Embodiment Construction

[0023] As noted above, the present invention provides a method, system and program product for managing information / data for network topology changes such as IT migration. In particular, in the present invention, information pertaining to the existing network topology is imported into the migration database. This information typically includes information about the devices in the existing network topology, the existing network addresses of the devices, whether each device has a static or dynamic address, information about the location of the devices, and information about the users of the devices. Information about the user of the device can be imported from a personnel database, while information about the device itself can be imported from a software utility and / or entered manually. In addition, information pertaining to the new network topology is received in the migration database. This type of information typically includes the device's new network address or address ran...

Abstract

Under the present invention, information pertaining to an existing network topology is imported into a migration database. This information typically comprises information about devices in the existing network topology, existing network addresses for the devices, whether each device has a static or a dynamic address, information about locations of the devices, and information about users of the devices. In addition, information pertaining to a new network topology is received in the migration database. This type of information typically comprises new network addresses or ranges of addresses for the devices, network port identifiers, connections to specific closets, racks, and switches, and whether each device requires a static or a dynamic address. Regardless, the information provided will then be sorted according a set of database views, which can then be provided to viewers.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present invention relates to information / data management for network topology changes such as information technology (IT) migration. In particular, the present invention provides, inter alia, centralized data management and electronic view generation for network topology changes. Background technique [0002] As information technology (IT) continues to advance, many organizations are faced with the task of changing their network topology (eg, migrating their existing computer infrastructure, telephone systems, etc.) to a new technology. For example, an organization may wish to migrate its network functions from Token Ring to Ethernet. Similarly, an organization may wish to migrate its telephony service from landline-based service to voice over IP service. [0003] Network topology changes may involve not only the addition of components, such as hardware or software, to the computer infrastructure, but also the physical relocation of e...
