Explanation/Reference:
The following list is a sample architecture principles that pertain to the management and monitoring framework.
* Service Aware (B)
Treat a Service as a super infrastructure component.
As more and more enterprises utilize Services as a means to build and compose business solutions it has become critical that IT operations have a comprehensive approach to managing and monitoring these Services.
* Standards-based Integration (C)
Standards based approach to integration to interact with internal and external IT operational systems.
Standards-based integration improves the ability to interoperate with existing but also future and unknown IT operational systems. This facilitates the ability to manage and monitor the IT environment holistically as well as minimizing the cost of maintaining the integrations.
* Discoverable (E)
Discovery of deployed services and infrastructure components.
Services and infrastructure components have become more dependent on one another, with many of these interdependencies crossing corporate boundaries. Without access to information concerning these dynamic interdependencies diagnosing problems and correlating problems in a complex, distributed environment is a huge challenge. Identifying and understanding dependencies manually is cost prohibitive, and breaks down with rising complexity and a rapid rate of change.
Note:
Other architecture principles that apply here as well:
* Compliant
* Proactive
* Externalize Management
* Manage and Monitor as One
* Extensible
