omfield, CO - March 27 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2008 -- Today's IT administrators have their hands full. In addition to managing the day-to-day IT activities, including moves [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], additions and changes (MAC), they're tasked with orchestrating executive decisions relating to build outs, consolidations and acquisitions (BOCA). These large-scale projects require careful planning and implementation to maintain the de facto standard of 24/7/365 network uptime.
To overcome the complexity and risks these data center transformations present, IT administrators need to establish a solid and effective process that ensures their success.
This white paper presents how remote access tools and the use of a five stage BOCA process supports these goals. By implementing robust out-of-band KVM switches, KVM over IP switches, and serial console servers early in the process [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can enable server monitoring while effectively managing the project. Travel is minimized and cycle times are reduced, resulting in a BOCA implementation that is completed in a timely, productive and efficient manner.
This White Paper Presents:
The New Five Stage BOCA Process:
- Assess - Understand what you have and what you hope to accomplish
- Plan - Collect an accurate inventory of all IT assets and resources to determine how you will get from where you are to where you want to be
- Build - Determine the simplicity or the complexity of what is required by the project while minimizing service disruptions during the transition
- Stabilize - Establish processes and procedures for ongoing remote access monitoring, enabling timely updates and fixes
- Optimize - Utilize a KVM switch solution to monitor ongoing data center operations and optimization new installations
Solutions:
- Software-based remote access products play a large part in successful BOCA implementations
- KVM switches can allow out-of-band access, control and management of servers, even if the network is down
- KVM switches enable businesses of all sizes to reduce costs, improve business continuity and support a robust level of security
