Command Center Overview Michael Cole Corporate Manager, Network Engineering
Command Center Objective Key Command Center Objective The overall objective of the Command Center is to have a proactive and Collaborative functional monitoring and support center with SME capabilities. A consolidated group for which Event and Incident Management can reduce MTTD, MTTR, impact to the Business and Resolve 90% of tickets within CC. 9 Information Systems
Command Center Scope Hours of Operation: Monday – Friday 8: 30 AM to 5 PM 5: 01 PM to 8: 29 AM and weekends/holidays – Support groups follow their escalation procedure to On-Call Scope: § Monitor the IS supporting infrastructure and a few applications (Exchange, AD, DNS/DHCP & Vo. IP) § § Perform ITIL Event and Incident Management § § § Neteng, Net. Sec, Telecom, Server, SQL and Storage infrastructure Resolution of all Incidents (SD and Monitoring Alerts) for Net. Eng, Net. Sec, Server and Telecom groups Piloting Problem Management Support Knowledge Management Support Change Management Provide Continual Service Improvement (CSI) Not in Scope: § § Not a Service Desk Ownership of Major Incident Process Service Requests Applications not being monitored by Command Center – i. e.

Command Center Overview § People § 4 permanent resources from Net. Eng and Server teams – Resources availability § § Server – 6: 30 AM to 6: 00 PM and Net. Eng – 7 AM to 5: 00 PM Processes § § P 1 and PCC SD tickets paged to CC – Server only – Net. Eng and Telecom coming soon Critical and Proactive Alerts are prioritized and addressed immediately Implemented Command Center Priorities and SLOs – baseline MTTD & MTTR Number of tickets created/worked increased by 161% (Average) (FY 2015 Q 1 to 3) § Growth as a result of increased number of devices monitored and Incidents from SD § Freeing up support teams to focus on projects and high-value tasks § § CC Escalation to outside support groups decreased by approx. 50% Increased cross communication with external groups – onboarding process Onboarding in progress for SAN, PEC, VBLOCK and Nagios Tools § Monitored devices increased in SMARTS, SRM and SCOM § § § 11 Information Systems Servers, SAN, Routers and Switches – 6, 600 Phones – 5, 000 40, 348 8, 850 Monitoring enhanced for § SAN, PEC, VBLOCK, Telecom, Net. Eng and Wireless § Onboarding in progress for SAN, PEC, VBLOCK and Nagios Command Center and outside support groups are leveraging consolidated alerts consoles Number of non-actionable alerts removed as result of CC monitoring and feedback – WIP
Total Tickets Worked Number of tickets created/worked increased – 161% (Average) 12 Information Systems
Total tickets – 2014 and 2015 FY 2014/15 – Q 1 & 2 Total Tickets ** Total Tickets by Function ** 13 Information Systems
Q 1 & 2 – Monthly Tickets FY 2014/15 – Q 1 & 2 Monthly Total Tickets ** Total Tickets by Command Center and Escalated by Service Desk ** 14 Information Systems
Command Center Escalations FY 2015 – Oct to June Escalations ** Objective is to resolve 90% of the tickets within Command Center ** - Typical groups tickets escalated to – Citrix and Exchange, …. - Warm Transfer process is followed for escalated Service Impacting Incidents 15 Information Systems
Command Center Metrics – Past Method FY 2015 – Q 1 & 2 Monthly MTTD & MTTR ** Objective is to meet MTTD & MTTR SLOs ** - The MTTD and MTTR are during Command Center operational hours – 8: 30 AM to 5: 00 PM - MTTD and MTTR are related to the total number of tickets worked by Command Center. Currently, we see an increase in Total Tickets, MTTD and MTTR from efforts to clean up older/lower priority alerts. 16 Information Systems
Command Center SLO Metrics Command Center – MTTD & MTTR by Priority and SLOs ** Objective is to meet MTTD & MTTR SLOs ** 17 Information Systems Breaches in SLAs will be identified by a red background.
Sample Command Center Metrics Weekly Tickets – MTTD & MTTR by Priority ** Objective is to meet MTTD & MTTR SLOs** MTTD 18 Breaches in SLOs will be identified by a red background. Information Systems MTTR
Challenges § Command Center § SD quality of tickets & misclassifications – Lack of actionable information – Increases MTTR § Teams are using varied support models and processes – Impacting escalations, communication, access, etc. § Maintenance mode not being used – wasting resources time § Device status validations after ISM – needs improvement § Telecom skill-sets and monitoring not consistent to CC requirements § Removing non-actionable alerts are taking longer than expected § Engaging Command Center and Monitoring Tools on new initiatives and project initiation § Monitoring and CC onboarding are impacted § Onboarding other technologies taking longer – e. g. SAN, VBLOCK § Challenging to identify, configure, and work (KB) actionable alerts § No 24 x 7 coverage – results in raising MTTD and MTTR § Monitoring Tools § § 19 Information Systems Improvements/Enhancements stalled or taking longer as a result of limited resources Number of Alerts impacting SMARTS availability Onboarding technologies/tools taking longer – PEC, SAN, VBLOCK and Nagios Monitoring Tools team not engaged during project initiation
