Research And Implementation Of Configuration System Of The Commercial Bank’s Data Center

Data center, as the background processing center of business running, is the mostinformation intensified IT sector, playing an important role in the process of guaranteeingsuccessful development of bank financial business. Based on such position, it has to put inlarge numbers of various infrastructures to guarantee steady operation of business.Nevertheless, how to manage these infrastructures effectively has become the most severeproblem that data center is being confronted with currently. At the current stage, data centeradopts a management mode of separate operation to these facilities. Under circumstances ofimmature configuration management, once certain facility comes into error, it is notadvantageous for such mode to quickly locate and solve the fault, thus directly influencing thequality of the bank financial service.This thesis studies the theory of Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)which is in common use around the world, and taking its configuration managementprocedure as the instructiveness frame, builds the Configuration Management Data Base(CMDB) which meets the actual demands of data center. It also abstracts these infrastructuresinto various configuration items (CIs) through classification and modelling, endowing themwith apt attributes and names, and sets up relationships among these CIs, making them nolonger “information island”. Through carding, classilfying and relationship building, allrespects from the bottom hardware facilities to the top IT service are organically combinedinto an intuitive picture of data center infrastructure framework. Through centralizedshowcase, the Configuration Management System (CMS) can provide an overall understanding to the operation and maintenance personnel over these infrastructures, helpingthem efficiently and accurately record information and use them solve the fault. In the dailyoperation and management, CMS has solved the blind spot brought by the “informationisland”, making it convenient for various subordinate sectors to cooperatively solve theemergencies, track the problems and plan resources. In addition, the dynamic extendibility ofCMS provides advantages when data center is experiencing structural adjustment. Meanwhile,good combination with other ITIL procedures makes CMS the basis for them to successfullydevelopment. Conversely, the information in the CMS dynamically changes with otherprocedures carrying out. With both being combined, CMS is formed organically, whichrealizes sophisticated management objectives, thus comprehensively upgrading IT servicecapability of data center.The achievement of the thesis remarkably improves the efficiency of the administrators inthe database center and it shortens the time of checking the faults, which reduces the cost ofmaintenance and creates huge social benefit.
