System Management Architecture

Systems management architecture

The growth of distributed information technology systems has created information systems that are more powerful and more complex to manage. SunIntegration can help you standardize and simplify your systems management practices to not only lower your costs but also provide higher responsiveness, availability, and serviceability of your information systems. We can show you how to use distributed systems to significantly lower your total costs of system ownership by eliminating much of the complexity of distributed, heterogeneous systems. Software distribution, data backups, performance monitoring, and configuration management are just a few of the areas enabled by systems management. Increasing effectiveness in these areas provides competitive advantage for your enterprise.

Focused project

SunIntegration's systems management architecture service is a two-to four-week, participative, highly focused evaluation and plan for development of new processes for your information systems staff. The service examines industry-leading systems management standards, tools, and processes and designs a suite of systems management practices to meet your organization's needs. These practices will result in better utilization of resources, improved application performance, and higher end-user and administrator productivity. Our approach will also remove barriers to deployment of open systems for commercial, "mission-critical" applications. The resulting systems management architecture opens the door to a more detailed definition of management areas such as high availability and production acceptance.

Questions to be answered

Upon completion, the Systems Management Architecture service will clearly address the following issues:

How can you reduce system management costs while increasing service?
How do you manage decentralized systems with centralized practices?
How do you meet the needs of developers, system administrators, and end users?
What is your current systems management system?
How should you allocate your systems resources most effectively to end users?
What tools can you use to help manage your systems?
