Jiro Technology Programmer's Guide and Federated Management Architecture

This programmer's guide is the authoritative reference to Sun Microsystems' revolutionary Jiro technology that is bringing higher levels of interoperability and adaptability to network and storage management applications. Complete with the formal specification of the Federated Management Architecture (FMA), this comprehensive resource provides immediate solutions for managing distributed environments while reducing costs and increasing efficiencies. Authored by Jiro experts (including the specification's lead architect at Sun), The Jiro Technology Programmer's Guide and Federated Management Architecture documents every facet of the specification with complete authority. Coverage spans from managing solution architectures (including the FMA) and storage networks to network programming and working with Jini. Complete with detailed instructions, this comprehensive sourcebook provides the tools, tips, and techniques needed to immediately simplify the process of building enterprise management applications. The key components of Jiro technology are explained, including: How Jiro is used in a complex management domain Network programming with Jiro An overview of Jini technology detailing which components are required knowledge for programming with the Jiro technology Internationalization and localization issues with Jiro Jiro static services, which include the Log Service, Scheduling Service, Event Service, and Transaction Service How to construct FederatedBeans for deployment into a dynamic resource management environment Patterns and information for building complex dynamic services All the detailed examples from the book are available at the Jiro technology Web site: http://www.jiro.com . 0201728974B05222001Connor, William is the author of 'Jiro Technology Programmer's Guide and Federated Management Architecture' with ISBN 9780201728972 and ISBN 0201728974.
