Challenge	Aurubis AG, the leading integrated copper group and the world’s largest copper recycler, needed a central, company-wide monitoring system for all subsidiaries that allowed for a standardized analysis of reported data and presentation of KPIs. All IT operations at Aurubis are based on various key performance indicators. These KPIs allow them not only to evaluate and control IT’s performance, but also to continually adjust IT operations to the needs of the company. Moreover, they form the basis for the evaluation and documentation of their suppliers’ target completion as well as their IT staff’s performance-related pay for internal services. Read More

Solution	Aurubis used Opsview Enterprise to build a central, company-wide monitoring system for all subsidiaries that allows for a Europe-wide standardized analysis of reported data and presentation of KPIs. Inmedias, an Opsview Enterprise Value-Added Reseller, developed a metrics dashboard and integrated it with Opsview Enterprise to provide a range of graphically treated and constantly retrievable information. Historical metrics from Aurubis' existing Nagios system were incorporated into the infrastructure so that all values in the monitoring system could be processed simultaneously and displayed in one single web interface. The infrastructure currently monitors about 300 servers and 800 services from 16 national and international sites. Read More Log in to view content

Challenge

Aurubis AG, the leading integrated copper group and the world’s largest copper recycler, needed a central, company-wide monitoring system for all subsidiaries that allowed for a standardized analysis of reported data and presentation of KPIs. All IT operations at Aurubis are based on various key performance indicators. These KPIs allow them not only to evaluate and control IT’s performance, but also to continually adjust IT operations to the needs of the company. Moreover, they form the basis for the evaluation and documentation of their suppliers’ target completion as well as their IT staff’s performance-related pay for internal services.

About Customer

Aurubis AG is the leading integrated copper group and the world’s largest copper recycler. Their core business is the production of marketable copper cathodes from copper concentrates, copper scrap and recycling raw materials. Aurubis AG has generated revenues of over €6billion in the past several years. It operates in seven European countries and employs approximately 4,700 workers. All IT operations at Aurubis are based on various key performance indicators. These KPIs allow them not only to evaluate and control IT’s performance, but also to continually adjust IT operations to the needs of the company.

Solution

Aurubis used Opsview Enterprise to build a central, company-wide monitoring system for all subsidiaries that allows for a Europe-wide standardized analysis of reported data and presentation of KPIs. Inmedias, an Opsview Enterprise Value-Added Reseller, developed a metrics dashboard and integrated it with Opsview Enterprise to provide a range of graphically treated and constantly retrievable information. Historical metrics from Aurubis' existing Nagios system were incorporated into the infrastructure so that all values in the monitoring system could be processed simultaneously and displayed in one single web interface. The infrastructure currently monitors about 300 servers and 800 services from 16 national and international sites.

Impact #1	Aurubis AG can use the new KPI reporting tools to increase transparency both within and outside of their IT department, not least thanks to a reporting interface that is easy to use for all employees.
Impact #2	KPI reports aren’t the privilege of IT, but common property within the company.
Impact #3	A routine, customizable monitoring process allows the organization to better use existing capacities and to systematically identify the need for optimization.
