The Need for Opsview
The Irish Tax and Revenue were in the process of deploying a new online customs and excise service that demanded true 24x7 operation of their computer systems. The Irish Tax and Revenue selected Opsview to provide monitoring of this critical application.
A heavy emphasis was placed on monitoring the Revenue's custom developed application software. This ran on a combination of Sun hardware, Oracle WebLogic enterprise Java platform, and an Ingres relational database. Analysis software was developed to process the large volumes of runtime data generated by the system – allowing problems to be identified before they affect system users.
Installation took place five months; it was also installed in their disaster recovery site in parallel to the live system.
Deployment and Result
An estimated savings of €350,000 was made in software licensing costs by choosing Opsview over a proprietary alternative. The open source history of Opsview Enterprise allowed necessary customizations to be made quickly and cost-effectively.
Opsview provides ongoing technical support to ensure The Irish Tax and Revenue continue to derive full value from their Opsview system now and into the foreseeable future.
