Automated Configuration Management

In the past few years, virtualization has been a catalyst for data center transformation by reducing capex. In the face of the resulting technical and management complexities, automated management is introduced to further optimize opex and business agility. 　　Automation management (automated provisioning) is one of the important features of cloud computing, which defines self-service service request, quasi real-time deployment, dynamic and granular scalability. Many organizations found that the complexity of their data centers increased rapidly as the size and type of information increased rapidly. WEB services and composite should ...

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 ...

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. ...

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. ...

Editor's note: Management is an important guarantee for IT system benign operation, different IT equipment has its own management system. In particular, large-scale data centers, must be centralized management system to run the management of computing, storage, network and other equipment to be able to quickly respond to and deal with data center business changes, abnormal events, continuous optimization. In the "IP Navigator" to the period of the article has focused on "data center management", but most of the focus on "network-centric" management, this article will be magnified to the entire cloud computing environment in the data center, the three kinds of operation and management model of the comparative analysis. Traditional number ...

Due to the requirements of the cloud computing flexibility, flexible and rapid expansion, reduce the transport ...

In the field of telecommunications and it, a complete system consists of various kinds of basic physical resources and software resources, the basic physical resources provide computing, storage, network and other hardware capabilities, and all kinds of software constitute a variety of colorful applications. 　　These applications are developed by different manufacturers, based on different operating system platforms, using different software architectures, with different deployment patterns, the application of diversification will inevitably bring the complexity of software management. The software management described in this paper mainly refers to the lifecycle management of the software in the field, including the release of software, configuration management, distribution and deployment, patch management 、...

As data centers, Grid computing, supercomputing, cloud computing and other technologies and concepts rise, IT industry is also moving towards business model, technology architecture to management operations and other aspects of the direction of change. At the same time, cloud management technology has gradually entered our vision, the topic of cloud management also more and more hot. In terms of user requirements, technical features and functional composition, cloud management is mainly the management of data centers. The management focuses on the integration of key resources and business, visualization and virtualization, while Cloud management focuses on the allocation of resources on demand and the charging operation of the cloud.
