• Heterogeneous: need for standards• Cloud requests
– High scalability– Elasticity– High availability– Security
• Low cost of ownership (CapEx, OpEx)• SLA compliance

WBEM-DMTF
Source: DMTF*
• The DMTF* goal is to create a set of interoperable standards for managing distributed systems: WBEM* (including CIM*)
• A Model for distributed systems management• Basically describes platform management information• CIM* Profiles describe objects, methods, and behaviors to
perform specific mgmt domain tasks
Needs in standards-based solutions
• There is a need for smart resource managers, monitoring tools, and management tools using these standards
• Existing CIM-based management tools are too basic more for developers than for system administrators
• There are no tools adequate for mega datacenters– Need for management scalability
• DMTF is entering in the world of cloud computing
ToposUranos• A standards-based system management tool allowing
management of heterogeneous systems– Highly scalable– Based on industry standards– Highly flexible design: multiple manageability protocols with a common
CIM interface– High performance by design– Interacts with Windows, Linux, UNIX systems– Open source– Future policy-based actions for autonomic datacenters– Multiple monitoring interfaces: desktop, laptop, netbook, handheld– Configurable dashboards– Different discovery mechanisms (file, SLP, etc.)

•A hierarchical solution growingas more servers are added•Hierarchy automatically grows with a specific algorithm•Required for Cloud Computing
Resource Manager and Management Domains
• There are different management domains related to the hierarchy of the RM in a tree of RM’s– A ComputerSystem with no Virtual ComputerSystem (or WBEM service) inside is the minimum
management domain• What if there is a BMC?
• ComputerSystem is the core of the management system– A physical server– BMC– ComputerSystem Discovery: this is the class to discover from a WBEM service
• RM’s are instantiated through:– Agent in a server (you need to identify it)– Policy
• All RM’s are in VM’s in one server• Or 1 VM per server• Or in a physical server
– Dynamic instantiation based on algorithm– The RM could be in a small VM that is provisioned to a physical server through a CIM operation

• New hardware products differentiate from the competence through innovative features
• New features are not yet covered by standards• New providers are necessary to administrate those products and exploit
new features• New features may be needed in the management tools• New policies as the new features may bring new management techniques
Provider Development for New Products
Instance, Association, Method, Property, Indication providers for new products
Conclusions
• ToposUranos is highly-scalable, standards-based solution, that allows monitoring and management of heterogeneous systems
• Designed for high performance from early conception
• Additionally, Uniqs offers a comprehensive set of datacenter consulting solutions including development of manageability providers/agents for new products
