Manual Process for a Sakai Driver RequestManual Process for a Sakai Driver Request
User calls or sends email to IT admin requesting a Blade with LAMP & 2GB memory
IT admin contacts user to check for additional requirements, such as disk
space or processor speed
IT admin checks BladeCenter inventory to see what is available
IT admin contacts user to verify Blade meets
requirements
IT admin loadsOS on machine
IT admin performs security patching and hardening
User is contactedwhen the Blade is
ready
User downloads and installs Sakai application software
User performs Marist Customization

Server Provisioning Platform (SPP)Server Provisioning Platform (SPP)
• Automate creation, deployment and support of Sakai CLE infrastructures
– Reduce the time to deploy and overall cost of Sakai environments through virtualization.
– Provide an end to end solution that will provision and manage IT assets and resources on demand.
– Level 1/2 IT and Academic Alignment
• Services Consist of two Variations:– Reusable assets for End to End provisioning of IT environments
» This includes best practice SPP assets tailored to fulfill Academic requirements including OS, middleware, Marist IT created scripts and network provisioning to reduce cost and time of deployment.
– Customized provisioning solution » Accommodate Academic Community requirements requirement for specialized
designs and considerations prior to deployment.

SPP Value Added ServicesSPP Value Added Services• Simplify Provisioning Complexity
►Condense complex processes and procedures into easy to use web based applications.
►Automate as much or as little as comfort / confidence permits. Supports incremental implementation.
►Load Environment data through Tivoli (TPM) Discovery methods and XML imports.
►Role based usage.►Email notifications to users and IT admin.
• Self Help Features►Provide workflows to help IT admin perform recovery actions on the TPM
Data Center Model.►Provide server scripts to help restore communication to lost assets.
• Documentation/Training►Deliver detailed operation procedures for the solution.►Selective training for each role.
