“Trains” - Architecture • Worldwide Facilities Management • Single Giant Focal point IT Operations Center • Control many individual systems operations • Manned 24x7 • Skilled Expertise • 22 WorldView client workstations • Single repository
Florida rep Backup rep Architecture - US Central Datacenter International IT resources
Workload Environment • Central MVS Systems • Own the schedule and direct work on NT and Unix • NT Servers (about 30) • Unix servers (initially 30 growing to >100)
”Trains" - The Challenges • Aim 1: Provide focal point monitoring of all systems, network components, applications and databases • Aim 2: Provide the ability for complete management and control of Unix systems from NT • Aim 3: Provide focal point workload control from MVS of NT and Unix
”Trains" - Considerations • No Unix skills to be required at central • Full control of systems must shift between any desired NT client • Resilience of the solution between primary and backup DSM/repository systems • Scalability, the ability to dynamically add and remove NT servers and Unix systems without major rework.
“Trains” Deployment • Primary and Backup TNG Repository at the Florida datacenter • DSMs deployed as required at remote Sites. Each DSM is connected to FL Rep • Enterprise Management as required on managed Servers. • Agent technology on Hosts/Servers managed by Site DSMs
FL-Rep FL-Rep DSM DSM Domain Domain Server Level Deployment • Agents on Hosts/Servers • DSM/s manage domains according to scale • Enterprise Management deployed on servers as required Server Site
“Trains” - The Solution • Aim 1:Provide management of whatever systems, network components, applications and databases the client requires... • WorldView Interfaces • Enterprise Management Disciplines • Agent Technology • Scaleable, Distributed Solution
“Trains” - The Solution • Aim 2:Provide the ability for complete management and control of Unix systems from NT... • Unix Events may be managed and controlled from central NT locations • Agent Technology on end-systems • Distributed State Machines & WorldView instrument the enterprise
“Trains” - The Solution • Aim 3: Provide focal point workload control from MVS of NT and Unix… • 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 CA7 on MVS • All workload status available on NT workstation
“Trains” - Future Enhancements • Expand to >100 Unix boxes • Implement USD/AMO
