Modern monitoring and management IT-instruments

Nowadays none will argue against the statement that present-day information technologies are developing by leaps and bounds. Constant growth of information infrastructure and increment of load bring to the necessity of implementation of management and monitoring IT-solutions for supporting stable and efficient work of information systems of a company.

So July 14, 2010 the company JSC “NAT Kazakhstan” held a seminar for the company’s customers, having familiarized them with the modern monitoring and management IT-instruments.

The employees of the company JSC “NAT Kazakhstan” told about key facilities of IT-solutions for optimization of a company’s work.

To the attention of the audience the following reports were presented:
• Monitoring and management of IT-infrastructure (MS SCOM);
• network configuration control (MS SCCM);
• automation of support service (MS SCSM);
• mobile objects monitoring system NOMAD.

The modern solutions of IT-infrastructure monitoring and management enable to provide with efficient work of information systems of an enterprise, reliability and accessibility of IT-services. Using these instruments a company obtains a possibility to considerably reduce the time of downtime of corporate systems and decrease a probability of business losses.

Use of systems of IT-infrastructure monitoring and management makes it possible to:
• optimize the use of information resources;
• increase the quality of IT-services and speed of eliminating of equipment and software failures;
• provide with reliability, safety and coordinated functioning of all components of IT-infrastructure;
• ease modernization of IT-infrastructure;
• increase the efficiency of the IT-department’s work several times.

Vilitskiy Semen, manager of the system-technical consulting department:
”On previous seminars of our cycle “IT-infrastructure nowadays” we have considered what solutions are to be used for building efficient IT-infrastructure. The fourth seminar was devoted to solutions for IT-infrastructure monitoring and management. The reports were devoted to the Microsoft System Center based solutions for monitoring, inventory, management and automation of processes according to the best practices described in the ITIL and MOF.
The reports aroused lively interest and a lot of questions, and a report at times used to grow into a discussion. Activity of the audience indicates not only interest but also topicality of these subjects. And the fact that our system NOMAD aroused the same interest and was in some way a discovery for some people cannot but make us happy. We are glad we could attract the attention of customers and tell something new for them”.

Kigizbayev Daniyar, consulting engineer of the system-technical consulting department:
”My report was devoted to the instrument giving unquestionable advantages to the IT-department and enabling to increase the level of IT-services and to use resources of the IT-department more efficiently. I’m speaking about the product Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. Every day it is more and more difficult to control the growth of IT-infrastructure, to keep it in order, know and see where, what and in what quantities is used. Inventory requires much time and power, and accounting of software is virtually impossible without special tools. SCCM based solutions provide all necessary tools for solving these problems”.

Aleksey Klokov, consulting engineer of the system-technical consulting department:
Today when IT-infrastructure is much important component for an enterprise, a monitoring tool of its accessibility and operability is necessary. With the growth of an enterprise its IT-infrastructure becomes more complex and heterogeneous, consisting of a large quantity of bundled software and hardware from different manufacturers. As the complexity of IT-infrastructure rises, requirements to monitoring systems increase too. I have presented the product System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 – a monitoring system giving all necessary tools for tracking IT-infrastructure’s state of medium- and large-scale enterprises.
