PerformancePoint Server for monitoring IT health - a solution
I just read a BI Blog post that details a solution for IT managers that want to use PerformancePoint Server to monitor several KPIs, view trends, and more. PerformancePoint Server can help you monitor and manage the health of your IT infrastructure by connecting to System Center Operations Manager 2007, SCOM (formerly known as Microsoft Operations Manager, MOM) data from a PerformancePoint Server dashboard. A Microsoft team provides a white paper and solution to help you create a complete performance management solution for monitoring the health of your IT infrastructure. Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page for the solution.
The white paper shows how to do the trickier parts of the solution and gives more detail about the metrics that are monitored.
The sample solution includes SQL Server Integrations Services ETL packages for the BI data warehouse, cubes, and sample dashboards. The IT manager gets value from having a holistic view of the IT system and being able to monitor metrics such as those found in a service-level agreement.
Good stuff !
