Introducing: The DC Admin
Network contact persons know the situation: After the virtual machine (VM) has been ordered via the SeviRe portal, it still needs a network substructure (also called model or application design). Until now, this required correspondence with the IT Center via e-mail.
Since this can involve a lot of back and forth, colleagues Benedikt Paffen and Philipp Tomazin from the Division Networks looked into the issue and came up with a more convenient solution.
Based on the data center fabric (Cisco APIC, SDN), a web interface was programmed for self-service, which fetches the required data from the APIC via API requests. The result: The DC Admin*.
Currently the web interface is still in the beta test phase with a few customers. For all who are interested or would like to participate in the beta test phase, we show today which functions the DC Admin provides.

TIM(e) to say goodbye!

As already mentioned in our post on Bye-Bye TIM TIM has already been taken offline on 24.07.2020.
For many years, our Tivoli Identity Management System (TIM) was a faithful and constant companion in the everyday life of RWTH. We enter the famous, RWTH-wide known identifier with two letters and six digits several times a day into the various systems and pages of the RWTH. But don’t worry, the user name remains, only TIM no longer exists.
