In the Spotlight February 2010

In February TKU we focused our efforts on extending our coverage of key BMC products.

The 2 most prominent releases for this month are 2 big enhancements to products that we already supported: BMC-Remedy-AR-System and Microsoft-Internet-Information-Services.

We are showcasing these 2 enhancements on this page.

BMC Remedy AR System

The patterns were greatly enhanced, specifically to support a selected range of Applications running on top of the Remedy AR System infrastructure. For this purpose, a new Second Order SoftwareInstance is modeled, and it was named BMC Remedy AR System. This is the SoftwareInstance that the Applications are modeled on top of.

This Screenshot displays a Visualization of the Remedy AR System infrastructure. A single Server is linked to a Microsoft SQL Server Database, thus forming the current deployment for the Remedy AR System. That same Server is being fed data by a Mid-tier and a Flashboard SoftwareInstance.

Microsoft Internet Information Services

The enhancements to these patterns were aimed towards two separate goals: firstly, full support for Microsoft IIS 7 was introduced. Subsequently, all Websites & Applications were modeled as a substructure of Detail nodes.

This Screenshot displays a deployment of Microsoft IIS 7. A Webserver is running, and, on top of that, 2 Websites are deployed. Each Website contains 1 or more Web Applications deployed on them.

Microsoft Internet Information Services 7 – a Website Detail

This Screenshot displays a Detail for the Test Website. You can see how this Detail contains, in turn, 2 Web Application Details, called ABC Application and Test Application.
