Cloud Computing-based Configuration Management

摘要

Symantec has announced Veritas Oper-ations Services, a cloud computing-based set of services. Veritas Operations Services is oriented toward tracking best practices, configuration management, and hardware/software compatibility in data centers. It uses a cloud computing service-delivery model, via web services, to track data for Veritas Storage Foundation, Veritas Cluster Server, leading OSs, and SAN software and firmware. Symantec will initially offer two Veritas Operations Services solutions. The first offering, Veritas Installation Assessment Service, validates preinstallation/ preversion upgrade storage and server configurations using automated, agent-less data collection and provides reports and alerts to notify you of the status of key configuration variables, with hyperlinks to needed patches or relevant documentation for problem resolution, and a patch-notification service. Installation Assessment Service also features an agentless assessment that can run on one or multiple servers and OSs without requiring installation of Veritas Storage Foundation or Veritas Cluster Server.
