Open Source Enterprise Service Management (OSESM) System John Emerson, President, Avenue Open, Inc.

1. Open Source Enterprise Service Management (OSESM) System Open Source Test, Monitoring, and Management System for the Application Tier Presentation to MIL-OSS 2010

2. Agenda Background – Problem Statement Current Research Project Full System Vision Invitation to Collaborate

4. Infrastructure

6. A New Way of Thinking….

7. Open Source Enterprise Service Management System (OSESM) Commoditize Proven Capabilities Advance the State-of-the-Art Dramatically Drive Down Cost

8. What We Are Researching (“R&d”) Today Initial OSESM Framework Mechanisms to Collect Application Tier Data – Various Types and Forms System to Disseminate Data to the Appropriate Processing points Analysis - Correlation and Root Cause Analysis System Foundation for Comprehensive Application Runtime Test and Monitoring System

9. Research Specifics New and varied forms of Application Tier Instrumentation Collectors – Collect Raw Data from Application Infrastructure and underlying Components – from Application Server, OS, and related Project to result in the development of Agents or similar Applicability: When the Mission has control of the Technology When deep, detailed information is required Reflectors – Collect Raw Data from Network Devices and related Non-invasive – Can be used when Mission does not own technology end-to-end Higher level data, useful for Visualization, Message Tracking, Inter-System Analysis Data Dissemination Techniques From Instruments to appropriate Analytical Engine(s) Foundation for Federation, needed for “Mission Thread” scale

10. Advancements in Data Analysis Techniques Specifically Targeted to Understand Mission Thread Errors and Breakages Researching Sophisticated Correlation System Correlate Interesting and Related Data Across All Tiers What Happened at Each Level at Any Given Point in Time Application Operating System Runtime Infrastructure Code Root Cause Analysis Applied to Correlated Data What Broke? Where, Why, How - Specifically When - Proactive Notification, not post-facto Analysis

11. Project Deliverables Open, published APIs – Instrumentation and Analytical Servers Various forms - SOAP/WSDL/XML, REST, Binary (for Low Resource, Low Bandwidth situations or Legacy) Various Levels – Application Layer and Supporting Resources Reference Implementations and Affiliated Documentation Instruments – Collectors and Reflectors Intermediary Message Processor Analytical Servers – Root Cause and Correlation

12. Benefits Dramatically Lower Cost - Estimated TCO is 10% of today’s COTS Solutions Flat Out - A Better ESM Faster Resolution for Problems that fall between OS, Hardware, Network, Application, and Mission Layers Extensible - by the Community Instrumentation from the Community – Inexpensive, Accessible Build New Instruments as Needed – Info Readily Available Adaptable – Legacy systems, Packaged Applications, Tactical Military, Hardware Appliances, Cloud Computing, others Decouple Instrumentation from Analysis Mix-and-Match best-of-breed solutions New or Expanded Uses – Possibilities include Testing & Development - Debugging Distributed Applications Application Security Monitoring – New or non-standard Usage Alerting, Intruder Tracing

13. Vision and Future Objective Framework is a Foundation, a Starting Point Full Vision – Complete System for Testing, Monitoring, and Managing Applications at Runtime Additional Requirements for Full System Metrics Processing Discovery Mechanisms Visualization Engine Logging Facilities User Portal Administrative Console Ultimate Objective – Full Open Source System, with a Repository for New Contributions Open Licensing Open Repository for New Contributions

18. Invitation to Collaborate Net Centric Computing is growing Increasingly more Complex OSESM Sorely Needed We Need: Transition Partners – Programs or Organizations Interested in using the Results of the efforts of Current Project Collaboration Partners – Willing to Fund and/or Contribute to development of Full Vision System Interested? Please Speak to me After the Presentation

19. Wrap Up OSESM will Dramatically Improve the ability to Field and Manage Net Centric Applications and Mission Threads Gather and Analyze Application Tier Data at Runtime Proactive Notification when Mission Thread Breaks What Broke, Where, How, Why At Every Level – Application, Operating System, Runtime Infrastructure, Code At Far Lower Costs – Estimated TCO 10% of COTS Initial Framework Under Development Today Transition and/or Collaboration Partners Strongly Encouraged!
