“Trains” Case Study 1

“Trains” - Architecture Worldwide Facilities Management n Single Giant Focal point IT Operations Center n – – – Control many individual systems operations Manned 24 x 7 Skilled Expertise 22 World. View client workstations n Single repository n 2

Architecture - US Central Datacenter Florida rep International IT resources Backup rep 3

Workload Environment n Central MVS Systems – Own the schedule and direct work on NT and Unix NT Servers (about 30) n Unix servers (initially 30 growing to >100) n 4

”Trains" - The Challenges Aim 1: Provide focal point monitoring of all systems, network components, applications and databases n Aim 2: Provide the ability for complete management and control of Unix systems from NT n Aim 3: Provide focal point workload control from MVS of NT and Unix n 5

”Trains" - Considerations No Unix skills to be required at central n Full control of systems must shift between any desired NT client n Resilience of the solution between primary and backup DSM/repository systems n Scalability, the ability to dynamically add and remove NT servers and Unix systems without major rework. n 6

“Trains” Deployment Primary and Backup TNG Repository at the Florida datacenter n DSMs deployed as required at remote Sites. Each DSM is connected to FL Rep n Enterprise Management as required on managed Servers. n Agent technology on Hosts/Servers managed by Site DSMs n 7

Server Level Deployment Agents on Hosts/Servers n DSM/s manage domains according to scale n Enterprise Management deployed on servers as required n FL-Rep Server Site FL-Rep DSM Domain 8

“Trains” - The Solution n q q Aim 1: Provide management of whatever systems, network components, applications and databases the client requires. . . World. View Interfaces Enterprise Management Disciplines Agent Technology Scaleable, Distributed Solution 9

“Trains” - The Solution n Aim 2: Provide the ability for complete management and control of Unix systems from NT. . . q q q Unix Events may be managed and controlled from central NT locations Agent Technology on end-systems Distributed State Machines & World. View instrument the enterprise 10

“Trains” - The Solution n Aim 3: Provide focal point workload control from MVS of NT and Unix… n Workload Agents on NT and Unix can be driven from MVS (as well as NT and Unix) MVS remote NT/Unix job status reported back to CA 7 on MVS All workload status available on NT workstation n n 11
