Organisational Perspektive of OAM
Alternative: centralised
OAM in a dedicated group
All relevant tools for all plattforms under single management
Downside: separation of OAM and infrastructure
management
Alternative: distributed
Infrastructure management groups own their relevant tools
OAM governance established
Modeling services for customers provided
Downside: high level of control and coordination required

Examples for OAM KPIs
% False Positives
% Undetected Faults
% False Automated Actions
Number of non-modeled dependencies
Availability of Monitoring & Event Management tools
Compliance with „Monitoring SLA“ (Modeling, Preparation,
Delivery)
Quality & actuality of OAM documentation

OAM Methodology for Analysis and
Modeling
1. Requirements analysis
Which services are provided?
What requirements are present?
2. Structural analysis
Components of the service
Internal and external interfaces
Function points
3. Control point analysis
Weaknesses and threats
4. Modeling
Service model
Monitor model
Alarm model

OAM Modeling of a Service
„Bottom Up“ Modeling
Levels focus and ease
modeling effort
Helps to establish model
patterns
„Top Down“ Check
Interfaces are
projections of service
model components onto
the outer shapes of the
cube (SLA/OLA/UC)
Service blocks can be
identified and build
Optimised IT Management 18

santix AG 2014
Service 3 Service n
Service Blocks
Interfaces to other services
are categorised as
„Provider“, „Consumer“ or
both
Multiple services can be
combined to service
aggregates
A complex business
application is typically a
collection of building blocks,
i.e. application, messaging,
mail, directory, load
balancing, storage etc.

Control Point Identification
Testing and Monitoring have similar basics
Requirements = SLA
Use Cases = transactions
Stress test = capacity shortage
…
OAM = quality management in production
Lower number of Incidents
Eliminate root causes
Raise service quality
