Identify Everything
If the names are unknown knowledge of the things also perishes

Naming Standards – Current Direction
– Several inconsistent namespaces
– Silo-ed fiefdoms of control and understanding (Heroes)
– Totally human processes
– No shared understanding
– Lack of agility
– No consistent abstraction model
– Results in - Operating Cost!

Identity
Ontology
Element Component of a device, which will not function without the device
Device Something physical which can be switched on/off
Host An instance of an OS (IOS, Unix, Windows, VMWARE ESX..)
File System A repository of organised state presented as files and directories.
Cluster n+1 hosts that increase availability for the instantiation of capabilities
Application A collection of program binaries to perform a specific function
Package Ability to perform designated activities to achieve specified results
Naming Standards – Current Direction
– Enterprise wide naming standard
– Encompassing all components
– Physical & Logical
– Consistent Rules
– Fixed format to enable automation
– Service names that are easily re-pointed
– Fixed relationships
– DNS sub-domains for location and environment
– By looking up DNS you can see what host or cluster a service is on
A-Record Element
A-Record Device
C-Name Management Interface
A-Record Host
A-Record Cluster
C-Name Service
OS Username
Package
OS Groupname
Application
OS Username is a member of OS Groupname
C-Names linked to relevant DNS A-Records
Suffix added for host management
Servicename and package identity name are the same
Worked Example
Naming Standards – ImplicationsImplications of not doing this
● Un-necessarily complex support and troubleshooting
● Un-necessary complexity in change events
● Inflexibility in the system linkages
● Many hands to do light work!
Implications of doing this
• Short term effort to syndicate this change (architecture)
• Short term effort to implement this change (mostly implementation teams)
• Long term efficiency benefits
• Long term system flexibility improvements
• Reduced inertia to change
• Decreased operating costs
• Better understanding of relationships

Classification of Data
Identity tells you whereClassify EventsReport on the Classifications Unclassified Events mapping
Federate Logging
Event ClassificationsHardware Hardware and environmental: Network Errors, Device
Up, Temperature
OS Virtualized OS resources: Paging Rate, CPU and Memory Usage, allocate swap/create processes
Module Code and Runtime : unhandled exception, malloc failure, unable to write to file
Data Capability level data:. null account, divide by zero, unable to find key, unable to find file
Session Component interaction: Couldn’t connect, unable to open ODBC, Session Dropped
Transaction Logical units of work: these are of monetary value or of regulatory interest
Security Exception event; seen across all classifications.
