Abstract:
Administration and manageability are required functionality to any system. As systems move to cloudbased environments, to address direct service lines and user expectations, this functionality would need to align the emerging mediums. To this end, system management would adapt to meet user adoption. Administration is understood as the oversight of software and middleware technologies to bridge solution with user interaction ensuring Quality of Service (QOS) while manageability speaks to the end to end oversight of deployment, administration and monitoring of a solution including but limited to application infrastructure, hardware, integration elements, and network. At a basic level, Service-oriented Architecture realigns hardware resourcing through adding a configuration layer. As SOA integrations in Cloud structures operate encompassed by a black box paradigm, this monitoring would be built into the interface and would need to be integrated at the time of proof of design concept. The underpinning Cloud structure consists of a series of tiers presentation, application, data, adapter, and administrative. Through resource abstraction, SOA design and web service loose-coupling allows for thirdparty vendors to be integrated into overarching architecture providing bridge between user and system. The implementation of a User-Side Cloud Service Management (UCSM) Framework would work to achieve this end. Within this framework, technology solutions can align directly to business needs through a series of interface systems perhaps interconnected, but independently built. Manageability in that the system being managed can be expanded through implementing additional modules to increase functionality or improve current state systems.
