Virtualize Everything

Hi buddies! How’s everything going? As my mate said, today I will speak about services devices that we’ll be using on our solution.

Things we have to check out are:

• Consolidation of computing resources.
• Reduce the amount of physical dedicated equipment.
• Allow movement of active services from one computer to another.

To consolidate the computing resources and reduce physical dedicated equipment, we must find some software which allows us virtualize servers.

Our solution is to install the software Oracle VM server from Oracle on all servers. So headquarters can monitor and manage all servers easily.

Oracle VM server for x86 offer:

• Fully integrated enterprise management from disk to applications to cloud.
• Rapid enterprise application deployment with Oracle VM Templates.
• 100+ pre-built Oracle VM Templates ready for deployment.
• All Oracle applications fully certified on Oracle VM.
• Zero licensing cost, affordable enterprise quality support.
• Free to download and distribute.

The second step is to choose which network manager can use to save computing time and facilitate network management. We have to remember that we use a brocade solution on the network ambit.

So looking at the services offered by Brocade we saw the Brocade Network Advisor. Brocade Network Advisor is the full network-lifecycle tool that brings all your information together into one simple, easy to use command and control application. Just turn it on and start working.

• Built for the future. Powerful.
• Proactive and intelligent. Identify where traffic is moving. You can also see where bandwidth is the heaviest where potential hot spots are forming.
• Automated — and fast. See Ethernet traffic paths and pinpoint bottlenecks fast. Automate your tasks to help reduce TCO.
• Faster availability for less cost. Brocade Network Advisor helps simplify your SAN operations with fast visibility and deeper insights.
• Troubleshoot quickly. Find bottlenecks before performance is affected.
• Dive deeper. Identify, monitor, and analyze data flows at the application level to manage your network capacity more efficiently.
• Bring the physical and virtual together. Brocade Network Advisor works seamlessly with virtualization technologies for complete VM-to-LUN visibility and management.

Finally, but not less important, we have to find the security manager. We use a checkpoint solution so we will use Smart Event.

SmartEvent consolidates monitoring, logging, reporting and event analysis in a single console to bring you comprehensive, easy to understand threat visibility.

Benefits which offer:

• Reduce data to be reviewed and quickly isolate threats.
• Easily investigate and mitigate threats.
• Consolidated monitoring for all security threats.

That’s all services managers which we will use in our solution to simplify and improve our data center.
