Challenges

They had third party Cloud environment, Hyper-V, Exchange servers and Legacy servers

• The above said technology has cross platform like Windows and Linux.
• The existing monitoring tool works on platform based.

Result

SCOM uses a single interface which displays information related to state, health and performance of computer systems.
It gives alerts whenever a situation related to availability, performance, configuration or security is identified.

About The Client

About The Client

The company is based in Karlstad where offices, data centers, and operations centers for broadband and Internet access services are located. The organization has extensive experience of business-critical operation of servers, Internet access solutions and delivering hosting services including, colocation, managed hosting, Hosted Hyper-V, Elastic Cloud Server, Hosted Exchange, Cloud Online Backup, Virtualization, Server Solutions and Dedicated Servers.

 

It delivers its hosting services from a data center that ensures the following elements: redundant electrical connections, redundant diesel generators, redundant Internet connections, and redundant cooling systems.

Situation

Client has implemented many technologies on their Data center like Hypervisor, Legacy Servers, Hyper-V. But they don’t have proper monitoring tool to monitor these cross technology services.

Action

To overcome the above situations we have planned to implement the SCOM – System Center Operations Manager. This is a cross-platform data center management system for operating systems and hypervisors. It works with Microsoft Windows Server and Unix-based hosts.

 

This requires the Fresh high end dedicated server with Windows platform to install the SCOM services. On client side, we install the agent to connect to the server. This doesn’t require any reboot of the system. So it didn’t create any down time for the services. Once we installed all, need to authorize the agent and start the Monitoring.
