We describe best practices for deploying a configuration management database (CMDB) that we have developed during several recent client engagements. Given the complexity and novelty of CMDB solutions that deal with discovering, storing and tracking actual configuration items (CIs), many enterprises rely on service delivery organizations - such as IBM Global Technology Services - to perform the configuration...
Functionally similar Web services are grouped as a community to facilitate and speed up the process of Web services discovery. This paper presents a solution to keep the Web service community highly-available to the user or application. The term highly-available refers that the Web service community can continue providing services even when master Web service (i.e., coordinator) fails operationally...
