三年成预计10年的努力,为Windows创建,它的时间自我修复管理平台微软停止说话,并开始生产,分析师和合作伙伴说。
The company will get that opportunity this week at its fourth annual Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) in San Diego. But observers say Microsoft is stuck in first gear as it scrambles to get customers situated on the base management software and release products that support the most complex part of the platform, an XML-based modeling technology called the System Definition Model (SDM).
该公司雄心勃勃的管理计划,在MMS于2003年首次推出,被称为动态系统计划(DSI)。它侧重于建立围绕系统管理服务器(SMS)的Microsoft Operations Manager(MOM)时,Visual Studio和Windows Server,虚拟服务器,和一套专门的工具,如容量规划,备份和报告服务管理平台,下系统中心的品牌名称。去年在MMS,微软加入计划的非Windows平台,包括Solaris和Linux支持管理调升的利害关系。
"This year is a put-up-or-shut-up year," says Peter Pawlak, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft. The putting up centers on SDM, which is used to build models that dictate how systems are managed.
Last year at MMS, keynote speaker Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice president of the Windows enterprise management division, said "knowledge expressed in models across the application life cycle is what DSI is all about." Microsoft has not produced the infrastructure software to create that environment, however.
SDM的车型,这是嵌入在应用中,都勾画这样的参数如何应用应该配置哪些安全策略与操作相关的XML文档。
该应用最终将能够养活这些信息来短信,妈妈将使用这些参数SDM监测保健,配置和应用程序和支持系统相关的任务其他管理工具的启用SDM的版本。
微软plans to SDM-enable all its infrastructure software, including the operating system, so the SDM management models can be used to repair, troubleshoot and report on network health.
微软, however, has made scant progress on SDM tools.
去年,该公司发布的Visual Studio 2005,它为开发人员提供基本的功能构建基于SDM-管理模式到应用程序,和Visual Studio Team System的,它涉及到测试人员,架构师和IT人员除了在模型建筑开发商。
微软also won industry support for a Web-services standard it created calledWS-管理,这是SDM模型的传输协议,现正在审查批准由分布式管理任务组。
But Microsoft's big guns that could jump-start SDM are missing - most notably the next versions of MOM and SMS that incorporate support for management via SDM models. Microsoft is expected to launch the first public beta of MOM Version 3 at MMS, and SMS Version 4 is slated to ship early next year.
"Last year they talked about these health models in an abstract way," says analyst Pawlak.
"They didn't say what tools MOM V3 would have to support these models. They didn't say how Orcas [the next version of Visual Studio] would allow you to develop these models as you develop your code. They have to talk about that this year. And they should have a finalized schema for SDM, something they have published that goes into what this thing looks like," he adds.
微软官员说,他们正在评估他们所创建的SDM模式是否应该上缴标准身体一些分析师建议。但首先微软表示,希望拿出一个坚实的实施标准机构可以开始评估。
微软为它的一部分说SDM的基于模型的策略是投资的主要区域今年以来,随着虚拟化和扩展系统中心它称之为知识驱动的管理一起。
“我想你锣看到SDM的显着改善与新的MOM和SMS的版本中,”幸福McGourty,在Windows企业管理部门的产品管理总监说。
“有时候进展DSI是等同于普洛古莱s on SDM implementation," McGourty says. But she says the two are not intertwined: "We do not want to have customers wait for our [SDM] architecture implementation. We want to know how we can give customers benefits against our current products."
McGourty cites examples such as MOM management packs that begin to offer health models, and prescriptive guidance provided through Solution Acelerators for optimizing SMS for certain tasks.
但是,合作伙伴说,一些利益相关方不希望听到任何实质性的。“我们的很多客户都不会显示,今年,因为他们不希望新学到任何东西,”谁不愿意透露姓名的合伙人。
其他合作伙伴认为,微软已经得到了提前的本身。“有了DSI,我不认为他们是一起因为他们认为他们是远,”其他合作伙伴谁不愿被识别说。“他们没有得到的工具和相应的产品出了门。”
The partner says that its products to extend the DSI concept often can't be installed correctly because users don't have SMS configured the way Microsoft would like. "Everything has to be golden on the SMS or MOM side for us to put our stuff in and have it work."
但一些分析师表示,考虑到该项目和长达十年的时间框架的性质,微软并没有这样做不好与DSI,这是类似的举措在HP,IBM,Sun等厂商搅动了。
“那他们在这把优先级是不会在该时间范围,他们最初的设想提供它,”与企业管理协会的分析师安迪·曼说。他说,任何延迟,但是,必须考虑到Longhorn的操作系统,它被提名的船在2004年的时候DSI宣布,现在将不准备延迟到2007年底。
"It's a big leap to go from manual management to automatic, and then it's another major leap to go from automatic to autonomic," Mann says. "It's not a surprise it is taking Microsoft time to get significant results."
