Maintenance Windows (… it’s a Hosting thing)

It’s 8pm (EST) and I’m at my desk in my home office in Massachusetts about to perform a service upgrade on a pretty comprehensive service we installed at ServerVault in Virginia. Of course, I am ready with everything tested twice and ready to deploy (grin)

The service is hosted Sametime instant messaging, web conferencing, chat conferencing, persistent chat rooms, and document sharing all tied together with comprehensive directory services and a WebSphere Portal front end.

The new functions we are installing this evening include a series of Dashboards to provide concurrent usage, and various Sametime Community and Meeting room services. You may recall I talked about some multiple medium coding. This is the output from that work.

The development environment is Eclipse … well, more accurately it is WebSphere Portlet Factory with the Dashboards extensions. All of the performance graphs and tables are rendered with a single portlet.

The graph shows the user concurrency for web conferences and Instant Technologies TeamSessions chat room users.
