10 things .. about implementing ITIL


29 Oct

10 things that you should know about implementing ITIL
 
1. ITIL implementations need to be managed as formal projects.
To be successful, a deliberate, well-planned project management approach should be taken when implementing ITIL. It is best not to engage in ad hoc unconnected activities. Some key considerations include:
• Create an overall vision and strategy.
• Assign a program or project manager.
• Create a project team.
• Assign executive sponsors, program sponsors, process owners and other key roles.
• Develop a project plan and manage it effectively.
• Assign accountability for desired outcomes.

2. It takes resources, including time and money.
Implementing an ITIL Service Desk and all 10 support and delivery processes takes years, not weeks or months. Consider the following:
• There must be sufficient time for planning and selling the benefits of ITIL.
• Implementing a single process to a desired level of maturity requires a great deal of management attention.
• There are many costs associated with implementation: education costs, project costs, purchase of new or upgraded tools and systems, and possibly even the use of external consultants.
• There will be IT staff required for development and implementation of the processes, which means new roles have to be created.

Viewing complete session information


23 Oct

Most DBA know that they can query the v$session view to see the current sessions.  However, you can also interrogate the v$sysstat view to see the current logons, cumulative logons since startup, and the high-water-mark of logons since startup time.

The following script provides a wealth of information about the number of sessions on your Oracle database. (more…)

CIR vs BW Ratio


20 Oct

CIR (Committed Information Rate) vs Bandwidth ratio (Sharing)

Bandwidth ratio (sharing)
Ratio bandwidth adalah besarnya bandwidth murni yang diberikan dari/ke pelanggan dibandingkan dengan banyaknya pelanggan. Misalnya: Bandwidth murni ke Internet yang diberikan 128 kbps dan bandwidth ratio / sharing 1:2, berarti dari 1 bandwidth murni 64 kbps dibatasi untuk digunakan ke 2 pelanggan 128 kbps atau ke 3 pelanggan 128 kbps (untuk ratio/sharing 1:3). Akibatnya pelanggan akan berebut bandwidth dan akan sangat terasa kecepatan bandwidth menurun apabila pelanggan lainnya sedang melakukan transfer data secara besar-besaran dan terus menerus.

CIR (Committed Information Rate)
Analogi CIR diambil dari jaringan Frame Relay. CIR (dalam bits per detik) digunakan untuk mengatur flow data yang dikirimkan dari/ke pelanggan. Besar CIR normalnya adalah setengah dari besar bandwidth total. Jadi apabila menggunakan bandwidth 128 kbps, maka CIR normalnya adalah 64 kbps. Artinya, pada saat terjadi network congestion (terjadi apabila bandwidth-bandwidth pada gateway ISP penuh) jaminan kecepatan transfer data minimum adalah 64 kbits (CIR-nya bekerja) dengan catatan pada jaringan tidak terjadi gangguan apapun. Pada saat tidak terjadi network congestion, besar bandwidth ditentukan oleh EIR (Excess Information Rate) yaitu bandwidth total yang diberikan ke pelanggan (bandwidth yang disewa). Jadi pada sistem CIR, tidak ada pembatasan bandwidth maupun pembagian bandwidth / sharing ke pelanggan lain, kecepatan bandwidth dapat menurun hanya apabila terjadi network congestion.
