A&I Solutions would like to announce the Employee of the Week, Brad Watson - Brad is a Solutions Architect on the A&I Service Assurance Team


(PRWEB) June 06, 2012

As a solutions architect, Brad enjoys helping companies identify bottlenecks and common problematic components. He also likes providing adaptive solutions that help clients use APM effectively in their specific environments.

Brad explains, I enjoy hearing what problems clients are constantly facing and helping them identify the source of those problems to create a workable solution. Rather than coming in and trying to push a certain agenda or preferred approach for an APM configuration, I like to work with the client and try to provide them a solution that is desirable to them and doesnt require any policy changes or heartache.

He specializes in Introscope dashboarding and Scripting. These two tasks involve application diagram dashboarding, server specific dashboarding, high-level overview dashboarding, Bash and Perl scripting for Introscope shell actions and automated reporting, and EPAgent scripting via Perl or Java programs.

New to the team, Brad has worked with two major clients, CapGemini and GE Capital.

Success Story:

While working as an APM administrator at Duke Energy, Brad wrote a program to replicate Introscope management modules to other servers and environments. This program was used to automate management module creation across hundreds of application servers at Duke Energy, which saved the APM team hours of manual, error-prone work. The program has since been refined, packaged into the APM Toolkit that A&I is developing internally. It has greatly aided in the dashboarding, metric grouping, and alert creating processes at current client sites. In addition to this, other architects within the A&I Service Assurance Team have used the tool during deployments for their own clients.

Recommendation:
