56. Enterprise Infrastructure – Database Administration
Discussion and Questions
58. Enterprise Services Integration:
Born of the need to build a Services Oriented Architecture in support of the AIS
modernization program on the enterprise server utilizing the zVM/zLinux O/S platform
> NEW and EXCITING Technologies, c0mplexity is integrating them into real solutions
Workflow and PELL XML document processing are the first implementations of the AIS
J2EE modernization strategy
2 New Operating Systems, New Database Technology, New Application Server Environment, New Web Server Environment, Newly ported Workflow Engine, New Software AG XML software……BUT on the familiar enterprise server iron
59. SO…..Where are We? Built 3 test architectures since 11/05 including a windows environment and multiple
zLinux environments
Successful workflow engine port test to zLinux in 08/2006
Completely abandoned the windows environment 09/2006
Pilot test for UGTR workflow application 10/2006
60. SO…..Where are We (cont)?
PELL ready for a parallel test on zLinux using all new XML document processing
software
IBM health check completed and recommendations implemented
Production environment created & ready for use on March 15th
Leveraged the power of virtualization on a known hardware platform, incorporated vendor best
practices on the environment, and started to integrate into the organizations’ strengths in
production control and operations
61. New Technologies: XML
XML orchestration using Software AG’s Mediator
XML database using Software AG’s Tamino
Software AG’s IBPM workflow engine
IBM’s DB2 relational database
IBM’s Websphere Application Server Network Deploy
zVM and zlinux OS
LDAP role based authorization security
IBM’s Omegamon monitoring software
CA’s operator software
62. What’s Next? Continued emphasis on identity management and security architectures – corroboration with ASSET
Implement true SOA – Governance, Registry, Websphere ESB, CentraSite
Implement Web Server Load Balancer and Security Gateway Appliance
Cross Training
Migration of eCommerce to new architecture
Automating alerts and increased monitoring
