Management on a Datacenter

The administration and management of a DC might seem something more secondary but the reality is that it is a very critical point.

We can have a last generation DC with the latest and more advanced devices of the market but if their management is not correct this may cause our DC many problems in terms of network, security, etc.

Better management and a unified management mainly involves greater ease in finding and solving potential problems. We also would have a centralized reporting errors system.

Our DC should have the following elements or devices and services:

• Mail Server: allow us to report problems via mail
• IDS : Detect intrusions in our network
• DNS: allow us to use name and domains in our DC instead of IP addresses.
• Centralized log error system
• Automated management of devices
• Unified management

For this purpose, Juniper has a management tool for the different areas of a data center, such as network, applications, services, virtual machines, etc. Junos Space.

Main features of Junos Space:

• Sourcing service error-free (no errors) and automatic troubleshooting.
• Simplifies network administration thanks to easy-to-use interface.
• Reduces network downtime.
• Automatic instantiation of virtual machine.
