Abstract

As distributed systems get larger and more complex, there is an urgent need to manage their components in order to ensure reliable and efficient operations. Managing distributed systems entails monitoring the activities of their components and controlling their behavior as needed. This paper examines the requirements of managing distributed systems and proposes an integrated management architecture. The proposed architecture can provide the support for the management of not only the network services and devices but also the systems services, resources and applications. We also show how some of the management tools developed in the CORDS project fit in this management architecture.
