up.time Multi-Datacenter Monitoring

up.time 1-Page Solution Brief: Global Visibility with up.time Multi-Datacenter

Monitoring Datacenter Globally

Global Infrastructure Management, Measurement, and Monitoring from a Single, Federated Console. 

Do you have live visibility across your datacenters? How do you manage your Global infrastructure and applications?

  • Get Live Dashboards and Reports Across Multiple Datacenters and Platforms: up.time consolidates metrics from multiple datacenters into dashboards and reports that visualize distributed applications, performance, and service levels across multiple platforms.

Platform Monitoring

Do you really need to spend more on global hardware? How do you leverage underutilized resources across datacenters and time zones?

  • up.time Helps you Leverage Underutilized Global Hardware to Cut Costs: up.time provides live and historical Global resource consumption, so you can easily see opportunities to rebalance Global workloads and drive real IT efficiency.

Do you have reliable and secure remote systems monitoring capabilities?

  • Get Reliable, Secure Remote Systems Monitoring: up.time uses direct transfer technologies that are mature, reliable, trusted, and highly efficient to collect data while providing seamless drill-through from Global views to any datacenter.

How do you enable datacenters to be independently managed while still including them in a global View?

  • Get Global and Local Datacenter Access with One Solution: up.time’s loosely coupled architecture ensures local datacenters have the ability to function independently while still remaining part of the federated Global view.

Can You Reduce Costs by Outsourcing and Maintain Control and Visibility at the Same Time?

  • Maintain Control even when Outsourcing or Off-shoring: up.time gives you Global views across datacenters, yet still allows you to seamlessly drill-through to any local datacenter, even if it’s outsourced.

Do you want to implement 24/7 "Follow-the-Sun" support but don’t have the worldwide resources?

  • Easily Implement 24/7 Support for Global Applications with 9-to-5 Staff: up.time gives you ‘follow-the-sun’ escalation management capabilities that allow you to automatically pass responsibilities to operators in the ‘live’ time zone.

Multiple Datacenter ManagementWhether as a result of outsourcing, mergers and acquisitions, or organizational restructuring, IT infrastructures are now distributed across multiple locations. Unfortunately, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to concurrently view and manage the health of thousands of applications and infrastructure elements (servers and devices) that span many datacenters and time zones, all through a "single pane of glass."

With up.time, centrally monitor, manage, and report on the global infrastructure without compromising local control. Create role-based, cross-regional enterprise dashboards and reports to better align and optimize global IT resources.

up.time MDC Helps IT Managers Take Control Globally

Deep insight to effectively manage, monitor, and report on the global infrastructure:

  • Enterprise-wide service availability and performance from a single dashboard
  • Global service level agreements and enterprise applications
  • Global infrastructure capacity optimization and resource utilization

up.time MDC Gives System Administrators the Tools they Need

Securely and efficiently view and manage the entire global infrastructure from a central monitoring station:

  • Manage, monitor, and alert on distributed applications and service levels that span multiple locations and datacenters
  • Drill down into local datacenters to easily administrate remote infrastructures
  • Monitor the health of each datacenter to ensure continuity

Low-Impact and Secure Data Transfer

 

What: Leverages direct database-to-database transfer technologies that are mature, reliable, and trusted by DBAs as a means to ensure continuity among datacenters, as well as provide strong authentication and standard transfer protocol support.  These existing technologies provide highly secure and efficient means to transfer information between the up.time Local Datacenters (LDCs) and the up.time Enterprise Monitoring Station (EMS).

Why: Many other system management tools claiming multi-datacenter capabilities open unsecure ports to transmit service metrics and use unknown transfer protocols that may conflict with existing IT security policies. 

   

Cross-Datacenter, Real-Time, Customized Dashboards and Reports

 

What: Provides customizable, enterprise-wide, role-based dashboards that show current performance and availability status for any monitored server, device, or application within an organization’s entire global infrastructure.

How: Through cross-datacenter integration, IT managers can consolidate metrics from multiple datacenters into customized, real-time dashboards that visualize distributed application health, performance, and service level achievement. IT managers can also track enterprise-wide resource allocation and usage, leading to more efficient and effective capacity management.

Massive Scaling

 

What: Concurrently manage thousands of physical and virtual servers, devices, and applications across multiple datacenters from a single real-time console.

How: Loosely coupled architecture ensures that companies with massive deployments spanning multiple locations, irrespective of time zone or subnet, can reliably and securely monitor and manage their entire enterprise infrastructure from a common view with confidence.

Local Datacenter Monitoring Continuity and Autonomy

 

What: Local datacenters can function independently when the link to the Enterprise Monitoring Station is not available. Whether the Enterprise Monitoring Station is down for a minute or a month, each local up.time instance can autonomously provide full local system management capabilities until enterprise-wide services are restored.

Why: This ensures 100% monitoring continuity for every local datacenter, a key requirement for enterprise high availability initiatives. up.time MDC's local instances will also transparently resynchronize with the Enterprise Monitoring Station when the link is re-established, ensuring data consistency at the enterprise level.

Enterprise Ready

 

What: Works seamlessly within your existing enterprise infrastructure, leveraging your global authorization directories and policies to provide secure, role-based access that can be centrally managed and maintained.

How: Uses a standard federated database system, offering a mature and trusted means to link multiple local up.time datacenters across your global infrastructure. up.time fits well into your global High Availability and Disaster Recovery initiatives, offering full “lights out” system management capabilities for local datacenters when the link to the Enterprise Monitoring Station is down, as well as automatic recovery when a datacenter’s connection is re-established. This provides the full local visibility and control to maintain system administration when outages occur.

Remote Administration and Seamless Drill-Through

 

What: Provides fast, drill-to remote management capabilities from the Enterprise Monitoring Station to any datacenter console, transparently managing user authentication and navigation.

Why: Manage any application, SLA, service, system or device located anywhere at any time. Many companies wish to implement remote system administration as a means to support off-hours system management, or better enable global support teams
