Private Cloud benefitsWhy consider Private Cloud for JDE EnterpriseOne?If managed and supported proficiently,JDE EnterpriseOne is a flexible, feature-rich product that delivers significantbusiness benefits including an impressivereturn on investment. However, thosebenefits are quickly eroded if the systembecomes unreliable or fragile.

To get the best from JDE EnterpriseOne it is imperative that:

• It is deployed using a fit-for-purpose platformcomprising correctly specified hardware, software andnetwork connectivity

• Those responsible for its support have detailedknowledge of Microsoft technologies on which JDE EnterpriseOne depends and interacts, such asWebLogic Java Server, Load Balancing Appliances,Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Reporting Services, SQLAnalysis Services, Citrix XenApp / RDS and Windows Server

• A robust SLA is in place, which includes guaranteedapplication uptime (not just OS availability), responsetimes, fix times and problem escalation when necessary.

Most internal IT departments have the capability todeliver a wide range of general support, but lack in-depthexpertise required to effectively support complexapplications like JDE EnterpriseOne.

Insite’s Private Cloud comprehensively addresses theserequirements and manages the risk of application failure.

24 x 365 Monitoring and AlertingAn acute awareness of application and system health isrequired to deliver market-leading standards of support.Insite uses a best-of-breed toolkit to continuouslymonitor application performance and the platforms onwhich applications are dependent.

User Experience MonitoringInsite utilises Dynatrace Synthetic Transaction Monitoringto continuously monitor application performance andmeasure the end-user experience at 10 minute intervals.

A benchmark is established by measuring the duration ofthin client and JDE EnterpriseOne logins. Thereafter, 24/7alerts are raised if a login process fails to complete or iflogin times exceed the benchmark by 30%.

Server MonitoringInsite employs SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor(SAM) to continuously monitor server thresholds andWindows services on which applications are dependent.24/7 alerts are raised if thresholds are breached or ifservices become unavailable.

SAM is integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)and raises 24/7 alerts if hardware components fail orwhen error conditions occur.

Network MonitoringCisco Prime is deployed to monitor Insite’s Cisco Nexuscore switches and edge switches. 24/7 alerts are raised ifoperational thresholds are exceeded or if error conditionsmanifest on any network port.

Windows Event Log MonitoringPower Admin from PA Server Monitor is used to identifyand alert on Windows event log errors, drawing attentionto individual problems before they compound intosomething more disruptive.

Key features continued

Synthetic Transaction Monitoringcontinuously measures the end-userexperience at 10-minute intervals toensure that application performancebenchmarks are maintained All infrastructure is monitored 24/7 in

granular detail using best-of-breedsoftware. If thresholds are breached orerror conditions are detected, alerts areraised automatically

Security/Compliance

SIEM/Protective MonitoringSecurity Incident and Event Management, or ProtectiveMonitoring, greatly enhances an organisation’s awarenessof cyber threat by alerting on attacks in real time. Insiteutilises LogRhythm SIEM 2.0 to provide the followingstate-of-the-art protection:

LogRhythm automates compliance with ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC-2 and IL3 by using a powerful threatanalytics / log correlation engine to audit tamper-proofcopies of security logs, from servers and securityappliances, in real time. Alerts are raised if a suspiciouscombination or sequence of events is detected.

Vulnerability AssessmentsInsite uses Security Center Continuous View from TenableNetworks to provide quarterly vulnerability assessmentsof Private Cloud infrastructure.

Malware, out-of-date software, missing updates andpatches are identified and classified as Critical, High,Medium or Low vulnerabilities.

Security AccreditationsInsite is ISO 27001:2013 accredited by a certification body approved by the United Kingdom AccreditationService (UKAS).

Insite is also Impact Level 3 (IL3) certified by the CabinetOffice to host confidential Government systems andapproved for connection to the Public Services Network(PSN). In addition, Insite is Cyber Essentials PLUS certifiedin accordance with the UK Government standard developedas part of the UK’s National Cyber Security Programme.

Secure Infrastructure HostingProduction infrastructure is hosted at Insite’s Tier 3 datacentre located in Kent.

Disaster Recovery infrastructure is hosted at a Tata Tier 3data centre located in Buckinghamshire.

Secure Internet ConnectivityJDE EnterpriseOne can be securely accessed using theInternet. Non-stop Internet access is assured by:

• High capacity, multi-homed Internet connectionsfrom different Internet Service Providers

• Clustered EAL-4 firewalls, which comprehensivelyprotect all infrastructure under management

• Cisco Intrusion Detection Sensors, which protectagainst complex attacks, automatically killingconnections if suspicious activity is detected

• Clustered AEP Netilla appliances, which providesecure browser based access to Citrix or TerminalServer desktops for any authorised user with anInternet connection

• Tenable Passive Vulnerability Scanner, whichcontinuously monitors network traffic to eliminateblind spots by identifying vulnerabilities and threatsin real-time.

Server Patching/UpdatesInsite is responsible for applying hot fixes, securityupdates and service packs within a maintenance windowagreed in advance.

Significant updates and service packs are tested inadvance, using isolated test environments, before theyare applied to production infrastructure.

Key features continued

Application Performance ReviewsInsite undertakes capacity planning to identifybottlenecks and to propose system upgrades required tomaintain optimum application performance.

Windows performance counters are used to assessworkload and capacity of server infrastructure. SQL ServerDynamic Management Views are used to identify missingindexes, blocks, deadlocks and slow SQL code.

Insite works with application partners to permanentlyresolve application performance issues.

SQL Database AdministrationInsite is responsible for all SQL database administrationincluding configuration and daily validation ofmaintenance plans and backups. Daily or weekly SQLmaintenance plans manage hourly transaction logbackups, full backups, integrity checks and database re-indexing.

Change ManagementInsite takes responsibility for all changes to productionplatforms. Insite uses ITIL best practice to ensure thatchanges are made in a controlled way to minimise therisk of business disruption.

Change Requests include a regression path and areauthorised by both parties before being scheduled for implementation.

Shared Storage and BackupInsite provides shared storage required by highavailability SQL database clusters. Shared storage isprovisioned using high performance 3PAR 7440 arrays,configured with solid-state disks drives (SSD). Storagearrays are connected to servers using fibre channel toguarantee consistent, optimum application performance.

Insite’s Enterprise backup services utilise HP DataProtector and high capacity Ultrium tape libraries. Tapelibraries are connected to storage arrays using fibrechannel to facilitate high-speed ‘fabric’ level backups and restores.

Server Rental

High Availability Virtual ServersInsite provides high availability VMware virtual machineson a monthly rental basis, in a range of processor andmemory combinations.

To ensure consistent application performance, Insite doesnot contend virtual server resources. The ratio of virtualprocessors deployed to processor cores available ismaintained at 1:1. Many cloud providers assume an‘acceptable’ contention ratio of 3:1 when specifyinginfrastructure which results in variable applicationperformance, especially at peak times.

Physical ServersVirtual servers only have sufficient resources and diskthroughput to cope with SQL database workloads up to60 concurrent users. This figure reduces significantly ifBusiness Intelligence or other Reporting applications arein use.

Equally, virtual thin client servers have a practical limit of30 concurrent users and are inefficient compared to theirphysical counterparts which can support up to 80concurrent users.

For these reasons, Insite includes physical SQL databaseand thin client servers in the majority of JDEEnterpriseOne Private Cloud deployments.
