Challenge Overview
The IBM Development Server Team (DST) provides operational support and infrastructure to IBM practitioners that support both IBM internal and commercial accounts. DST infrastructure and support offerings are innovative in that they provide low cost, quick-turnaround, flexible HW/SW infrastructure that far surpasses any other non-production hosting environment in IBM. DST offerings are reserved to any IBM practitioner or project that requires a development, test or other non-production environment.
DST has a variety of traditional and non-traditional offerings that require the DST support personnel to support an infrastructure that spans the globe. As time has passed, the number of servers and a richer set of offerings have grown exponentially and the need for a set of more sophisticated tools to monitor infrastructure capacity has become a high priority. The primary reasons to gather data and report on infrastructure are to:
- Empower the DST Operational Support team with relevant capacity information to ensure that DST infrastructure is meeting HW and network resource demand
- Provide insight for the needs for future Capital Requests and when they might be needed
This component provides the network report service.
