    Another focus of the project is on migration of the monitoring solutions in ITM6 to the new metrics based monitoring. The migration includes also automatic documentation of ITM6 environment to Confluence using the Confluence REST/API and programming of several webapplications for managing maintenace and visualisation of events.

    Tasks:
  • Supporting of ITM6 system components
  • Consulting of customers regarding monitoring solutions and their integration into the system
  • Conceptualization of monitoring solutions for operating systems, databases, middleware and applications
  • Developing of new solutions for system monitoring with ITM6
  • Creating of customer specific ITM6 situations

    Topic: Planing and building up several systems for controlled remote access.
    Tools:
  • Oracle Secure Global Desktop 5.20

  • A platform for controlled remote access is being built up for client's service providers who need access to core IT services. The portal provides a "2 Factor Authentication" for secure login: Additionaly to a user's password a PIN is required to login. The PIN is provided automatically by the system via SMS or eMail.

    All administrative sessions started by a service provider are recorded and archived in the system's database for later analysis

    Withhin a cooperation feature the service provider can invite other specialists to solve the problem by working together in a same session.

    With the Filetransfer Module the user is able to transfer logfiles or upload patches. All transfers are controlled and archived as well. All activities and changes to the core IT systems are logged for later evaluation.

    Tasks:
  • Planning and scheduling of migration process of redundant SGD systems without any customer impact
  • Installation and configuration of new instances, integration to customer's environment
  • Installation and configuration of SGD Secure Gateways
  • Transportation and adapting of client applications in SGD to the new software version
  • Testing and QA of the migrated applications and handing over to the customer
  • Configuration of procedures for session recording, session management, cooperation 2 factor authenication and and filetransfer
  • Complete documentation
  • Training services for administrators
  • Handover of fully functional system to client's support
  • Last level support
