AlarmPoint system for ITSM 7

2009-09-23 Thread strauss
Can anyone out there running AlarmPoint with ITSM 7.x give me some pointers on 
what hardware you have to put under it (AlarmPoint), and what software modules 
you need from them to properly support ITSM 7.x?

Chris -

We use two IBM xSeries 3850's with 8 cpu's each.  Each has a T1 card, 
connected to a fractional T1 (8 channels each.)  Your hardware will be 
determined by load (clearly) and connectivity requirements (the T1 cards 
are full length.)  AlarmPoint has a sizing spreadsheet they can walk 
through with you to size cpu/disk/memory.  Our servers are beefy enough to 
support both the notification server component, and the web front end.  AP 
recommends that they be split, but we've had no issues.

Our integration is somewhat custom, due to the fact we launched our 
project over a year ago (prior to some of their ootb integrations) and had 
some very specific requirements.  My understanding is that they have both 
ootb SD and CM integrations available today.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you need further details on topics 
such as telecom connectivity, paging methods, and DR/HA options.

No, it is not.  Sorry I omitted that from my original email.  It does live 
on the same physical hardware (AIX) as the Remedy and RKM db's although 
they are each in their own instance (Oracle 10gR2)

Is your database on one of the two servers?
