Design process

01. Discover

What is Db2 Warehouse on cloud(WoC)?

Db2 Warehouse arranges databases on the cloud and provides tools such as a monitoring dashboard for users to easily manage them.

Who are our target users?


What is the problem?

What is the goal?

DBA can pinpoint the root cause of a problem so that he can address the issue within 3 clicks.

02. Define

What specific use cases are we going to solve?

Check system health at a glance

When DBA gets into the office in the morning, he has
hundreds of unread emails and alerts that he has to deal with.
He needs a way to quickly check the health of the system at a
high level so that he can prioritize the issues he solves.

Manage the issues quickly

A DBA is usually alerted for a problem in his database (e.g. CPU has spiked, resource usage is maxed out) and he needs to be able to assess and pinpoint the problem quickly.

What would be the information architecture?

This is the information architecture of the Db2 Warehouse on Cloud. This project covers the screens that highlighted with blue background.
