Surveillance Monitors Critical Processes for BCN of Michigan

For more than 70 years Blue Care Network for Michigan (BCN) has been dedicated to helping lower the cost of individual’s insurance and improve Michigan's people, communities, economy and health care system. It is Michigan’s largest health maintenance organization, and a wholly-owned, nonprofit subsidiary of BlueCross® BlueShield®. With data management requirements typical of an HMO, BCN utilizes a large data store encompassing membership information and complex insurance plan options that dictate the amounts paid by BCN and its individual members. BCN is a hosted client of TriZetto’s FACETS software using Sybase Replication to replicate OLTP data from TriZetto’s Denver site to their Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) operational data store in Detroit. Operational reports are ran every evening against the ASE database, as well as run ETL scripts that take the data from this operational data store and populate our analytical data warehouse. To run efficiently, BCN deployed Surveillance to monitor and manage its data stores for health and heart beat. “The Bradmark Surveillance client gives us detailed exception information and statistics on data volumes and latency. It gives a complete and holistic view in a more pictorial way,” said Raj Vunnam, Chief Architect, Blue Care Network of Michigan.

Key Surveillance benefits:

• User configurable Graphical User Interface for ease of configuration
• Monitors over 2500 metrics from exposed database tables (no network or OS sniffing)
• Automated event management – kick off or shut down applications based on user configurable parameters
• Increased resolution efficiency – find it and resolve it quickly
• Mitigates risks of unscheduled outages or downtown
• Resource usage identification (Human, Software, Hardware)

As a strategic alliance Sybase partner, Bradmark is the recommended choice for monitoring and managing ASE, Replication Server and Sybase IQ investments that run on UNIX, Linux and Windows operating systems. With support for Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase and IBM database as well, Surveillance provides a single, integrated source for DBAs to manage multi-database, multi-OS system enterprises from a single source.
