Weekly Snap: NETWAYSGrapherV2 update, World Cup telecoms, OpenITSM

24 – 28 May announced a NETWAYSGrapherV2 performance update, touched on open source IT Services Management, and looked forward to the World Cup from a telecommunications and NagVis perspective.
Karo got excited about the World Cup coming up in South Africa – and the telecommunications services that Deutsche Telekom customers will be able to enjoy during their stay over there. With Nagios monitoring their three roaming partners on the ground and special plugins to ensure internet login and connectivity, SMS, MMS and data transfers all should flow smoothly during the World Cup craze. To top it off, Deutsche Telekom operators will be able to constantly monitor the smooth running of communication channels through a new NagVis dashboard we recently created for them.
Following on the sevices theme, Julian shared his presentation on ‘IT Service Management with Open Source Software “OpenITSM”’ which he recently made at the Open Expo 2010 in Bern. The presentation covers various open source tools for Incident & Problem Management, Event Management, Operations Management, Service Desk and CMDB.
Finally Eric thanked the many people who gave us feedback since the release of the final NETWAYSGrapherV2 with a small update to improve the chart display in the dashboard and panels. No excuse to make a trip to the coffee machine, now that the performance is significantly better for large environments. As always, get the update from netways.org.
