Download or read book End to End High Availability Solution for System z from a Linux Perspective written by Lydia Parziale and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Linux on System z becomes more prevalent and mainstream in the industry, the need for it to deliver higher levels of availability is increasing. This IBM Redbooks publication starts with an explanation of high availability (HA) fundamentals such as HA concepts and terminology. It continues with a discussion of why a business needs to consider an HA solution and then explains how to determine your business single points of failure. We outline the components of a high availability solution and describe these components. Then we provide some architectural scenarios and demonstrate how to plan and decide an implementation of an end-to-end HA solution, from Linux on System z database scenarios to z/OS, and include storage, network, z/VM, Linux, and middleware. This implementation includes the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (TSA MP), which monitors and automates applications distributed across Linux, AIX®, and z/OS® operating systems, as well as a GDPS based solution. It includes the planning for an end-to-end scenario, considering Linux on System z, z/VM, and z/OS operating environments, and the middleware used. The TSA MP implements HA for infrastructure, network, operating systems, and applications across multiple platforms and is compared to a Linux HA implementation based on open source Linux-HA, which is Linux only.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This IBM® Redbooks® publication presents an overview of the IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex® (IBM GDPS®) offerings and the roles they play in delivering a business IT resilience solution. The book begins with general concepts of business IT resilience and disaster recovery, along with issues that are related to high application availability, data integrity, and performance. These topics are considered within the framework of government regulation, increasing application and infrastructure complexity, and the competitive and rapidly changing modern business environment. Next, it describes the GDPS family of offerings with specific reference to how they can help you achieve your defined goals for disaster recovery and high availability. Also covered are the features that simplify and enhance data replication activities, the prerequisites for implementing each offering, and tips for planning for the future and immediate business requirements. Tables provide easy-to-use summaries and comparisons of the offerings. The extra planning and implementation services available from IBM also are explained. Then, several practical client scenarios and requirements are described, along with the most suitable GDPS solution for each case. The introductory chapters of this publication are intended for a broad technical audience, including IT System Architects, Availability Managers, Technical IT Managers, Operations Managers, System Programmers, and Disaster Recovery Planners. The subsequent chapters provide more technical details about the GDPS offerings, and each can be read independently for those readers who are interested in specific topics. Therefore, if you read all of the chapters, be aware that some information is intentionally repeated.

Download or read book Tivoli Integration Scenarios written by Redbooks Tivoli Integration Scenarios Team IBM and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides a broad view of how Tivoli® system management products work together in several common scenarios. You must achieve seamless integration for operations personnel to work with the solution. This integration is necessary to ensure that the product can be used easily by the users. Product integration contains multiple dimensions, such as security, navigation, data and task integrations. Within the context of the scenarios in this book, you see examples of these integrations. The scenarios implemented in this book are largely based on the input from the integration team, and several clients using IBM products. We based these scenarios on common real-life examples that IT operations often have to deal with. Of course, these scenarios are only a small subset of the possible integration scenarios that can be accomplished by the Tivoli products, but they were chosen to be representative of the integration possibilities using the Tivoli products. We discuss these implementations and benefits that are realized by these integrations, and also provide sample scenarios of how these integrations work. This book is a reference guide for IT architects and IT specialists working on integrating Tivoli products in real-life environments.

Download or read book Empowering Security and Compliance Management for the z OS RACF Environment using IBM Tivoli Security Management for z OS written by Axel Buecker and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every organization has a core set of mission-critical data that requires protection. Security lapses and failures are not simply disruptions, they can be catastrophic events with consequences felt across the enterprise. The inadvertent mistakes of privileged users alone can result in millions of dollars in damages through unintentional configuration errors and careless security commands. Malicious users with authorized access can cause even greater damage. As a result, security management faces a serious challenge to adequately protect a company's sensitive data. Likewise, IT staff is challenged to provide detailed audit and controls documentation in the face of increasing demands on their time. Automation and simplification of security and compliance processes can help you meet these challenges and establish effective, sustainable user administration and audit solutions. This includes security database cleanup, repeatable audit of configurations and settings, and active monitoring of changes and events. IBM Tivoli Security Management for z/OS V1.11 provides these solutions to help enhance the security of mainframe systems through automated audit and administration. In this IBM® RedpaperTM document we discuss how Tivoli® Security Management for z/OS® allows you to submit mainframe security information from z/OS, RACF®, and DB2® into an enterprise audit and compliance solution and how to combine mainframe data from z/OS, RACF, and DB2 with that from other operating systems, applications, and databases in order to provide the ability to capture comprehensive log data, interpret that data through sophisticated log analysis, and communicate results in an efficient, streamlined manner for full enterprise-wide audit and compliance reporting.

Download or read book IBM z OS Mainframe Security and Audit Management Using the IBM Security zSecure Suite written by Axel Buecker and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every organization has a core set of mission-critical data that must be protected. Security lapses and failures are not simply disruptions—they can be catastrophic events, and the consequences can be felt across the entire organization. As a result, security administrators face serious challenges in protecting the company's sensitive data. IT staff are challenged to provide detailed audit and controls documentation at a time when they are already facing increasing demands on their time, due to events such as mergers, reorganizations, and other changes. Many organizations do not have enough experienced mainframe security administrators to meet these objectives, and expanding employee skillsets with low-level mainframe security technologies can be time-consuming. The IBM® Security zSecure suite consists of multiple components designed to help you administer your mainframe security server, monitor for threats, audit usage and configurations, and enforce policy compliance. Administration, provisioning, and management components can significantly reduce administration, contributing to improved productivity, faster response time, and reduced training time needed for new administrators. This IBM Redbooks® publication is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who wish to better understand their mainframe security solutions.
