Towards Low-Latency Model-Oriented Distributed Systems Management ⋆
Abstract. Windows and Unix systems have been traditionally very different with regard to configuration storage and management. In this paper we have adapted our CIM-based model-driven management framework, AdCIM, to extract, integrate and modify management and configuration information from both types of OS in a multiplatform and seamless way. We have achieved very low latencies and client footprints without sacrificing the model-driven approach. To enable this functionality for a wide range of system administration applications, we have implemented both an efficient CIM XML dialect and a distributed object infrastructure, and we have assessed its performance using two different approaches: CORBA and Web Services
