Dynamic Systems Initiative: Technical Drilldown

Infrastructure Costs Complexity 1994 Client Server N - Tier Dynamic Systems IT Complexity & Cost Support Management Costs $$ DSI – reducing TCO by building in experience

Anderson, Design for Manufacturability: Optimizing Cost, Quality, and Time-to- Market, Second Edition (2001), CIM Press ProductionConceptDesignTesting Process Planning locked in lifetime costs incurred Cost (8%) committed Cost (80%) spend against budget Operational Awareness must be built into applications/services from initial design

DSI in a Nutshell … Knowledge Models Lifecycle

A Management Revolution DSI is about changing the IT industry’s mindset DSI is a long-range initiative DSI is designed for all IT environments Open modeling framework Open protocols Open interfaces Microsoft is starting with Windows Partners provide platform-specific knowledge

Design for Operations Manageability must be architected into the system Like scalability Like security

DSI - Strategic Innovation Required DSI requires two fundamental building blocks A generic way to model knowledge A generic way to communicate with a system SDM and WS-Management provide the foundation for partners and customers to create manageable systems Systems Definition Model (SDM) WS-Management

System Definition Model (SDM) Holistic structure of the application, services, and the system Management at design time Service requirements integrated during development Understanding of application structure Manage as a service Health monitoring Holistic view Desired configuration management Auto-provisioning Network access verification Deployment sizing analysis “What if” testing Forensic simulation Performance management Change & Configuration Simulation / Capacity Planning

Sources of Model and Policy Development environment (Visual Studio) IT staff through management tools Discovery Operational Monitoring Error reporting Extensible

The Art of Management Knowledge is the key to management Desired state is replicated down -models, constraints, policy, prescriptive guidance, SLAs, patches Actual state is replicated up -inventory, metrics, events, alerts, compliance, service level, results Management consists of resolving conflicts between desired and actual state Desired state DeveloperIT Admin Model CMDB Central Manager Remote Manager Local Model Managed System Actual state

DSI Vision: Self-managing Systems Self-* systems Self-configuring & self-adapting Self-optimizing Self-deploying & self-cleaning Self-protectingSelf-monitoringSelf-diagnosingSelf-healing Prevention better than cure A self-* system needs knowledge of self & its environment, it is self- aware Self-* is the epitome of model- based management Pervasive model Every app delivered with a model Model in every Windows system Desired state DeveloperIT Admin Model CMDB Central Manager Remote Manager Local Model Managed System Actual state
