The New Datacenter Server Model
The evolving data center is using multiple systems made up of a set of standard building blocks – network edge devices, load balancing devices, application servers and high-performance hardened database systems. Deployed in three tier configurations, with front ends of network edge and load balancing devices, a second tier of banks of application servers in parallel, and a third tier of back-end high performance database servers. Much of the work is network transactions occurring across multiple systems using high-speed networking or Infiniband interconnections Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Clustered Filesystems make storage a network attached resource and allow shared access, easier management and control of stored data. There are three evolving areas of distributed systems software that enable modular computing Web services, grid/clustered computing and distributed provisioning and management services. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Hardware Management Standards - DMTF
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) and the DMTF's Common Information Model (CIM). CIM is a standard for a common information model that features object friendly data content format that can be expressed in XML. DMI is a component instrumentation interface for workstations and servers. SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) is the standard for management extensions to the BIOS interface on Intel-based architectures). ASF (Alert Standard Format) which is an evolution of IBM and Intels Alert on LAN (AoL) standard for status and control of devices before an O/S is loaded. DEN (Directory Enabled Network) standard so management services can use standard distributed directories (via LDAP). The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), an industry standards organization developing management standards for enterprise and Internet environments, and the Blade Systems Alliance (BladeS), have entered into an alliance partnership where the two organizations will work to help strengthen and speed the implementation of DMTF's server management and utility computing standards Other related standards incorporate the DMTFs work: SNIA-driven SMI-S, open source movement driven WBEM (Web Based Enterprise Management) initiative, Microsoft's WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), and blade-system SMASH standards. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Hardware Management Standards - SMASH
The DMTF has formed a new sub-group, called the Server Management Working Group which has released a new group of standards, dubbed Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH). SMASH is a collection of efforts aimed at enabling network managers to gather hardware and low-level software information up to the OS. SMASH, like SMI-S, is based on and uses CIM The standard creates a unified way remote administration software can perform tasks such as rebooting a machine, reconfiguring a storage subsystem, assigning an Internet address to a machine or updating system software SMASH augments the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standard, released by the DMTF in 1998. SMASH includes a Command Line Protocol (CLP) for addressing and discovering CIM objects, as well as CIM models and profiles. Working on the standard are Dell, IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Sun as well as Microsoft, Oracle, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Distributed Systems Software
Web Services decouple an application from any single operating system environment. Applications written to a Web services model can transparently access any other portion of the application - no matter what computer or operating system it is running on. Grids, clusters and virtual operating systems enable processor power to be scaled to the application on demand. They also facilitate building fault- tolerant applications for improved reliability. Clustering infrastructures are evolving from proprietary to standards-based and open system-oriented. Grid computing offers the same advantages as clustering but over multiple operating systems and hardware platform without the need for tightly integrated system software. Both are complementary with Web services and are important elements of solutions that scale applications and make them more reliable. Distributed provisioning and management software allows software installation and ongoing control of multiple servers and/or the individual blades in a blade server. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Virtual Environments – example: VMware
VMware ESX Server is VMware's virtual infrastructure software for partitioning, consolidating and managing computing resources. Virtual SMP support allows virtual machines to span multiple physical processors, enabling virtual machines to scale for resource-intensive and/or fault-tolerant enterprise applications. VMware VirtualCenter provides customers a central point of control for virtual computing resources, and VMotion technology enables live virtual machines to be migrated for dynamic load balancing and zero-downtime maintenance. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Hardware Management Standards - IPMI
Intel’s Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a message-based hardware management interface implemented at the silicon level using a baseboard management controller, a small processor that sets up IPMI as a subsystem independent of the server's CPU or operating system. It enables remote monitoring, management and recovery capabilities, regardless of the status of the server. IPMI defines a common interface to how vendors monitor their system hardware and sensors (temperature, voltage, fan, etc.), control system components (power, blades, etc.), log important system events (chassis intrusion, CPU performance, etc.), and to allow administrators to remotely manage and recover failed systems. IPMI is promoted by Intel, Dell, HP, NEC and others IPMI 2.0 offers enhanced security by adding SHA-1 for detecting changes to the data stream, AES for better encryption, and VLAN support for better traffic isolation. To improve remote monitoring, the specification also includes serial redirection over the LAN for remote viewing of an IPMI server's boot process, as well as use of emergency management consoles. IPMI 2.0 beefs up blade system support in three ways. First, it reports on the status of blades while being hot-swapped, indicating whether the module is active or inactive, for example. Second, it monitors a secondary IPMI management bus that's commonly used in carrier-grade products built with Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA). Finally, it improves hacker and malware protection by restricting management capabilities to a given interface through a so-called "Firmware Firewall." © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Microsoft’s WMX Microsoft has pushed its own proposed management framework, code-named Web services for Management Extension (WMX). The framework describes a generic SOAP-based management protocol that reuses Microsoft's existing Web Service (WS) specifications and security models to support server management operations. Microsoft positions WMX as complementary to SMASH, noting that after integrating feedback about WMX from DMTF members, Microsoft would propose WMX as a standard to the DMTF There are concerns about overlap © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Software Management Standards
Software Management products for blades falls into a variety of categories such as: change and configuration management; image cloning and management; provisioning; application monitoring and control, and policy-based management At a low level a variety of standards exist and are used for these applications, such as the DMTF standards, SNMP and syslog, but at higher levels there is little standardization. Instead what may be most appropriate and is happening is for the major cross-platform management tools to add blade management capabilities. So software management software is a key factor in differentiating among the vendors, for example (not complete list): Egenera's Processing Area Network management software will provide the Epic and Oracle software with automatic backup and failover capabilities within the blade server chassis. IBM’s IBM Director connects with IBM’s Tivoli management software for more expansive capabilities and IBM‘s Web Infrastructure Orchestration software, designed to automate data-center operations for its Intel-based BladeCenter servers running its WebSphere middleware, DB2 database, and Tivoli Storage Manager software. RLX Technologies Control Tower XT software HP's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) server management package and HP’s Insight Manager which hooks into HP OpenView Dell's OpenManage server management package. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018

Distributed Environment Standards
The web services standards community (WW3, DMTF, Oasis) and the grid computing standards community (Globus) are standardizing on a common set of Internet based standards for distributed services (IPC, directory, security, data formats, events). These will be important for both remote management and for commercial application support. © 2004 Hitachi Data Systems September 18, 2018
