Beschreibung
Building on the author's extensive experience in industry andgovernment agencies, this book proposes a general framework forintegrating the management of networked systems in the IP world.The Web-based Integrated Management Architecture (WIMA) leveragesXML's self-description capability to integrate SNMP data andCIM objects in a seamless manner.
The first part of the book begins with a detailed analysis ofSNMP; it highlights its strengths and weaknesses and justifies theneed for object-oriented information models such as CIM. Next, theauthor summarizes the different paradigms considered in managementresearch and industry in the past decade, compares the suitabilityof different middleware solutions, and concludes that with currenttechnologies, Web-based management makes a lot of technical senseand is not just trendy.
The second part goes into software engineering detail anddiscusses tradeoffs for organizing manager-to-agent communication.In WIMA, agents publish the monitoring data and notifications theycan send, and management applications (managers) subscribe to themin a semi- or fully automated way. The same publish-subscribeparadigm is used for manager-to-manager communication, whenmanagers are organized hierarchically to manage a large domain ordifferent domains. We explain why this solution decreases networkoverhead and improves scalability. Security issues are alsoinvestigated.
The third part of the book presents the high-level design ofJAMAP, a research prototype that implements the main components ofthe WIMA architecture. Its code is freely available and releasedunder the GPL license. This prototype is currently being ported toWeb Services. Finally, the author compares WIMA with SNMP, WBEM/CIMand JMX and concludes that WBEM could evolve into WIMA in thefuture.
This book is primarily aimed at software architects andengineers who design and write management applications. It shouldalso be of interest to administrators and people who are versedinto management architectures.
