Integrated Monitoring Required in Virtualization/Server Integration


Complex Operations Management with the advance of Virtualization/Server Integration

Against the backdrop of cost reduction, server integration through virtualization has recently made great advances.

• System infrastructure by business unit

Existing system groups

Integrated infrastructure/virtualized

environment

• Promotion of virtualization • Promotion of infrastructure

integration

Server integration

The trend toward integrating all the IT resources of an entire enterprise into one management center is accelerating. In the enterprise data center, with further cost reduction as its aim, integration into a technology-driven virtualized environment has already started.


Common Customer Issues

Centrally manage the physical and virtual in mixed environments

• Servers, networks, and storage related to each business unit managed comprehensively

• When trouble occurs, quickly locate it and assess the extent of damage

Manage multi-vendor environments in an integrated way

• Manage various vendor’s products in a unified way• Integration without changing the existing environment

To manage integrated systems, the cross-systems that contain the multi-vendors must be managed centrally

Operational issues arising from virtualization/server integration:


The Solution Is Systemwalker Centric Manager

“Cross-system Visualization” that does not rely on various environments is achieved

Cross-system Central Management Central Management for Multi-vendor Environment

Visualization of error location and range of consequences

Visualization of the operational status of servers/networks/storage/

business units

Integrated monitoring through linkage with third party systems operations

management products


1. Cross-system Central Management

Error location and range of impact displayed on a common GUI screen

• The cross-system status cannot be seen

• The trouble location and impact range cannot be determined

• Display servers/networks/storage/ business units operational status on the same screen, at the same time

• Display the error location and visually indicate the range of impact

Servers/networks/storage/business units are monitored separately Common cross-system monitoring

2. Integrated Monitoring for Multi-vendor Environments

Integrating multi-vendor systems operations management products

• Various third party products are deployed, but they cannot be integrated.

• Integrated monitoring through linkage with various vendors’ systems operations management products

• Integrated monitoring is added to the existing environment

The operations management products used for respective

systems are different, and cannot be integrated

Install

1. Cross-system Monitoring

The operational status of servers, networks, storage, and applications are simultaneously monitored with one screen

Physical servers and virtual servers are monitored together

Agentless Monitoring is also supported

Link with third parties’ systems operations management software to achieve fully integrated monitoring regime(adaptor for linkage to third party systems distributed free)

Connectivity with previous versions is guaranteed

MainframeNetwork StorageServer Application

Agent-based/Agentless Monitoring

Integrated monitoring for various environment systems

Monitor entire systems in one screen


2. Agentless Monitoring

Installation of Systemwalker agent programs is not requiredServers on which agent programs cannot be installed can be monitoring targets(for example, 24-hour operational servers, servers whose configurations cannot be changed, old-type OS servers, etc.)Cross-platform environments in which there is a mix of different OS are also supportedHybrid configurations in which there is a mix of Agentless Monitoring and Agent Monitoring are also supportedMonitoring of Windows Azure Platform and Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform Powered by Windows Azure(*1) can be supported with Agentless Monitoring(*1) Cloud infrastructure provided by Fujitsu

Monitoring does not stop, Monitoring does not stop, even when systems are downeven when systems are down

Monitored server

No need to switch when one system is down

By mirroring the Operation Management Server, monitoring can still continue even if trouble occurs on one of the servers(Up to a quad configuration is possible)Systemwalker has comprehensive self-diagnostics to check its own operational statusEvent logs that are not sent by an a communication trouble are resent automatically after recovery

Both serversare notified

Backup without the systems Backup without the systems operations being stoppedoperations being stoppedThe monitored environment can be backed up while the Operation Management Server is still running

3. Continuous Monitoring

Monitoring continues on the other server

In 24-hour, non-stop monitoring, error events are guaranteed to be detected
