Automated Configuration Management Tools

Companies are expanding these virtualized servers to form private clouds, public clouds (like Amazon's Ec2/aws or Gogrid) or hybrid cloud services (a combination of private and public clouds). Applications, desktops, and server virtualization have evolved over the past few years as a result of their ease and cost savings. The configuration and ongoing management of these services poses some challenges.  These challenges are also identified as some solutions are available on the market, providing information for managers who make decisions about cloud services to develop informed choice requirements. ...

A day ago by the BMC Software Cloud Management technology conference held in Shanghai, the experts will be on the cloud computing vision, cloud computing applications, cloud management, Business Services Management (BSM) and other topics to launch a fascinating discussion. The following is a wonderful speech by the BMC China Senior Software Advisor, Mr. Chui: In fact, compared to the service portal or monitoring tools, automation in the cloud is a disadvantage, because automation technology is hidden behind the cloud computing platform, to the customer that is not see the service interface, Operators are also unable to see the very beautiful monitoring interface. But it's like when people pick cars ...

One of the features of cloud computing is the ability to move applications from one processor environment to another. This feature requires a target operating system to receive it before moving the application. Wouldn't it be nice if you could automate the installation of a new operating system? A well-known feature of the intel™ architecture system is the ability to install Linux automatically. However, installing Linux automatically is a tricky issue for System P or IBM power BAE using the hardware management console. This article discusses the solution of ...

Service providers, start-ups, integrators, and veteran vendors provide a wealth of management tools. But companies may not be prepared to use complex choreography and automation systems. Industry analysts and cloud integration experts say there are no restrictions on the data and types of tools that help enterprise it fully adapt to the cloud. At present, users have many tools to choose from, some tools can assist IT department for virtual machine configuration management, some tools can help enterprises to migrate local business applications to the cloud, some tools can help to orchestrate cloud services, and provide monitoring services across multiple clouds. In addition, the user can also choose Xu ...

Originally, in our minds, although there are automated deployment tools that are good for deploying applications, they are not necessarily necessary. But now, as the organization has seen the benefits of automation, the idea is changing. Experts say that in fact, the Automated Application Deployment tool is a necessary tool in a hosted application in the cloud. The tools used for local deployment do not necessarily apply to cloud deployments, and to that end, we need to consider what tools the organization's leaders should consider when making decisions that are hosted locally or in the cloud. A lot of things will not be taken seriously unless you are prepared to ...

In the data center lifecycle, data center operation and Management is the last and longest period in the data center life cycle. Data center operation and Maintenance management is: In order to provide information system services to meet the requirements, and the information system services related to the data center of the various management objects of the planning, organization, coordination and control, is the information system services related to all management work. 　　 Data center operation and maintenance management mainly shoulder the following important goals: compliance, availability, economy, service and other four goals. ...

Open source technology has begun to deeply affect the world of cloud computing. There are two main reasons: first, open source software is essentially free, and it is generally not affected by proprietary software copyright models. 　　Many proprietary software vendors, such as Microsoft and Oracle, are trying to maintain outdated and expensive license patterns, even though this pattern has hampered the flexibility of virtualization and cloud computing. Conversely, some open source tools are having a huge impact on the public cloud: Linux and Xen, for example. In addition, there are some other important open source tools also for users ...

When cloud computing has just been known, most people hear about public clouds. This is mainly because the public cloud service providers are some of the industry's big companies, such as Google, Amazon and so on. By the time people actually started to let cloud computing fall to the ground, the focus was on private clouds. This is because the data security, controllability and other aspects of consideration, the enterprise is more willing to choose private cloud. 　　In view of this, it is necessary to understand how to deploy a private cloud. In general, private cloud construction involves implementing virtualization, deploying automated tools, developing new processes, and managing systems, among others, although someone ...

This article describes in detail how to deploy and configure ibm®spss®collaboration and deployment Services in a clustered environment. Ibm®spss®collaboration and Deployment Services Repository can be deployed not only on a stand-alone environment, but also on the cluster's application server, where the same is deployed on each application server in a clustered environment.
