5. Current State 1.Most infrastructure consulting partners have home- grown tools or processes for performing basic health checks and system reviews 2.Many generic industry standard audits exist 3.Details change from release to release 4.Oracle delivers Validation report 5.Lack of community-wide benchmark database © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 5

6. Goals © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 6

7. Goals 1.Build a platform for delivering audits without requiring server-installed software 2.Enable both Infrastructure and Application type audits 3.Enable performance benchmarking capabilities as well 4.Deliver most commonly-used audits and health checks © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 7

8. Goals (cont) 5.Open platform to partners to build their specific needs 6.Leverage existing tools and reports o Add value by enabling comparison over time and across servers/environments 7.Provide interface for users to compare benchmark results against rest of community © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 8

9. Where We Are © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 9

10. Where We Are 1.Platform is created 2.Basic audits are created 3.Basic reporting engine in place 4.Require input on specific checks and associated validation o ie: Trigger Disk Space < 10% or < XGB © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 10

11. What it does o Hyperion-specific as well as generic analysis of key Infrastructure settings and performance o Issues are identified and recommendations provided based on best practices o Detailed Proprietary Benchmarks to analyze database, disk and network performance help to uncover discrepancies between environments o Types of checks include: o Accelatis Deployment Summary o Accelatis Compliance o Throughput KPIs (database, disk, bandwidth, etc…) o TCP Chimney Setting and other non-Hyperion specific settings o Current Health Status o Hyperion Instance Report © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 11

12. Report 4 sections Summary o List of pass/fail records for each check/server Details and Recommendations o More insight into what was being checked, why it failed and recommendations to address Snapshot o Listing of all settings leveraged in the review including all server and product settings Executive Scorecard o Details of proprietary Accelatis KPIs and how this client relates to others © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 12

14. Brainstorm Determine priority for types of audits a.Security b.Pre-installation (major, minor, fix-pack?) c.Post-installation (compare against snapshot) d.Health Checks e.Performance Benchmarks f.Existing tools/reports Reporting Engine a.Comparison over time b.Comparison across servers/environments Benchmarking and Analysis a.Version specific? b.Company industry? c.Environment size? © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 14

15. Infrastructure o Disk Space o TCP Settings o Local Security Policy o Network Adapter o Environment Variables o User Account Control o Power Management © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 15

16. Health o Essbase Reference App o HFM Reference App o Planning Reference App © 2015 Accelatis, LLC 16
