                  for details.
Coincident with that, I have made available two draft redbooks for review
on the Redbooks website - one on each of these new software products.
See http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246886.pdf       for
Tivoli Storage Resource Manager
and
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246848.pdf        for Tivoli
SAN Manager.
Also, many of you have already downloaded the "Disaster Recovery Strategies
withTivoli Storage Management" draft redbook. This is now finalized as a
redbook. Check it out at
