Netcool/OMNIbus Micromuse's flagship application provides realtime business and service assurance. As the cornerstone of the Netcool suite, it collects and consolidates events and alarms from more than 1000 IT environments in realtime - and presents this information to IT executives and operations personnel in an intuitive, graphical console. Netcool/OMNIbus provides realtime monitoring, management, and event de-duplication and helps organizations proactively manage their IT infrastructures to ensure continuous uptime of business services and applications. Environments supported by Netcool/OMNIbus include business applications, Windows and UNIX systems, data switches, voice switches, IP routers, frameworks and others.

The Netcool ObjectServer™, the core component of Netcool/OMNIbus, is a high-speed memory resident database that collects event information from throughout the infrastructure. Netcool Probes & Monitors™ collect event messages from throughout the IT infrastructure and forward them to the Netcool ObjectServer for consolidation, filtering, de-duplication, suppression, and analysis.

The Netcool suite also provides Executive Dashboards that allow you to customize realtime views of operations and business services, based on geography, department, or supporting IT resources. Point-and-click interfaces allow you to address and prioritize the resolution of IT problems based upon their business or customer impact. Designed to meet the needs of both IT executives and operations personnel, the Netcool dashboards provide a 'birds-eye' view of services as well as detailed analysis of specific IT resources.

Netcool Probes & Monitors collect and consolidate data from over 1000 environments off-the-shelf . Netcool manages events at the device and system level while also testing service and application availability from the service user's perspective.

Netcool Gateways™ interface to third-party databases and applications that need to share event data interactively with the Netcool/OMNIbus realtime event database engine. Examples of gateway-supported environments include Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix, Remedy, Clarify (Amdocs), Vantive (PeopleSoft), Siebel, Metasolv,
