Description

Availability - Server Management is collecting and correlating performance, event and availability statistics to predict and, thus, avoid potential downtime for servers and end-to-end connections.

Based on information from Gartner research and NIH experiences, the ESM Domain team decided to determine strategic vendors for NIH’s Server Management needs at a future time. However, tactical deployments of vendors for Server management have been identified below.

Comments

Additional strategic tools will be determined after elements to be monitored are defined in the ESM process design and implementation efforts.
Tactical and strategic products were selected to leverage NIH's investment in products that are a proven fit for NIH's known future needs. Leveraging baseline products in the future will minimize the operations, maintenance, support and training costs of new products.
Some baseline products have been designated retirement and containment. These products are either not as widely or successfully deployed at NIH, or they do not provide as much functionality, value, or Total Cost of Ownership as the selected tactical and strategic products.
