SCOM Lead Engineer
As the SCOM Architect , I monitored over 800 corporate Microsoft servers (2003–2012 R2) leveraging HP Server and Blade technologies. I issued notifications and collected performance metrics for troubleshooting, and maintained an environment comprising 95% virtual and 5% physical servers across three data centers and 50+ remote offices.
This infrastructure incorporated HP, Juniper, VMware, and Hyper-V technologies.
I also integrated SCOM with SCVMM, SCORCH, and HPSIM, automating processes using Runbooks, PowerShell, and VB.
Additionally, I developed Management Packs with VSAE to enhance monitoring capabilities beyond the default scope.
I also monitored SQL databases and clusters supporting 300+ applications, including SharePoint and .Net Performance, and provided training on custom views and dashboards.
I also maintained a blog at scomdepot.com which you can now see at the "wayback machine"
To improve security and accessibility, I implemented a solution granting read-only access to all users while enabling specific support teams to retain authorship rights.
Served as the SME SCOM Lead in the following areas:
- Created custom dashboards for business owners to monitor in-depth application health.
- Created Liebert, APC, Juniper and Oracle device monitoring and controls heavily utilizing SNMP Protocols and automating some tasks to gather event information and provide recovery options.
- Created 55+ customized notification subscriptions generating alerts for local and regional teams and worked with application owners creating custom monitors giving an “application view back into the infrastructure”, allowing the BI team to monitor each application independently from the supporting infrastructure.
