Server systems are a key part of software development, and it's great to potentially be part of a project in this area of information technology that is of great importance, and also, interest to me.
It will be interesting to see what the exact specifications and requirements are, with respect to the implementation of new tools. Are we looking at integrating new tools to the existing setup? Or possibly developing plugins for existing tools?
I am somewhat familiar with the server monitoring tool, Zabbix (and would highly recommend it, if new tools are being considered). It's free and Open Source too!
An important feature that would be necessary for a new tool is the ability to view and monitor HTTP requests (especially to a server load balancing mechanism, if it applies in this case). Learnt about this in school this semester. I am not sure whether a tool like Zabbix has this feature, but I could be wrong.

I am so not the tech person, but I figured I'd give you some of the basics and let Mark fill you in in more detail. Right now, we're using Perlbal as a load balancer, and we use Nagios and Cacti for monitoring.
I'm not sure what additional tools Mark had in mind for this project, though! I'm sure he'll be along to clarify.
