[WIN] Sun Identity Management: The new Epassword LDAP service went into production this morning. This new service offers LDAP service on new geographically-diverse Linux systems which are load balances by our F5 LTMs. The new LDAP service is more resilient in the event of a server outage. It also allows ITS to decommission some aging Sun hardware.
[WIN] F5 Disaster Recovery Test: Prior to the cut over to the new LDAP service, we performed a full disaster recovery test to simulate loss of service in the Hill Center. Our tests were successful, and we did learn a few new things about the behavior of the LTMs. The successful disaster recover test validates the architectural planning the went into the services deployed behind the LTMs.
