Overview

With the continuous intensive integration of data centers, the prototype of cloud computing and even enterprise private clouds has begun to take shape, and the operation and maintenance pressure and workload of IT management departments are increasing day by day. Due to the complex IT infrastructure structure and the large number of devices, the existence of multi-platform and multi-vendor increases the difficulty of management, which eventually leads to a surge in the workload of daily operation and maintenance, while the growth of the number of operation and maintenance personnel is far lower than that of equipment and workload. Speed, due to the lack of effective operation and maintenance tools, it is difficult to implement operation and maintenance specifications; it is completely dependent on manual inspection, and configuration specifications are difficult to implement; compliance audits still consume a lot of manpower and time, but the results are minimal, and serious non-compliance still exists. , resulting in difficult standardization of operation and maintenance work, reduced system availability, and lack of effective detection, control, rollback and auditing methods for changes.

In order to meet the needs of automatic configuration management, realize the standardization of network platform and server system platform configuration, implement IT configuration and operation and maintenance specifications, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, ensure the controllability and reliability of daily IT operation and maintenance, and improve business efficiency. With the goal of usability and service quality optimization, the Orange Cube team establishes a centralized and unified automatic configuration management system for the network platform and server platform by deploying an automatic configuration management platform to provide an integrated and unified automatic management portal.

Features and Benefits

The challenges of IT management in the cloud era are diverse. The first is the change of the basic platform. In the past, it was the responsibility of each department to manage the department, and it was also separated during construction. In the era of cloud computing, the concept of integration will appear - all resources are unified through the underlying integration or virtualization technology. This first brings the problem of virtualization. After the server is virtualized, many virtual machines will be generated, which will cause network compatibility problems.

In the cloud era, servers and network devices have changed from one-to-one to one-to-many after virtualization, and virtual machines are often migrated, and their locations are not fixed. How to find and locate virtual machines is a management problem. .

According to the operation and maintenance service strategy, establish the operation and maintenance service plan and objectives, and determine the scope of the operation and maintenance service.

Establish operation and maintenance service specifications, clarify the operation and maintenance service process, and build an operation and maintenance service system.

Through a lot of independent research and the application practice of industry users, Orange Cube has summed up a set of operation and maintenance service system based on cloud computing technology, which can help users establish operation and maintenance service capabilities and improve operation and maintenance service levels.
