ITIL Compliance and Rice IT

The use of Zabbix at Rice is instrumental in our ITIL service support model.  The software provides 3 functions that are leveraged to provide the best service delivery possible.

1) Trending; The ability to gather data about key indicators of systems functions over time to provide forecasting and to baseline service health.

2) Monitoring:  The ability to automate and track the tracking of resource utilization for scaling, service health checks and event identification.  The early detection of events before they become problems.

3) Notification:  The automated action of communicating event threshold alert or sudden service or system problems that may require immediate action in order to minimize the disruption of services.
