These are my links for July 22nd through July 27th:
- There is more than one way to skin a cat – The answer is efficiency; it is simply much more effective to deal with performance problems from the transaction perspective. it’s the best way to know what your end users were doing and where exactly things went bad, It completely eliminates the need for all hands calls and it is a lot simpler than digging through logs or correlating a ton of sophisticated metrics from multiple sources.
- Business Transaction Management has Disco Fever – Imagine if your enterprise monitoring software provided you with answers that shocked you. Imagine if you were in denial for a split second or even freaked out at the prospect that the solution to your problem is something which you’ve never even considered before. To be shocked you and your enterprise monitoring software first needs to be able to discover new things. The traditional way to deploy enterprise monitoring software is to ask the customer “Which servers/tiers do we need to put an agent on or monitor?”. This approach means customers get visibility into the server/tiers they are expecting their application and business transactions to flow through. The data provided is therefore predictable and somewhat unexciting.
- Virtually Painless ROI: Will UCS Unify IT Staffs? – The silo model drawbacks are amplified as IT organizations deploy VMware vSphere, the Intel 5000 CPU and the Nexus 1000V virtual switch to obtain 100% data center virtualization. As physical servers become unavailable, IT can no longer circumvent bureaucracy on the fly.
- William Vambenepe’s blog » Blog Archive » A small step for SCA, a giant leap for BSM – The road to BSM is paved with small improvements in the semantic alignment between IT infrastructure and application services. A couple of years ago, I tried to explain why SCA is very relevant for IT management. Now we can see it.
