OSI systems management is a set of standards forthe management of open systems. Its acceptance by theindustry has been slower than that of SNMP, due to itsrelative complexity. However, it is gathering more and more momentum due to the increasingavailability of development tool kits and also due tothe real world implementations which have followed theuse in TMN. This paper contrasts OSI systems management to SNMP and TMN. It identifies the salientcharacteristics of OSI systems management and uses themas bases for the comparison. Aspects of X.25 managementare used for illustration purpose. OSI system management is half way between SNMP and TNM. It offersmore than SNMP, but less than TMN. SNMP, OSI systemsmanagement and TMN tackle different classes ofmanagement problems. None is a panacea andinteroperability is the key issue.
