On March 14, the first Russian Zabbix office opened in Moscow. The opening celebration was held in the format of a mini-conference, bringing together more than 300 customers and interested users.
The event started with an exam. The pre-scheduled session gave me the opportunity to prove my knowledge and get certified as a certified specialist or a certified Zabbix professional without going through the appropriate training course. Congratulations to those who made it! I was impressed by the average score of the ZCP exam: 95,71% of correct answers. Perhaps Zabbix is ββin good hands.
The official part began with founder and CEO of Zabbix Alexey Vladyshev. When the Zabbix development vector in Russia was identified, Zabbix clients and users gave speeches, sharing their own experiences.
Igor Sharygin, Head of the Systems Development and Maintenance Department of the Processing Center of Alfa-Bank JSC, about how Zabbix is ββused in Alfa-Bank's processing. Zabbix makes it possible to learn about problems before customers, monitor the financial performance of processing and manage infrastructure utilization, preventing 99% of problems.
Presentations on the experience of using the Zabbix system on the scale of the Sberbank infrastructure Andrey Kovalenko, Managing Director of the Custom Solutions Department at Sberbank PAO; and Alexey Yevtushenko, General Director of Sberbank-Service LLC.
βSberbank is a huge infrastructure with branches all over the country. The company is old and the amount of installed equipment is huge, unfortunately, all of it is from many vendors and is of different ages, the minus is that it is difficult to give uniform quality throughout the territory. To achieve this quality, monitoring is needed. Historically, Sberbank used many systems, but when the process of centralization began, the problem of choosing a single system rose to its full height. Among the criteria set by the bank: scalability, price-quality ratio, high performance, correlation of events. It was critically important to be able to monitor the entire heterogeneous infrastructure. And the choice was on the Zabbix platform. Because the platform is open, it is possible to refine it and quickly adapt it.β β Alexei Yevtushenko shared during his speech.
βI think one of the best Zabbix teams in Russia was formed on the basis of Sberbank-Service. The speed with which Sberbank-Service develops the monitoring system is impressive. I don't know who could have done a better job." Andrey Kovalenko summed up.
Nikolai Samosvat, QIWI IT project manager, clearly what and with the help of what methods Zabbix does for QIWI: βThe main thing that we did was to abandon manual operations, all routine actions are fully automated through integration with internal systems, which made it possible to direct the forces of administrators to the development of monitoring.β
About infrastructure monitoring in Noyabrskneftegazsvyaz LLC using Zabbix Anton Petrov, Head of the Incident Response and Monitoring Department of the Noyabrskneftegazvyaz network: βDue to the large number of monitored objects, tasks were set to reduce the response time to emergency events on duty shift, reduce the downtime of services for customers and increase the speed of interaction between technical support and telecom operators.
